Trump Administration Renews Waivers On Iran Nuclear Work
|
[Jpost] The Trump administration on Thursday said it will allow Russian, Chinese and Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an companies to continue their work at Iranian nuclear sites, arguing that their presence makes it harder for Tehran to develop nuclear weapons.
But the United States also imposed sanctions on Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation (AEOI) and its chief, a move the Iranian entity's front man described as a sign of Washington's "despair."
The Trump administration, which in 2018 pulled out of the 2015 Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on Iran, will let the work go forward by issuing waivers to sanctions that bar non-US firms from dealing with the AEOI.
The waivers’ renewal for 60 days will allow nonproliferation work to continue at the Arak heavy-water research reactor, the Bushehr nuclear power plant, the Tehran Research Reactor and other nuclear cooperation initiatives.
Tehran has rejected Western assertions that it has sought to develop nuclear weapons, and on Thursday AEOI front man Behrouz Kamalvandi reaffirmed that Iran's civilian nuclear program will continue "full force."
"Imposing sanctions ... is a political game played by Washington. These sanctions have no value and are childish measures," Kamalvandi told Iran's Fars news agency.
Leading Republican senators and other Iran hawks had lobbied intensively to stop the latest waivers as US President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
seeks to exert more pressure on Iran after the two longtime foes came toward the brink of war earlier this month.
Washington in November terminated the sanctions waiver related to Iran’s Fordow nuclear plant after Tehran resumed uranium enrichment at the underground site.
"There was a difference of opinion between the US Treasury and State Department. The Treasury won," a Western diplomat said. "There is an appetite for more sanctions, so this was a surprise; but others argue that these waivers are vital to ensure nonproliferation."
MORE SANCTIONS
The United States on Thursday placed Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the AEOI, and the organization itself under US sanctions, Hook said.
The decision to sanction Salehi and the AEOI would have an impact on Iran's civilian nuclear program because it has operational control over the program, including purchasing parts for nuclear facilities.
Last week three Republican senators known to be close to Trump - Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Ted Cruz of Texas and Lindsey Graham
...soft-spoken senator from South Carolina, former best buddy of John Maverick McCain. Since McCain's demise, Graham has become more outspoken, more Republican and more of a supporter of President Trump. The speech he gave in support of Brett Kavanaugh was downright manly and really cheesed off the Dems...
of South Carolina - had called for the remaining civil nuclear waivers to be rescinded.
"Enough is enough," the senators and Republican US congresswoman Liz Cheney said in a joint statement.
The diplomat said the United States had likely opted to extend the Bushehr waiver because the Russian company targeted also provides nuclear fuel to US facilities, causing a potential sanctions headache for the administration.
Separately, Treasury announced that a new financial channel for humanitarian goods has been created with Switzerland to benefit medical patients in Iran. Hook said four shipments of cancer and transplant drugs have already been delivered to Iran.
“Iranian cancer and transplant patients are receiving treatments through this channel, which is subject to strict due diligence measures to avoid misuse by the Iranian regime,” Treasury said in a statement.
