On the anniversary of the US withdrawal from the agreement on a Joint comprehensive plan of action on Iran’s nuclear program, U.S. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo has compared the Iranian authorities with the Nazis.
"Seventy-five years ago, the United States and our allies acted together to rid the world of Nazis and their hateful ideology. Today we face serious threats to regional peace from another criminal regime, and we again urge the international community to join us in stopping the world’s largest sponsor of anti-Semitism", – said in a statement released by the state Department.
According to him, two years after the US withdrawal from the agreement the Americans are safer, and the middle East in a more peaceful condition than if the US remained part of the agreement.
Pompeo reiterated that Washington is using all diplomatic tools to achieve an extension of the arms embargo against Iran, which expires in October.
Iran and the "six" international negotiators in July 2015 have reached a historic agreement on the settlement of the longstanding problem of the Iranian atom. Months of negotiations concluded with the adoption of a joint comprehensive plan of action (SVPD), which is completely removed from Iran’s previously imposed economic and financial sanctions by the UN security Council, US and EU.
The agreement in particular provided that the arms embargo will be lifted on Iran within 5 years, the supply of arms possible before, but only with the permission of the UN security Council. The deal in its original form lived for three years: in may 2018, the United States announced its unilateral withdrawal from her and the restoration of tougher sanctions against Tehran.
