Oorlog Iran #129 The Art of Defeat

quote:

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has accused the US of breaching Article 10 of the MoU by cancelling a temporary waiver on sanctions targeting Iranian oil sales.

In a statement, the ministry condemned the US Treasury’s move, calling it a “clear violation” of the memorandum signed on June 18.

It said the decision, taken less than 20 days after the signing of the memorandum, showed “bad faith” and proved that the US administration could not be trusted.

The ministry also accused Washington of repeatedly violating parts of the memorandum, both directly and indirectly through what it described as Israeli actions against Lebanon.

Ik snap Iran wel. Ze willen het zo lang traineren en zoveel schade aanrichten dat men zich de volgende keer wel bedenkt voor dat men een aanval op Iran gaat uitvoeren. Dat is volstrekt rationeel. Het kost ze zelf ook schade, het is loose-loose, maar deze schade moeten ze slikken om in de toekomst gevrijwaard te zijn.

Nee, die wilden ook escaleren en het liefst een burgeroorlog daar, net als in Irak, Syrie, Libie etc. Zodat een land compleet ontwricht en jarenlang buiten spel staat.

Iran has neither denied nor confirmed accusations that it carried out recent attacks near the Strait of Hormuz.

Instead, Tehran is putting the emphasis on its control and authority over the waterway. Its Foreign Ministry spokesperson called the accusations questionable and said that, under the memorandum of understanding, Iran has the right to manage the Strait of Hormuz.

He also called on regional countries to refrain from any action that goes against the provisions of the memorandum.

Iran has stressed the need for coordination with Tehran by ships and vessels transiting through routes predefined by the Iranian side.

That is something the IRGC has said since it announced measures over the Strait of Hormuz, saying any passage should be coordinated with Iran.

En maar huilen om de palestijnse "burgers" maar wanneer Iran civiele schepen aanvalt dan is alles ineens gerechtvaardigd.

Bahrain has joined the chorus of condemnations in the region, slamming what it said were Iranian attacks on Saudi and Qatari oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Manama called the incidents a “grave violation of international law” and a threat to maritime security and global energy supplies.

The Bahraini Foreign Ministry expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and urged the international community to take action to protect freedom of navigation and prevent further incidents in the strategic waterway.
