Iran Caught Hiding Nuclear Work – Tripling Its Nuclear Stockpile, Sparking Call for Full Sanctions ‘Snapback’

42

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has nearly tripled its stockpile of enriched uranium since November, despite the agreement it had made in the disastrous nuclear deal from which President Trump had withdrawn, but countries that remained signatories still believe in.

The International Atomic Energy Agency stated that as of Feb. 19, Iran’s total stockpile of low-enriched uranium reached 1,020.9 kilograms compared to 372.3 kilograms as noted in its last report on Nov. 3, 2019, ABC News reported, adding, “The current stockpile puts Iran within reach of the amount needed to produce a nuclear weapon, which it insists it does not want to do.”

Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia are still signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal, aka the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which permits Iran to amass no more than 202.8 kilograms.

Iran Caught Hiding Nuclear Work, Sparking Call for Full Sanctions ‘Snapback’

SFRC chair says Trump must ‘trigger a full snapback of sanctions’

By: Adam Kredo, WFB, March 4, 2020:

Iran’s stockpiling of highly enriched uranium is raising new questions about the scope of its undisclosed nuclear work and the efficacy of soon-to-be-lifted restrictions on its missile program, which develops the primary vehicle to carry a nuclear payload, U.S. officials told the Washington Free Beacon.

Iran has been blocking inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from accessing key sites that the watchdog group has cited for having traces of undisclosed nuclear materials, fueling speculation that Tehran is again engaged in the secret construction of nuclear weapons-grade material.

Recently installed IAEA chief Rafael Grossi took the unprecedented step this week of going public about Iran’s intransigence, telling Reuters on Tuesday the Islamic Republic is not living up to multiple commitments under the landmark nuclear accord.

“We have insisted and despite all our efforts we have not been able to get that [access], so the situation requires on my part such a step because what this means is that Iran is curtailing the ability of the agency to do its work,” Grossi said.

While the Trump administration removed the United States from the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018, administration officials maintain they can still petition the United Nations Security Council for a “snapback” of all international sanctions lifted under the accord, which still counts several European countries as members.

The administration’s long-awaited decision on snapback has emerged as a flashpoint ahead of the lifting of a U.N. embargo on Iran’s missile program in October. If the U.N. ban is lifted on Iran’s missile program, which includes medium and long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear payload, Iran will be free to purchase a range of offensive weapons that will further embolden its power grab across the Middle East, U.S. officials warn.

Already, Russia has signaled that it will stand in the way of Trump administration efforts to maintain the arms embargo, setting the stage for a showdown at the U.N. over the embargo and sanctions snapback.

State Department officials told the Free Beacon that Russia is taking a significant risk with its position, which could spark a massive arms race across the Middle East and throw the region into further chaos.

“Failure to extend the U.N. ban on Iran’s ability to buy and sell advanced weapons will lead to an escalating arms race in the Middle East,” a State Department official, speaking only on background about the situation, told the Free Beacon on Wednesday. “That should worry every nation, including Russia.”

If Russia and other traditional foes such as China buck the United States on the arms embargo, the Trump administration may be forced to invoke snapback, a failsafe mechanism built into the nuclear accord that permits nations involved to unilaterally reapply all of the international sanctions lifted as part of the deal.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the Free Beacon late last month that he and the president are undecided on the issue of snapback. However, if the arms embargo is set to be lifted, the Trump administration may be forced to invoke snapback as a last-ditch effort to keep sanctions on Iran in place.

Sen. Jim Risch (R., Idaho), chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Free Beacon that the Trump administration should not hesitate to initiate sanctions snapback at the U.N.

“Dummkopf”, nice Pam. You could also say Dussel, Doofi or Depp. You should use German words more often (not only Oberkapo), as an antidote to junk like “fuhrerious” or “Atomwaffen Division”.

This Marxist Dussel has German ancestors, learned Arabic and Hebrew in Israel. An intellectual Dussel so to say.

Never heard of Kurt Krueger. Not to confuse with this actor “Kreuger”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Kreuger

Astonishing how precisely one was already aware of Hitler’s “psyche” in March 1942, immediately before the Holocaust. https://newrepublic.com/article/89281/the-man-within

We already know that CAMEL PEE cures cancer and other ailments. Now we have a cure for the “Trump virus”. These are truly brilliant 7th century people. LOL

They now have a cure from an Imam scholar who is well versed on Mohammad. The result of the “cure” is to spread it around more and use quackery to cure it.

