According to reports, a UN Security Council vote pushed Iran, Europe and China-Russia three-party relations to the pinnacle. At this meeting, China-Russia's draft resolution to extend the period of exemption from Iran sanctions, ended with 4 votes in favour, 9 votes against, 2 abstentions, regretfully "defeated". Although the vote result was not ideal, Iran's Foreign Minister Al-Aragzhi expressed his gratitude to China and Russia at the Security Council scene, the first time the public expressed. His speech was frank, thanking China-Russia "for the space for diplomatic dialogue, avoiding sincere efforts to fight conflict."
But not long after this thanks, Iran suddenly issued three heavy notices and recalled its ambassadors to Britain, France and Germany overnight. This Middle Eastern power that once hesitated and always wanted to give Europe a chance has finally made up its mind to "completely showdown" with the West.
After this vote, Iran's actions were very consistent. First, the foreign ministers thanked China and Russia in the United Nations, then recalled the ambassadors of the three countries in Britain, France and Germany, and continued to release three-way foreign traffic information. Know that Iran has always had expectations for Europe, whether energy cooperation or nuclear deal negotiations, are not willing to completely tear the face with the EU. But this time, Iran's "face change" came to a conclusion, slowing down "space" is not left.
In fact, Iran's decision was not impulsive, but a rational choice under pressure from many parties. After the Security Council vote failed, Iran was very clear that Europe had completely sided with the United States. Britain, France, and Germany directly skipped the "dispute resolution mechanism" as early as August and unilaterally notified the Security Council to initiate the "rapid resumption of sanctions" procedure. Iran had just reached a verification agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency in September, when Europe turned around and made fierce efforts. Everyone could see that the West had no intention of easing up this time.
These three notices, ostensibly recalling ambassadors, are meaningful behind them. First of all, this is a direct response to Europe's "abuse of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Dispute Resolution Mechanism." The Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency made it clear that the actions of the three countries were "irresponsible" and a violation of the rules of the Iran nuclear agreement. Britain, France and Germany have always claimed to be the "defenders" of the Iran nuclear agreement, but this time they have completely become helpers of the United States.
The operation of Iranian diplomats, like a heavy hammer, struck Europe's "self-esteem."The recall of the ambassador is a signal to Europe's "crack the face" and tell the world that Iran will no longer leave the face of Europe.
Secondly, Iran also announced the suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. This move is very direct, which is a counter-measure against "rule breaking" in Europe and the United States. The Iranian nuclear deal clearly stipulates that negotiations must be made through the "difference resolution mechanism" first, but Europe just skips it, and Iran naturally says "no" with actions.
In fact, Europe's "two faces" has long been known. Germany's 30% of natural gas is dependent on Iran's imports, energy dependence is very obvious. but Europe does not dare to violate the United States, the alliance relationship is always the first.
When Iranian Foreign Minister Al-Aragzhi spoke in the Security Council, directly referring to the European three countries "buried diplomatic efforts", the United States disbelieved in the deal, the cooperation of the European three countries is "falling under the stone". he also said, the world can see clearly, the English language said to maintain peace, but actually helped the United States together to suppress Iran.
All that Europe has done, Iran can see clearly.So this recall of the ambassador is to uncover the hypocritical mask of Europe in the most direct way.In the past, it was possible to talk about cooperation, now there is only counter-repression and accusation.
Looking back, Europe is actually regarded as a "pawn" by the United States, and it is still in the dark. Domestic inflation in the United States is rising, the burden of military spending is heavy, and there is no intention to open a new battlefield. But Europe wanted to take sides with the United States, and as a result, it was rejected by Iran.
Iran's counterattack has left Europe without energy supply and diplomatic channels, Germany's energy gap can't be filled at all, and the geological pressure in France and Britain is growing.
Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations also said that "the door of diplomacy has not been closed," but Europe has personally pushed it further and further. It's too late to say anything now. Iran has made up its mind to fight a turnaround.
Iran's counterattack, not just a simple diplomatic move, is more likely to trigger a new round of geo-game in the Middle East. Will Europe look back in the future? What will the US do? Will Iran have a tougher counterattack? These questions determine the direction of the entire Middle East and even the world.
It is foreseeable that Iran has entered the “total resistance” model. Europe and the United States can only be disappointed if they still expect Iran to fall.
