Don't most countries ignore the US's sanctions against Cuba?
Aren't most of the sanctions against Iran related to the UN resolutions against their nuclear weapon program? Doesn't the EU also have their own set of sanctions against Iran?
- pphysch 5y agoThe current bulk of sanctions against Iran were unilaterally imposed by the Trump administration in violation of the JCPOA. The UNSC, including "allies" like Germany, explicitly opposed the US's illegal application of sanctions in 2020. The US violated the JCPOA, not Iran. Both the Rouhani and Raisi governments have the stated policy that they will return the the JCPOA if the US first reverses its violation.
- PoignardAzur 5y agoThe US behaviour in this is disgusting. They should be paying freaking reparations to Iran for breaking their end of the deal like this. (Not that there's any chance of that.) The fact that they have the power to bully the rest of the world into complying with their unilateral 180 decision is infuriating.
