Israel says it will give up next option if Iran doesn't change course

Such may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. Speaking at a join press conference in Washington with Israeli and Emirati counter parts, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said: We are prepared to give up next option if Iran doesn t change course, and these consultations with our allies and partners are part of that. Israel and the United Arab Emirates are not signatory members of the JCPOA.

Adding to the statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said: I want to start by repeating what the Secretary of State said just yesterday. If diplomacy fails, then there will be other options available. And I think everybody understands here, in Israel, in the Emirates, and in Tehran what it is that we mean. He added: Israel reserves the right to act at any given moment, in any way. Robert Malley, US special envoy on Iran, said: We will be prepared to adjust to a different reality in which we have to deal with all options to address Iran s nuclear program if it s not prepared to come back into the constraints of 2016. But there is a critical flaw in the argument led by the US, and those who are not privy to the accord. Iran was not the party that left the agreement, it was the United States who pulled when former President Donald Trump issued an executive order to do so, together with many other agreements the US had withdrawn hastily. In addition, Trump has always said that it would return and adhere to the previous conditions of the JCPOA agreed in 2016 but based on all parties returning to such terms and conditions for the USA, that means lifting all sanctions placed on Iran. Saeed Khatibzadeh, a spokesperson of Iran's Foreign Ministry, said during an interview with Le Monde newspaper in Paris: This is what was said the day the new Iranian Government came to power. For two things to take into account. Iran has considered whether to resume negotiations and we have come to the conclusion that we will likely resume them. The spokesperson went on to say: Then there is the second phase, which involves the evaluation of all the negotiations that have already been conducted to clarify all the dimensions before entering into a serious and effective dialogue. As soon as this reassessment takes place, we will not waste an hour before arriving in Vienna. For Iran, the behaviour of the United States under Donald Trump left yet another reason for trust to be lost when it comes to American promises. In this story, the United States is the party that left the nuclear deal, the party that caused unilateral sanctions, caused suffering to the Iranian people and affected billions in losses to the Iranian economy. The United States even punished those of its partners who wanted to trade with Iran, said Mr Khatibzadeh. With the sanctions causing severe inflation in Iran, and stemming the ability to pay international partners in order to obtain much needed vaccines for the COVID -19 pandemic, the people of Iran have been the ultimate victims of American soft power with the UAE and Israel having no claim in the deal, issuing damaging statements as mentioned by Yair Lapid only prove that it is not Iran who has set out to stall or ruin talks through diplomacy.

How would another conflict in the Middle East be welcomed on the international stage by US, Israel or any other country if talks failed? Already, a humiliating retreat by the US and its allies left Afghanistan and Iraq with 20 years of debt and lost lives, and it is unlikely that anyone would want to see this repeated.
