Keep in mind that Russia and China agreed to the inclusion of the snapback provisions in writing several years ago.\u00a0 So for them to declare now it violates international law is invalid on its face, as they have already “made” international law by signing a treaty.\u00a0 See \u201cChina, Russia join Iran in rejecting European move to restore sanctions on Tehran,\u201d<\/a> Reuters, 9-1-25.\u00a0 That is “International Law 101.”\u00a0 The two powers agreed to the snapback provision several years ago to keep the West then from lowering the hammer on Iran, and now they continue in their quest to delay, delay, delay.<\/p>\n

Westerners often don\u2019t understand the Islamic Republic\u2019s motivations, according to the security official, because it requires understanding the Jihadist mentality in which hate and faith are the basis, rather than pragmatism or opportunism. \u201cPeople in the West think in a Western rational way and don\u2019t understand the fanatical ideology behind it,\u201d said the ex-official.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
