1. Yesterday, @SahilV_Shah and I published new analysis on the operationalization of #INSTEX and the continued importance of the mechanism for efforts to save the JCPOA.
Today, INSTEX was cited as a reason why the Joint Commission had a positive meeting.

2. @araghchi's comments might be a surprise to those who had written-off INSTEX as a failed project. But the real work to establish the SPV mechanism only began in the summer of 2019. We are starting to see the fruits of that work now.
3. In the last six months, INSTEX has expanded its staff to include a CEO, COO, compliance officer, and relationship manager. It has gotten an injection in new capital from six new shareholders. It has increased the tempo of its consultations with European + Iranian firms.
Great to be @MiddleEastInst for an event on #EU-#MiddleEast relations with @AlexVatanka, Przemyslaw Osiewicz and @KianpourWorld. What do changes in EU personnel and the new @EU_Commission mean for EU-MENA relations?
Listen to our own MENA episode on Europe and #Iran here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eur…
What are the main issues in MENA region for EU?
1) #MiddleEast Peace Plan
2) Iran
3) #Libya

22. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

1. The Trump admin is quietly considering using powers granted to the Treasury Department under the Patriot Act to dramatically cut #Iran's last links to the global financial system, in a move likely intended to hobble #INSTEX, as @TylerCullis explains.

2. Back in 2011, the Obama admin used Section 311 powers to designate Iran as a “primary money laundering concern." But it never issued the "Final Rule" requiring banks to take onerous "special measures" in order to deal with Iran. Other sanctions on banks were deemed sufficient.
3. Now, the rule is back on the agenda. @TylerCullis warns that if the "Final Rule" is issued, "European banks that maintain accounts on behalf of Iranian financial institutions are likely to take steps to shutter such accounts so as to sustain their own accounts at US banks."

1/ #Iran announced it has exceeded the allowable limits of low-enriched uranium as outlined in the #IranNuclearDeal. It has threatened to escalate further next weekend.
What should happen next?

2/ The U.S. and the remaining parties to the #IranNuclearDeal should not overreact.
#Iran's breach is very limited and reversible.

۱) تنها شرط - یا پیشنیازی - که اروپاییها برای تجارت با #ایران مطرح کردهاند «تداوم پایبندی ایران به #برجام» است. پس از راهاندازی ساحات (#INSTEX) به ترتیب سه بیانیه از جانب ۳ کشور مؤسس ساحات، خانم موگرینی و سپس «شورای اروپایی» صادر شد.
۲) در یکی از این بیانیهها هیچ صحبتی از FATF# نشد. در دو بیانیه دیگر به وضوح این دقت حقوقی بکار رفته بود که از واژهای که تداعیگر نوعی «الزام» باشد استفاده نشود و صرفاً به افعال expect (انتظار میرود) و urge (تشویق میکند) بسنده شده بود - که امری اتفاقی نیست!
۳) کاش دکتر توکلی مشخص کنند در بیانیههای اروپاییها دقیقاً کدام فعل یا کلیدواژه به نظر ایشان این قابلیت را دارد که از آن نوعی «شرط» - آن هم یک شرط تحقیرآمیز - استنباط شود؟
