Iran Ends Inspections After 'Rebuke' by West That Killed JCPOA
Bloomberg dutifully informs us Iran has officially ended UN nuclear inspections after a 'Western rebuke' (read: Resolution for which the U.S. and its allies lobbied aggressively). This comes after years of Iran adhering to the 2015 JCPOA agreement—an agreement the U.S. unilaterally abandoned in 2018, imposing crippling sanctions that starved their economy, prompting Iran to gradually reduce its
commitments. Now, the surprise face emoji Western powers are shocked Iran isn't playing nice after they blew up the game board. One might wonder if 'international law' only applies when it's convenient for Washington and its allies, or if consistently punishing compliance while rewarding belligerence (See: Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal, uninspected for decades) might just, you know,
incentivize non-cooperation. The hypocrisy would be hilarious if it wasn't so predictably disastrous.
