A view from the peanut gallery in the U.S.

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - Few outside Iran’s government probably know exactly what the country’s leaders are primed to focus on around the alleged upcoming resumption of the JCPOA negotiations in Vienna. But a couple smart commentators outside Iran in the Middle East have claimed this past week that Iran will focus almost exclusively on trying to get the U.S. sanctions lifted so that it can again resume exporting oil widely. At first glance this suggests that Iran is not going to renegotiate the JCPOA, and this may be concerning but it’s not – because the nuclear deal of 2015…

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The Biden administration, unlike former US presidents, who also took over the leadership and hegemony of the United States at the inauguration, is taking over America from Trump that its world power has waned through a weakened foreign policy, its Covid effected economy is struggling to stand on its own two feet and democracy has stopped there. What we are witnessing in the United States these days is a political disgrace and a fundamental weakness in the foundation and structure of American democracy, which in the 2020 election confiscated 160 million American votes in the…

The U.S. and allies have done little but inflamed West Asia

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - Heiko Maas, Mike Pompeo, and people like them with their rabid policy announcements and ignorant fantasies try to give the impression of aiming for something positive and calming to a world and especially to a West Asia wracked by discord, but in fact they and their kind are doing just the opposite. “Inflaming” might be the best word for what they do and have long done. Heiko Maas, Germany’s foreign minister, must be crazy, literally. Or just a blind twit, like so many others in the “Western” establishment of lily-white bigots, racists and Christian imperialists. …

Biden wants to recover the Iranian nuclear deal (JCPOA) but it’s not that simple

BY:  Paolo Mauri Translated BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - In the electoral program of Joe Biden, president-elect (for now) of the United States, there is the desire to recover the Iranian nuclear deal, the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) wanted by Barack Obama in 2015 and rejected by Donald Trump in May 2018. The treaty was aimed at ensuring that Iranian nuclear development was solely and exclusively aimed at peaceful ends, thus allowing the gradual withdrawal of international sanctions that have almost strangled the country's economy. However, for the United States, re-entering the stretch may not be so simple…

The Flawed U.S. Effort to Revive Iran Sanctions

BY: David J. Scheffer PEJOURNAL - The United States has announced the reimposition of international sanctions against Iran that had been lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The Donald J. Trump administration says the move is essential to prevent Iran from developing nuclear arms, and an executive order issued on September 21 imposed new sanctions on over two dozen…
