Iran, EU Aiming to Keep the Nuclear Deal Alive
- Will Europe enforce US sanctions on Iran? If they do, all the talk about continuing with the JCPOA is Baloney. If they tell America to “go jump into the lake”, it is the end of US hegemony over Europe. IMO, a ‘fatal’ blow. It also means the western Illuminati’s plan of a limited nuclear WW3 in eastern Europe, US-NATO vs Russia is unlikely to be implemented.
– - The whole shenanigan over the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal, is a setup for a ‘Covenant with many’ countries ie. a peace agreement with many countries. Will it be a ‘Covenant of 1 week’, peace treaty of 7 years, Daniel’s prophecy?

Brussels and Tehran want to ensure the nuclear deal’s survival, despite Washington’s withdrawal. What will delegates be discussing at their meeting with Iran’s foreign minister? DW’s Bernd Riegert reports.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will have racked up plenty of air miles by the time he lands in Brussels on Tuesday evening. From Tehran, he first flew to Beijing and Moscow, before heading to the Belgian capital to meet with the other six negotiating parties about the continuation of the 2015 deal aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program.

Negotiating party number eight — the United States — announced its withdrawal from the accord last week. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the three foreign ministers of European Union negotiating parties France, Germany and the UK, have already made it clear that they want to save the deal, which they say is working. Here are the most important problems that will be up for discussion in Brussels:
–
Deadlines
Iran is demanding guarantees from the signatories that the nuclear deal will formally remain in place, even without the US. Iran wants answers within 60 days; the EU is asking for 90 days. “We will have to talk about whether we can really make progress with such deadlines at the moment,” said Germany’s Europe minister, Michael Roth. The US has threatened to impose sanctions on European companies that do business with Iran within 90 to 180 days.
–
Sanctions
Iran is demanding some form of compensation from the other signatories, as soon as US sanctions take effect. Since US President Donald Trump has vowed the “strongest” form of economic sanctions, it’s not yet clear what kind of sums the parties are likely to be discussing. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has said that there need to be economic incentives for Iran to remain in the deal.
–
Protection from secondary sanctions
The US also wants to punish companies and countries that continue to cooperate with Iran. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire has said that his country will create a mechanism to protect its own companies. Like Le Maire, the EU also appears to be working on such protective measures. But German Foreign Minister Maas has been more reticent so far, saying only that it will be difficult to provide full protection for Berlin’s economic interests in Iran. Luxembourg’s foreign minister, Jean Asselborn, has suggested a new European trade license with Iran. He also says there must be a way to continue to import oil from Iran. “I don’t see anything illegal in that,” he said during an interview with German radio broadcaster Deutschlandfunk. “It’s not simply up to the Americans to decide that we can’t do that anymore.”

- Is this coming new Iranian Nuclear Deal: Peace Treaty, Daniel’s ‘Covenant of 1 Week’? Why do I have my 10 pairs of eyeballs on this JCPOA, Iran nuclear deal? The EU driven by Macron is discussing a revised Iran nuclear deal but without USA participation. The current deal expires in 2025 ie. about 7 years (according to Trump see below). Will the revised deal, which is based on the existing deal, still keep the 2025 expiry? If so, it definitely can coincide with the Biblical Book of Daniel’s prophecy of ‘Covenant of 1 week’ ie. 7 Biblical years. A biblical year is 360 days not 365 days. (Note: JCPOA ‘Termination Day’ is in Oct 2025)
- The revised deal is quite obviously a PEACE Treaty.

Iran Sanctions – JCPOA in the Balance
What are the “Terrible Flaws” That President Trump Sees?
President Trumps opposes a number of aspects of the JCPOA. One is that the obligations it imposes on Iran relate only to its nuclear programme, but not on its “other malign activities”2 (IRGC funding, cyber aggression, maritime aggression, human rights violations, destabilising activity in the Middle East); a second is that the JCPOA does not consider long-range missile development as part of a nuclear weapons programme; a third is that the JCPOA has an expiry date (on Termination Day, in 2025).
