Iran Scraps Nuke Deal After US Reinstates Sanctions—Who's Surprised?
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced today their cooperation deal with the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, is now 'void.' This comes just three weeks after Iran explicitly warned they would scrap the agreement if Western powers reinstated UN sanctions—which, of course, they did last month. This isn't some sudden, unprovoked rogue action; it's the entirely predictable consequence of a
specific policy choice. The media narrative often frames these events in a vacuum, ignoring the historical pattern of escalating pressure, followed by predictable reactions. One might wonder why Iran would continue to cooperate with oversight when the international agreements underpinning that cooperation are unilaterally dismantled. How many times can a deal be broken by one side before the other
stops pretending it exists?
