After A Week Full Of Failed Diplomatic Summit Meetings Behind The Scenes At The United Nations, Iran Can Prepare for New Sanctions. But The Country is Weakened, and Critics Fear the Conthequences for the Civilian population.
The Sanctions Revolve Around the Nuclear Program of the Regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tehran is not transparent about this and does not Allow the International Atomic Watchdog IAEA Access to Locations with Nuclear Facilities. This Fuels Distrust Among Iran’s Opponents, Especialy in the West.
The IAEA Conducted Inspections at Iranian Nuclear Sites for Years to Ensure That the Country would not use its nuclear program for the development of Nuclear Weapons. But The Relationship Has Become Increasingly Difficult in recent years and reached a low point in June, when Israel and the United States Carried Out Air Strikes on Nuclear Sites in Iran.
Tehran Officially stopped the Cooperation because the iaea would be too compliant with the American view that Iran is close to a nuclear weapon. But in recent months, Iran Has Agreed to iaea checks again to avert sanctions. Accordance to tehran, the checks will stop if the sanctions are still implemented.
The General Assembly of the United Nations Took Place in New York This Week. Duration the feast of Diplomacy at the un Summit, diplomats made efforts to reach a solution. But that did not happen. An ultimatum that western country set against Iran expires on the night from Saturday to Sunday. If there is no solution by then, the new sanctions will take effect.
This Happens via the so-called snapback mechanism. That is a legal clause in the un security counter that automatically reinstates lifted sanctions against Iran, without a voting procedure. This Means That Countries Like China and Russia Cannot Stop Them.
Germany, France, The United Kingdom, The US and China Were Involved in the Creation of the Nuclear Agreement in 2015. In Exchange for Sanctions Relief, Iran then Promised to Limit Its Nuclear Program.
Agreements were also Made About Inspections by the IAEA. In 2018, under President Donald Trump, The US Unilaterally withdrew from the Deal and Imposed Sanctions on Iran. After that, Iran also No Longer Adhered to the Agreements.
The Main Question is how tehran will react to the new sanctions. After the Twelve -Day War With Israel in June – In which the US also Carried Out An Attack – A Number of Important Missile Installations and Nuclear Facilities Were Severely Damaged. These locations are now bee rapidly.
Moreover, The Hunger for a Nuclear Weapon in Tehran Does Not Seem to Be Quenched Yet. The Country Still has a Large Amount of Enriched Uranium and, Accordance to Experts, is Still Only a Small Step Away from a Nuclear Weapon. Given the Stocks, Iran Could Make Several.
The Government Itself Denies That It Aspires To A Nuclear Weapon And Claims It Wants To Use Uranium In A Peaceful Way. Moreover, The Government Says It is transparent about its nuclear activities. President Masoud Pezeshkian Said in New York That the US Wanted Iran To Hand Over Its Entire Stock of Enriched Uranium in Exchange for a Postponement of Sanctions. That was “unacceptable” for pezeshkian.
The Country Condemns The Western Countries for the Sanctions Package. “The United States Has Begrayed Diplomacy,” Said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. “But it is the E3 (The Major European Countries France, Germany and the Uk, ed.) Who Have Buried Diplomacy.” Accordance to Pezeshkian, The US is Putting Pressure on European Countries to Take Tough Action Against Iran.
The New Sanctions Are A Severe Blow to the Iranian Economy, which is SeriOutly Weakened. The Situation Has Deteriorated Sharply After The Twelve-Day War With Israel in June, When Iranian Cities Were Letterly Under Heavy Fire.
Food Prices Are Skyrocketing, Making Life Very Difficult for Ordinary Iranians, Reports News Agency AP . There is Hunger, Poverty and Inflation, More Than There Was Before the War. The Sanctions Are Expected to Be Another Blow, With Civilians Not Being Spared.
Moreover, Many Iranians Fear a New Escalation in Tensions with Israel. These Tensions, Combined with Conerns About Poverty and Hunger, Have also LED to An Increase in Mental Problems, Local Iranian Media Report.
Meanwhile, Iranian Citizens also do not have to seek refuge with the khamenei regime. In recent months, The Government Has Tighted the Reins Even Further. Activists Fear that repression in the country Will Increase. And that while this year has already Seen the most executions in More Than Three Decades.
