Pure mafia. The US. They have succumbed to the Jewish mafia, and they are making threats against Europe and European interests and companies. This is it. The USA and the Jewish zionazi mafia state must be destroyed. It is war.

They even demand that Iran leaves Syria even though that Iran is invited to Syria by the Syrian regime. How about the US leaves Syria and the entire region? While the US is located on the other side of the planet, Iran is right in the middle of the middle east and they have a more natural right to look out for its interests because it is in their region. The US can go back where they belong and bully their own region instead.



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday threatened to impose the “strongest sanctions in history” against Iran if it did not accept a sweeping series of U.S. demands, including effectively giving up its nuclear ambitions, curtailing its ballistic missile program and ending its expansionist behavior.

Weeks after the United States pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran, Pompeo spelled out a hardline approach towards the Islamic Republic, potentially setting Washington and Tehran on a deeper confrontation course.

“The sting of sanctions will only grow more painful if the regime does not change course from the unacceptable and unproductive path it has chosen for itself and the people of Iran,” Pompeo said in his first major foreign policy speech since becoming secretary of state.

“These will be the strongest sanctions in history by the time we are done,” he added.

Pompeo took aim at Iran’s policy of expanding its influence in the Middle East through support for proxy armed groups in countries such as Syria and Yemen.

He warned that the United States would “crush” Iranian operatives and allies abroad and told Tehran to withdraw all forces under its command from the Syrian civil war where they back President Bashar al-Assad.

Iran is unlikely to accede to the U.S. demands. Tension between the two countries has grown notably since U.S. President Trump this month withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Pompeo warned that if Iran fully resumed its nuclear program Washington would be ready to respond and said the administration would hold companies doing prohibited business in Iran to account.

“Our demands on Iran are not unreasonable: give up your program,” Pompeo said, “Should they choose to go back, should they begin to enrich, we are fully prepared to respond to that as well,” he said, declining to elaborate.

IRAN LEADERS

The speech did not explicitly call for regime change but Pompeo repeatedly urged the Iranian people not to put up with their leaders, including President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

“At the end of the day the Iranian people will get to make a choice about their leadership. If they make the decision quickly, that would be wonderful, if they choose not to do so we will stay hard at this until we achieve the outcomes I set forward,” said Pompeo.

He laid out 12 demands for Iran and said relief from economic sanctions would only come when Washington had seen tangible shifts in Iran’s policies.

He called on Iran to stop uranium enrichment and never to pursue plutonium reprocessing, including closing its heavy water reactor.

It also had to declare all previous military dimensions of its nuclear program and to permanently and verifiably abandon such work, he said.

Pompeo’s demand that Tehran stop uranium enrichment goes even further than the nuclear deal. Iran says its nuclear work has medical uses and will produce energy to meet domestic demand and complement its oil reserves.

European parties to the nuclear deal - France, Britain and Germany - are working to find a way to keep the nuclear pact in effect after Washington’s exit.

Pompeo said Washington would be open to a new treaty and wanted the support of America’s allies, not just in Europe.

He said the administration will work to address concerns of its allies but over time hoped they would recognize that the Trump administration’s strategy on Iran was the right one.

“There are scores of countries around the world that share our concerns and are equally threatened by the Iranian regime and it is that shared interest which will ultimately drive, I believe, a global response to the world’s largest state-sponsor of terrorism,” Pompeo said.

‪The threats that comes from the US State Department against Europe and European interests and companies is as close to a declaration of war as it can get.

I think now is the time to join forces with Russia and China and strike the US and Nazi Israel in pre-emptive self defense. We would all benefit from it.

I’m pretty sure a whole lot of other countries who are fed up with the mafia methods that comes from the US/Israel and Barbaria/ISIS, would want to join too.

I love how it's so blatantly obvious that the only reason Paramount cares at all about the Iran deal is because the Jews are involved. Classic move from the resident anti-Semite.

Anyway, this kind of badboy behavior isn't good and I think it'll hurt the US in the long run, but on the other hand it's far from an empty threat and Europe can't just give us the finger without feeling real pain. Hard to see how this will play out, but I will say it'd be hilarious to watch the EU crash and burn because it's political elites prioritized placating Iranian mullahs over keeping their economy afloat.

Keeping economies afloat is easy. See your last federal budget.

Iran will pay a premium on *stuff*, but the hardline the US has gone out with leaves no wriggleroom. The EU was probably hoping to wrangle a new deal with important changes like a Trump tower in Teheran and calling it The Greatest Comprehensive Agreement Ever On Iran Thank You Trump (TGCAEOITYT).

What remains clear is that small and medium sized Iranian businesses can export stuff if the EU sets up independent banking in some for or another.

And that is ultimately what is important to Iran. China and Russia can deal with the big contracts.

In sum:

Trump locks EU and US companies from fossile fuel, transportation and infrastucture projects, and thus assures that Chinese and Russian bids will profit.

Trump protects Iran from EU agricultural surpluses and consumer goods.

Trump does not harm Iranian export capabilities to Europe on a small to medium scale, and to China, Pakistan and Russia for large scale stuff.

His pivot will certainly shave points off Iranian growth, but is it really worth it?
