DW Finds Iran No Longer Bound by Deal, Thanks Washington
The article frames Iran's pronouncement as a new challenge, ignoring that the United States, under the Trump administration, unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018. This pivotal event, which fundamentally undermined the agreement, made the deal effectively null and void for Iran. One might wonder why Iran would continue to adhere to terms when the other signatory (and major world power)
had already bolted, imposing crippling sanctions. This 'news' isn't really news; it's the inevitable outcome of US foreign policy. The hypocrisy is stunning: Washington breaks the deal, then expresses shock and outrage when Iran ceases to uphold its end of a defunct agreement. It's like breaking up with someone, setting their house on fire, and then complaining when they don't invite you to
Thanksgiving. How many times will the media present these predictable effects as fresh Iranian provocations, neatly severing them from their American causes?
