U.S. will trigger ‘snapback’ mechanism to reimpose Iran sanctions
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with several key UN figures on Thursday to inform them of the demand issued by President Donald Trump.
By Politico, August 20, 2020President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that he would demand that the United Nations reimpose all of the body’s sanctions on Iran, triggering a so-called snapback mechanism that could end the nuclear deal that he withdrew from in 2018.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he would travel to New York on Thursday to meet with several key UN figures to inform them of the demand issued by Trump.
“I’ll meet with the Security Council president, and then the secretary general will provide notification of the snapback and then 30 days from now, all the sanctions that were in place will resume,” Pompeo said in an interview on Fox News.
“They have been temporarily paused because of the ridiculous nuclear deal, and the world will be a safer place.”
The move willset the stage for a potentially contentious showdown with the UN Security Council, where the U.S. has veto power, over reimposing the sanctions that were eased as part of the 2015 agreement with Iran as well as Germany, Britain, France, China and Russia.
Other countries involved in the deal contend that the United States has no standing to trigger the snapback because Trump withdrew from the deal two years ago. The Trump administration asserts that the language in the Security Council resolution enshrining the agreement allows for the move by the White House.
The result could be a nuclear deal that the United States says is dead but that other countries say is alive.
The U.S. has already reimposed its own punishing sanctions on Iran, including on non-American entities that do business with Tehran — leading to increased tensions that hit a fever pitch earlier this year. As a result, Iran has begun taking steps that violate certain terms of the deal, such as resuming uranium-enrichment-related work at a key nuclear site.
Trump’s decision to trigger the snapback mechanism was expected in the wake of a rejected U.S. effort at the UN last week to extend an arms embargo on Iran that was set to expire in October as part of the nuclear deal.

BIG MEETING On A Snap-Back, And JCPOA Group Will Meet On September 1
The waiting period is 30 days from yesterday, when Pompeo issued a formal proposal to snap-back to the UN Security Council head. If nobody objects to the USA proposal within that 30 days, the snap-back is automatic. However, if anyone DOES object, the USA can/will veto their objection. [A typical Trumpian forking maneuver. No matter what the adversary does, they lose.]
But Russia / China will try for wiggle room, like “well you can’t snap back because you’re too fat” or something. September 1 is a good time to meet, because sanctions must be renewed or extended by October, or Iran can buy bombers, ICBMs, etc. from someone. Sept 1 gives time to talk and negotiate. And without sanctions, Israel would probably ‘go kinetic’ on Iran, as the military now phrases things.

I have dozens and dozens memes of the chimp (obama), so many about all the harm he did to the US and the world in general I’m having a hard time deciding which one I want to post. I think I’ll start with this one.

Sderot mayor to Netanyahu, Gantz: Wake up, we’re at war
https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/sderot-mayor-to-netanyahu-gantz-wake-up-were-in-war-639514
“Residents of Sderot and the Gaza border communities are being pounded with rockets and are running to the shelters,” Davidi said, asking “what ‘peace in exchange for peace’ are they talking about?”
———-
Iran is mad about the coming sanctions so they are bombing Israel with rockets and incendiary balloons that land and start fires. Hundreds of balloons in the last few days.
