‘The United States should return to its obligations under the JCPOA,’ DNC asserts in new document indicating party will reverse Trump’s withdrawal should it come to power in 2020

ed note–again, not that it should need reminding, but Trump’s enemies in the Democrat-controlled HoR would not engage in such maneuvers unless it met with the support of Israel and Netanyahu ahead of time.

The JCPOA was not ‘friendly’ to Iran. By its very design, it was a Zionist Trojan Horse the intent of which was to utilize the lifting of economic sanctions against the IRI as the enabling mechanism by which the Deep State viper could then sink its poisonous fangs into Iran’s otherwise protected political, financial, and cultural infrastructure. By weaponizing economic incentives, demands would then be placed upon Iran to make ‘adjustments,’ such as integration with the IMF and World Bank, allowing western media a legal entryway into the minds of the Iranian people, the complete overhaul (evisceration) of Iran’s intelligence and internal security apparatus, and thus via these ‘protocols’, paving the way for the eventual ‘Persian Spring’ that would result in the destruction of those gains made in the aftermath of Iran’s 1979 Revolution.

The Democratic National Committee passed a resolution last week calling on the US to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal, a sign that the party’s 2020 presidential candidates will run on returning America to the landmark pact from which US President Donald Trump withdrew.

At the February 16 meeting in Washington, DC, the DNC adopted a motion solidifying the party’s position that US should rejoin the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the deal is formally known, according to a text of the resolution obtained by The Times of Israel.

“The United States should return to its obligations under the JCPOA and utilize multilateral and bilateral diplomacy to achieve political solutions to remaining challenges regarding Iran,” the document says.

Trump unilaterally pulled the United States out of the deal last May and renewed sanctions on the Islamic Republic, all with the intention, he said, to negotiate a new deal that would address three of his concerns: ending the sunset clauses that allow certain restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program to expire; banning Iran’s capacity to test ballistic missiles; and allowing international inspectors full access to Iran’s military sites.

The other parties to the deal — England, France, Germany, Russia, China and Iran — have all maintained the agreement in spite of the United States walking out.

The agreement, forged under former US president Barack Obama, was struck in July 2015 and implemented in January 2016.

The DNC resolution is an early indication as the 2020 campaign ramps up, that if a Democrat were to win the White House, he or she may bring the United States back into the accord.

Virtually all of the Senate Democrats who have already declared their candidacy — Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, California Senator Kamala Harris, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar — opposed Trump’s decision to remove America from the deal.

The DNC resolution says that the Iran deal was working as intended to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

“The JCPOA has delivered substantial nonproliferation benefits, including Iran slashing its enriched uranium stockpile by 97% to less than 300 kilograms and the IAEA instituting the world’s strongest nuclear verification regime in Iran,” the text says.

It also quoted several world leaders — from French President Francois Macron to EU Representative Federica Mogherini to Trump’s former secretary of state Jim Mattis — explaining the deal’s virtues.

The Iran deal “remains the best means of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon,” British Prime Minister Theresa May is quoted saying.

“The JCPOA is a key nonproliferation achievement that guards against Iran developing nuclear weapons and is of central importance to American security,” the resolution states. “Returning to the JCPOA will restore America’s commitment to an agreement made with allies and prevent a renewed nuclear crisis in the Middle East.”
