In the dispute over the future of the nuclear deal with Iran exacerbated the American government the sound, compared to Germany and its European partners. “Hurt feelings about the withdrawal of the United States from the nuclear deal, for me, are no excuse for the arming of terrorists,” said the American Ambassador to the UN, Kelly Craft, in an Interview with the German press Agency. The statements increase the security Council, the pressure on Berlin in the face of a current vote in the UN. There is a decision on an American initiative to renew the arms embargo against Iran.
the Background is the expiry of the current embargo in October. Its extension support in addition to the United States, in principle, also in Germany, France and the UK – but the draft presented to the Americans a number of members of the UN security Council to reject, among other things, because of the established unlimited duration of the embargo. In the EU, and a separate ban on the sale of weapons to Iran until 2023 applies meanwhile.
The American foray is seen as a prelude of the Trump government to lift the nuclear deal completely off the hinges. Because if the design of the weapons-fail Embargo, the threat that could trigger the Americans to the so-called Snapback mechanism: A way for the States to the nuclear deal, Iranian violations, denounce, and finally, in order to achieve reinstatement of international sanctions prior to the agreement – without that, this could be prevented by a Veto from other members. This could mean according to the diplomat, the final Out of the historic agreement by 2015.
patience of the American government comes to an end
“I hope that we will have to operate before the release of the Snapbacks to come to some kind of compromise can, I may submit to the Minister of foreign Affairs and the President”, said Ambassador of Craft and emphasized with a view on Germany, France and the UK that there is still room for negotiations. So far, however, the European member countries of the agreement have told you again and again. “My patience comes to an end, to be quite honest.” If there is no solution, let think will make you “alone”, says Craft.
It is controversial whether the United States is entitled to Trigger the Snapback, because the Trump-government was dropped out of the 2018 unilaterally from the Deal. The Americans, however, are of the opinion that it is sufficient that they are referred to as member state in the UN Resolution, which translates to the atomic energy agreement in the international law.
The UN-veto powers-the United States, China, Russia, France and Britain plus Germany and Iran had agreed in 2015 in Vienna on the agreement, the Tehran of the peaceful use of nuclear power allowed, but the development of nuclear weapons is denied. It turned the Iranian nuclear industry under control, and said the removal of Western economic sanctions. US President, Donald Trump for years has been against the nuclear deal – to give him the hat for his campaign, the maximum pressure on Tehran is likely to fit well.