Iran’s Response To Coronavirus
Might Explain The High Mortality Rate

Written by Wes Walker on March 3, 2020

The left assures us that all cultures are equal.
But are they right?

After all, how many other cultures — in the midst of a viral scare like this one — would you see doing this?

Shocking footage has emerged of Iranians tempting fate by licking the doors and a burial mound at the Fatima Masumeh Shrine in Qom, the epicenter of the Islamic Republic’s COVID-19 outbreak.

Journalist Masih Alinejad shared video of the disturbing practice, noting that officials have refused to shut down the religious shrines — while the death toll in the country stands at 66, with more than 1,500 infected.

“These pro-regime people are licking the shrines & encouraging people to visit them,” he said in a tweet. “Iran’s authorities are endangering lives of Iranians & the world.” — NYPost

Clink on the link below to view the video!

I’m not really sure which of these two ‘solutions’ is more disturbing.

Ayatollahs’ solutions to the Coronavirus:
(and all other viruses)

1- Dip a cotton in oil and place it inside the anus before you sleep.
2- Take a bottle of water to a cleric and have him spit inside it for blessings before drinking.

Not a joke.

I agree!
When the lips of a Muslim are moving,
he/she is probably lying to an infidel.
Now we can safely assume that with DEMS and RINOS.
I always like to give RINOS their just dues.

A preemptive strike on this rogue state is a must. If not, Iran will strike first at Israel and then hold the EU States in fear of nuclear confrontation.
Iran already has the EU by the short ones, the influx of Muslim-migrants will, no doubt, give Iran the upper hand. Not to dismiss, the EU is sucking its last breath as a Western culture at this moment in time.

The Middle East’s Arab, Islamic states are also untrustworthy. The West’s so-called Liberal governments’ spiteful and anti-Semitic/Israel actions toward Israel will bite the EU and other bogus Western allies on the hiney.

The so-called Western Liberalism is not progressive, but retrogressive. Iran is aware that this faux-Liberalism is one of utter instability, indecision, and spineless; hence, Iran has no fear nor concern of the West’s response to its tripling its nuclear stockpile. These so-called sanctions do not affect the Mullahs, the Iranian hierarchy, or its military personnel. Yet, these inept, gutless Western leaders continue this charade to dupe their dupable citizens. The latter of which will pay the ultimate price because of their never-ending shortsightedness.

Off topic … but on the topic of posting posts.

I have noticed that the odd page down and page up after posting has disappeared.

Thank you! To anyone who anything to do with fixing it.

But it’s really amazing how different it is to ‘post’ without jumping to the top or bottom of a page.

Not sure if this had anything to do with ad blockers. I’m still using the same ad blocker with the same settings and ‘whitelisted’ sites – like Geller and FPM.

It makes a big difference.

No. It was jumping up to the top of the page or down to the bottom of the page. And I use an adblocker, but the jumping was happening on all pages – whether whitelisted or not.

Now … it’s gone. No jumping at all.

It is such a relief to not pop up or down again. And I didn’t do anything. Didn’t clean any cookies or do any maintenance on the laptop. Definitely did not change my adblocker in anyway.

you and yours have a wonderful week, MMFP!

The Nuclear deal really makes you wonder if Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia all secretly want to see Iran NUKE the US.

I have a different theory.

Iran wants Turkey to start the next big war, not fight it themselves, not directly anyway.

Via Iran’s proxy forces actions they plan on getting Russia and Communist China to fight the USA in a nuclear war while they sit it out and muslim states pick up the pieces later.

I don’t think Erdogan, Trump and Putin have figured that out yet.

Ilhan Nur Said ( who you know as Omar ) and her war criminal father violated our Immigration laws when they came to The United States. They should have their citizenship revoked and sent back to Somalia. Ilhan has made a mockery of our Immigration system, court system, and government. She has done crimes that would have put anyone else in jail for over 40 years with marrying her brother, stealing campaign money, and fraud in her divorces, college scholarship, etc.

Hillary said they didn’t support the revolution for democracy in Iran because “the United States, had to be very careful not to look like what was happening inside Iran was directed by… the United States.”
Why? ∅bama didn’t hide his support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
It also turns out that Hillary’s advisors on Iran included Trita Parsi, the president of the George Soros-funded National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a powerful Iranian lobbying group in Washington
