Sanctions

The tensions have further escalated between US and Iran, after US president Trump slapped Iran with new sanctions on the country’s Metal Sector.

This all, was spiraled out by last year between the following countries US and Iran, when American president had made a sudden decision to withdraw the 2015 JCPOA nuclear pact and pulled US out of it. This has sent shock waves to Iran and troubled its economic progress as Trump was constantly imposing sanctions on Iran.

Sighting to all this, Iran too has taken an iron fist stand and its President Hassan Rouhani has threatened to retaliate with the equal steps and measures.

JCPOA have in its membership the countries like “UK, GERMANY, FRANCE, RUSSIA AND CHINA”.  Since, the US’s pull out they have been trying to convince the Trump of understanding how important it was to be abided in the deal, and to limit Iran’s nuclear capability.

Iran’s President Rouhani has given “60 days” impasse, to all the member countries of this pact including US. Rouhani has further threatened with the suspending of Iran’s several commitments in the pact.

Rouhani Said, “We have sent letters to five other Nation Members of the 2015 Nuclear pact, and we have warned them of the consequences, if these discriminatory sanctions are not banished asap.”

Rouhani added that, this theocratic attitude of US President was making strides and grudging the gap of any possible negotiations between these two countries.

“We can bring Arak reactor back to the light, we will, we have friends with countries like China to resume our designing and works on that”, Rouhani Said.

This he warned, after Iran has been facing huge demise in its Oil economy.

That has been embargoed by US government.  Iran, due to this is facing an economic downfall.

Early in the morning Trump said in a statement that decisions made by the US, of imposing new sanctions have been like a powerful pressure camp, ever witnessed.”

With new sanctions Trump said that it will further strengthen the camp against Iran.

 

Meanwhile, Russian counterpart Sergev Lavrov in a meeting with the Iran FM Imran zarif in Moscow has blamed US of escalating the dispute.

Speaking to press,  Lavrov said, ” The US is to blame for the situation, and makes difficult for both Iran to fullfill its obligations…for the general state of non-proliferation regime.”

Present into the place, the Iran FM Zarif, expressed that Iran was going to adhere all the commitments only when signatories like UK and the others would keep their words, and respond the same.(Agencies)
