After thanking China and Russia on the spot, Iran resolutely issued three notices. This Middle Eastern country, which has been hesitant and looking forward to it, will finally make a decision with the West?
Early in the morning of the 27th Beijing time, the results of a vote in the UN Security Council shocked the international community, the draft resolution proposed by China-Russia to extend the period of exemption from Iran sanctions, The result was "aborted" with 4 votes in favor, 9 votes against, and 2 abstentions.
Despite the bad results, Iran’s foreign ministers remained on behalf of members of the United Nations, thanking China and Russia for their choice to stand on the right side of history.
Immediately afterwards, Iran threw out heavy news-recalling its ambassadors to Britain, France and Germany.
What signal does this series of actions send?
Has Iran not always reserved diplomatic space for Europe, and why has it suddenly cleared its borders with the West in the moment the sanctions were imposed?
The answer lies in a series of recent reactions from Iran.
On September 20, Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced that it would suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
On September 27, three recall notices were issued simultaneously. In just one week, two key moves.
It must be said that these two moves each have profound meaning.
The suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency is a direct response to the “breach of rules.”
In accordance with the provisions of the Iran nuclear agreement, before launching the "rapid resumption of sanctions" mechanism, the "dispute resolution mechanism" must be consulted.
But Britain, France and Germany skipped this step directly on August 28th and unilaterally informed the Security Council to start the sanctions procedure.
Iran has just reached a verification agreement on September 9 with the International Atomic Energy Agency, where Europe moves the “killing machine”.
Recalling the ambassadors of the three countries is more accurately targeting Europe’s “soft ribs.”
Iran’s Islamic Republic news agency clearly said the recall was due to the three countries’ “abuse of dispute resolution mechanisms.”
It should be known that Britain, France and Germany have always lived as "supporters of the Iranian nuclear agreement", but this time they are completely opposed to Iran.
Iran’s way of recalling its ambassadors to tear their disguise is to accuse them of speaking out and talking about cooperation, but in fact to assist in the murder.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Europe's "two-faced" style has long been revealed.
On the one hand, Germany relies on Iranian imports for 30% of its natural gas, cutting off Iran's supply, and the domestic energy gap cannot be filled at all; On the other hand, they dare not disobey the United States. After all, alliance is the "political correctness" of European diplomacy.
This kind of "tightrope walking" that swings from side to side eventually stumbled. They thought Iran would swallow its anger, but forgot that Iran had been cornered.
So where does Iran's confidence come from?
The answer is clear: Iran has never been alone.
Earlier, China, Russia and Iran held trilateral talks in Beijing and explicitly opposed unilateral sanctions.
Immediately afterwards, the three countries' joint military exercise "Safety Belt - 2025" took place in the Persian Gulf, with a force of 1,20,000 troops, which is the hardest background.
When the Security Council voted, China and Russia firmly voted in favor. Even if the draft did not pass, Iran saw clear support. With this strength, Iran naturally dares to say "no" to Europe.
Now looking at the local situation, Iran's counterattack has triggered a chain reaction, and crude oil futures prices have begun to show a fluctuating upward trend. This affects not only the Middle East, but also the world's crude oil markets.
What is even more worrying is the direction of the nuclear issue.
Iran has spoken out, not excluding withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
If that is true, the IAEA’s inspections will end completely, and the Middle East will likely fall into the whirlwind of a “nuclear race.”
Ironically, the situation in Europe itself.
The loss of Iranian diplomatic channels, the energy issue is at the forefront.
Germany has had to restart two coal-fired power plants, and the promised "green transformation" has instantly become a joke.
The problem of refugees is even more difficult. Iran has always been an important receiving country of refugees in the Middle East. If there is domestic turmoil in Iran, a new wave of refugees will inevitably flock to Europe.
Did Europe really think about these consequences when it initiated sanctions?
This reminds people of the words of Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ilwani,"The door of diplomacy has not been closed." But Europe has pushed this door closer and closer with its own hands.
Speaking of Iran and Europe before, we can also think of the difficult compromise in the negotiation of the nuclear agreement, think of the mutual dependence of the two sides in the economic and trade sphere.
Eventually, Europe made a fatal mistake: it overestimated America’s “righteousness” and underestimated Iran’s determination.
The United States 'own domestic inflation rate continues to rise, and its military spending has exceeded it. It has no energy to launch new military operations and just uses Europe as a pawn.
But Europe is willing to be this "horse predecessor", eventually rejected by Iran, and can only eat yellow lin.
This also shows that Iran’s current choice is actually forced out.
Domestic economic development is difficult, oil exports are difficult, and a series of sanctions imposed by the United States are making life increasingly difficult for ordinary people. Under internal and external pressure, giving in will only become more passive, and only by countering can we gain the initiative.
So it’s not Iran’s “decision” in a critical moment, but its “survival”.
Finally, I would like to say that Europe used to regard itself as a "rule-maker", but this time it broke the rules with its own hands; it kept saying that it would maintain peace, but it pushed the region to the brink of war.
Iran is telling the world in the most direct way: it is possible to speak rationally, but it is never impossible to bully people.
Now, the game is far from over.Will Europe turn back?What will the US do?Will Iran have a new counterattack?The answers to these questions will determine the future of the Middle East.
