Europe sends medical gear to Iran in first sanction-bypass deal
[IsraelTimes] European nations have delivered medical goods to 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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in the first transaction under the Instex mechanism set up to evade American sanctions on Tehran, the German foreign ministry says.

"La Belle France, Germany and the United Kingdom confirm that Instex has successfully concluded its first transaction, facilitating the export of medical goods from Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
to Iran. These goods are now in Iran," the ministry says in a statement.

The first successful transaction comes over a year after Britannia, La Belle France and Germany announced the creation of Instex, months that have been marked by Iranian chafing against European delay.

"Now the first transaction is complete, Instex and its Iranian counterpart STFI will work on more transactions and enhancing the mechanism," Berlin says.

Britannia, La Belle France and Germany were among a list of countries that Iran reported receiving medical aid from earlier this month as it battles a serious outbreak of the novel coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...

#1 So, they didn't have medical supplies for Italy, but they have them for Iran?

#2 Ladies and gentlemen, our "staunch allies" in Europe.

Supposedly, the ruinous cost of defending Europe gives us a say in their foreign relations. Obviously that's a lie. So what are we getting for our profligate spending? Nothing. Just a logistics hub that enables endless wars in the Middle East for the profit of our military-industrial complex.

USA out of NATO. Cut those bastards off at the knees. Put Lockheed Martin and all the others in bankruptcy instead of our small businesses. America first!

#3 Looks like the Foreigner office needs a thorough cull of chaff.

#4 Sanctions never bar medical and humanitarian supplies.

#5 Wait until non-humanitarian goods are shipped and the US Treasury denies all dollar clearing to the banks dealing with Instex.
