Tehran has reminded the world that in less than two weeks it could renounce more commitments to the atomic pact. On July 7, the 60-day deadline that President Hasan Rohani gave last May expires, so that the EU, which signed the nuclear agreement, would make it possible to operate. Blaming Brussels for "inaction," the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkani, has warned on Tuesday that his country is willing to go ahead with the countdown.
According to the semi-official Fars, Shamkani has said that countries "that have confused Iranian patience with weakness and inaction" will realize that "Iran's reaction to the disappointing political attempts to restrict the inalienable rights of the Iranian people is not far much of his response to the violation of his air borders by the American drone "knocked down.
The EU is caught in the web of sanctions US, prohibiting financial transactions with the country importing oil, the main source of wealth or Iranian - exploitation of its second industry, the automobile. The Iranian population has been seriously affected in matters such as the purchase of medicines or the loss of purchasing power. Iranian officials have criticized the EU for demanding that they continue to comply with their part of the agreement, without resolving how to comply with the European one.
The reminder of Shamkani has come almost at the same time of a new round of tweets from the US president. "Unfortunately, what they do understand is strength and power," he has tweeted. "Attack by Iran on any American will be met with a great and overwhelming force - in some areas, overwhelming will mean destruction!" He added, in response to a speech, which Rohani delivered this Tuesday morning, in the which has called the White House "mentally retarded."
His tenant has tried, in the last month, to undertake an unexplainable carrot and stick strategy for most observers. A series of attacks on oil tankers near the crucial Strait of Hormuz , of which the US accuses Iranian forces, was followed by the Iranian downing of a US spy drone in the south of the country. Iran blamed him for violating his airspace and the US denied it categorically. Trump, in response, ordered an attack on Iranian soil, but backed off at the last minute .
At the same time, Donald Trump and his entourage, including the falcon John Bolton , have offered dialogue to Iran, sometimes "without preconditions." The president has said that "we do not want them to manufacture the nuclear bomb", something that already guaranteed the 2015 agreement, from which he withdrew ; Other times, the US has tried to extend the atomic pact to commit Iran to renounce its ballistic missile program, something that Tehran denies, claiming that they are crucial to defend themselves.
This disparity of positions, which began with the US withdrawal from the atomic pact, has only increased Iran's distrust. This was reflected by the Iranian Supreme Leader when, on June 13, he refused to respond to the US proposal for negotiation that was conveyed to him by the Japanese Prime Minister . Ali Khamenei is the one who has the last word on State issues.
In another turn that has raised eyebrows, Trump decided on Monday to respond to this refusal by punishing Khamenei and could soon do the same with the Foreign Minister, Mohamed Yavad Zarif, in charge of conducting any negotiations. "Call to negotiate, if you tell the truth, then why do we simultaneously sanction our foreign minister?" Rohani has thrown Trump in his face on Tuesday.
