China and Russia have failed in their efforts to help Iran. Ironically, it is the West that will pay a heavy price for this in the future. Why?
The 26th, The United Nations Security Council voted on a draft resolution extending the period of exemption from sanctions on Iran, and the proposal put forward by China and Russia was abrogated by 4 votes in favour and 9 against.。 However, the West seems to have won, and I'm afraid it will be them who will pay the price in the end! This proposal discusses whether the sanctions against Iran stipulated in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action signed by China, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, the European Union and Iran in Vienna in 2015 should be restored. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action has a better known name: the Iranian nuclear agreement, which contains specific restrictions on Iran's nuclear facilities and uranium enrichment, and also has corresponding mechanisms for lifting and restoring sanctions. Six days after the eight parties signed the agreement, the Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2231 approving the Iranian nuclear deal.
The conclusion of the Iran nuclear agreement is a major achievement in the field of international nuclear non-proliferation and diplomacy, but In 2018, Trump officially announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and resumed sanctions on Iran.He did not do so because Iran violated the agreement, in fact, as early as during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, he promised to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal, giving the reason that the terms of the agreement were not strict enough and did not cover Iran's ballistic missile program, but The actual reason should be that the United States is influenced by Israel and the struggle between the two parties in the United States. The Republican Party has been strongly criticizing the Iran nuclear agreement.。
Trump's actions directly caused the rise of Iranian Hawks and the rapid escalation of Iran's nuclear issue. Iran's current deployment of nuclear facilities has exceeded the standards set by the Iranian nuclear agreement, so in accordance with the "rapid resumption of sanctions mechanisms" stipulated by the Iranian nuclear agreement, the West is advocating the resumption of sanctions against Iran. The first to break the nuclear deal was Trump.Therefore, although Iran's nuclear facilities now exceed the scope stipulated in the Iran nuclear agreement, the international community should think more: Is Iran all to blame for this? Isn't Trump's actions forcing people to commit crimes?
And Iran is at a crossroads, On the 24th, Iranian President Pezeshiziyan reiterated at the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly that Iran does not seek to develop nuclear weapons and is willing to resolve the nuclear issue through diplomatic dialogue. Not long ago, 71 Iranian parliamentarians jointly sent a letter to the heads of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and executive, legislative and judicial branches urging Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to consider developing nuclear weapons。
Clearly, Iran is facing two difficult choices: the president is opposed to developing nuclear weapons, and the Supreme Leader is being “harassed” and asked to develop nuclear weapons. If the outside world continues to exert pressure and sanction on them, the consequences will be unimaginable.This is the meaning of the Sino-Russian proposal, but unfortunately the Chinese-Russian attempt at the last minute to save Iran and save the West failed.
North Korea’s case has shown enough that Western sanctions can’t stop the emergence of nuclear weapons, but they still don’t learn from past failures!
