US of waging ‘psychological war’ against Iran
Iranian FM says the US was targeting Iran and its business partners but Washington would not achieve its goals.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has accused the United States of waging a “psychological war” against Tehran and its business partners.
US sanctions were re-imposed on August 7, just months after US President Donald Trump withdrew from the multilateral Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal.
“[America’s] focus is on a psychological war against Iran and its business partners,” Javad Zarif said in comments reported on Sunday by the Iranian Tasnim news agency.

The nuclear agreement, which was implemented in 2016, would see Iran reduce its capacity to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for limited sanctions relief.
Its signatories included the US, the European Union (EU), several world powers, and Iran. At the time, it was thought to be one of former US President Barack Obama’s biggest diplomatic achievements.
But despite the US withdrawal, other parties to the accord are trying to find ways to save the agreement.
The EU has vowed to protect companies dealing with Iran and has urged Iran to continue keeping its side of the bargain.
Trump wants a broader deal, which addresses issues such as Iran’s missile programme and its involvement in several Middle Eastern conflicts, such as in Syria and Yemen.
Trump’s decision to withdraw from the accord has hurt the US, said Zarif, according to the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA).
“From the time that Trump announced the withdrawal from the nuclear deal, America has not been able to reach its goals,” said Zarif.
Iran’s foreign minister also said the nuclear deal has led to political conflict within Iran.
“There are some in the country who, instead of laying the groundwork for using the opportunities presented by the nuclear deal, chose a political fight. And this political fight led to despair and disappointment.”
Hardline critics of the deal have lashed out at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani after the US’s withdrawal, claiming the agreement was a form of capitulation.

“Russia’s economy is actually quite small. Russia’s GDP in 2016 was half the size of California.”
Not a smart analogy, Sum. If California was a country, it would rank in the top 10 largest world economies. California’s GDP is larger than France and India and is comparable to the UK.
Russia ranks #12 in the world, slightly larger than Australia.

Anon, it is obvious. The personalities match and when one is not posting, the other is. The comments/putdowns match the delusions/arrogance of Davy/Mm.
What a boring life they must have to spend so much time and thought on sock puppets, making notes, stalking, etc.. Pure insanity.
BTW: They posted a pic of Davy’s farm on this site’s article. Take a look.

Billy, I am ignoring you for the most part these days so I will let your drivel role down your chin. You really are lonely old man. Your comments are boring and redundant and reflect an old man in his waning years of intellectual abilities.

Sum “EU has forgotten who saved their asses in WW1 and WW2 …”
I completely agree. Europe owes a lot to RUSSIA and they are being quite treasonous and ungrateful in their behavior. I hope Russians remember how the Europeans are treating them the next time they need help.

“You don’t receive news anymore from reporters or journalists. It is a collage of sensationalism coupled with reality TV shows, all sans morals or any form or semblance of decency…

With all of this in consideration, though, the threat of a nuclear war is real, and (as I’ve mentioned in the past) a first strike would be precipitated by an EMP attack….
The Russians and the Chinese have a major joint military exercise scheduled to commence on 9/11/18, in which for the first time drills will be conducted to include responses to nuclear attack.” – Jeremiah Johnson
The chance of a nuclear war is real. It only one mistake or bad decision and minutes of time…
