US, 40 partner countries, hold symposium to implement UNSC regulations against Iran
(today)
The US and 40 partner countries gathered in Prague last week for a symposium to advance the implementation of reimposed United Nations Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs) against Iran, the US State Department confirmed on Tuesday. (…)
Six UNSCRs were reimposed on September 27, 2025, after the Islamic Republic regime‘s „continuing ‚significant non-performance‘ of its nuclear commitments,“ the State Department noted.
Iran: Closed Consultations on the Invocation of the âSnapbackâ Mechanism
(August 28, 2025)
The JCPOA was concluded in July 2015 between Iran and permanent Council members China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US, as well as Germany (collectively known as the P5+1), and unanimously endorsed by the Council through resolution 2231. The agreement placed significant restrictions on Iranâs nuclear programme in exchange for relief from UN sanctions, which the Council had imposed between 2006 and 2010. The restrictions were scheduled to progressively expire over time, culminating in the âtermination dayâ of 18 October 2025, when the Council would end its consideration of the Iranian nuclear file.
The agreement also contained a provisionâknown as the âsnapbackâ mechanismâallowing any JCPOA participant to reimpose UN sanctions in the event of âsignificant non-performanceâ by Iran. The snapback operates through a two-stage process anchored in both the JCPOA (articles 36â37) and resolution 2231 (operative paragraphs 11â13). If a participant considers another to be in âsignificant non-performanceâ, it may refer the matter to the JCPOAâs Joint Commissionâwhich is coordinated by the European Union (EU)âand its Dispute Resolution Mechanism (DRM).
Warum das Atomabkommen fĂŒr den Iran von Anfang an wertlos war
(May 14, 2018)
D.h., das Atomabkommen gilt faktisch nur fĂŒr die Vertragsparteien ohne Vetomacht im U.N.-Sicherheitsrat: den Iran, Deutschland und die EuropĂ€ische Union.
Es ist anzunehmen, dass sich jetzt wieder einmal alle beteiligen Regierungen auf die UnfÀhigkeit herausreden ihren eigenen Betrug zu verstehen.
Eine U.N.-Resolution ist Teil des am 14. Juli 2015 unterschriebenen internationalen Iranabkommen / Atomabkommen (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, J.C.P.O.A.).
Bereits Monate vorher warnte Radio Utopie ausdrĂŒcklich vor genau dieser kommenden U.N.-Resolution und der damit zusammenhĂ€ngenden Frage der Sanktionen. (4. April 2015, Das Iran-Abkommen: Wende oder Hebel)
Und schon zuvor warnten wir im MĂ€rz 2015 davor, dass diese kommende U.N.-Resolution sich ausgerechnet auf Kapitel VII der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beschlossenen Charta der Vereinten Nationen berufen solle
Genau das tut die am am 20. Juli 2015 im U.N.-Sicherheitsrat beschlossene Resolution 2231 (2015), indem sie sich in ihren entscheidenen Abschnitten (âdecidesâ) auf Artikel 41 (und damit Kapitel VII) der Charta der Vereinten Nationen beruft.
Das Iran-Abkommen: Wende oder Hebel
(April 4, 2015)
Am 23. MĂ€rz meldete der britische âTelegraphâ, dass sich in der iranischen Zeitung Kayhan Abgeordnete des iranischen Majlis ĂŒber die Verhandlungsstrategie von AuĂenminister Zarif beschwerten und bezĂŒglich einer von Zarif angestrebten Resolution nach Kapitel VII der U.N.-Charta als einer âFalleâ sprachen. Auch der eine oder andere Generalissimus, wie ĂŒberall ReprĂ€sentant der örtlichen Hochkultur, befand â gerade noch rechtzeitig â es sei vielleicht doch keine so gute Idee sich mit der Zustimmung zu einer Kapitel VII-Resolution auch noch selbst als GefĂ€hrdung des Weltfriedens zu bezeichnen, nur weil man Atomkraftwerke und medizinische Anlagen samt Forschung dazu betreibt.
Im nun vorgestern am 2. April in Lausanne von den Regierungen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, des Vereinigten Königreichs, der Russischen Föderation, von China, Frankreich und Deutschland gemeinsam mit Iran beschlossenen und veröffentlichten Abkommen ist von einer âneuen Resolution des Sicherheitsratesâ die Rede, die das Abkommen bzw dessen âJoint Comprehensive Plan of Actionâ (JCPOA) âunterstĂŒtzenâ und auf dessen vollstĂ€ndige Umsetzung âdrĂ€ngenâ soll.
Frage: Nach Kapitel VII U.N.-Charta? Bei âernsthaften Konsequenzenâ fĂŒr den Iran, wegen erklĂ€rter GefĂ€hrdung von âinternationalen Frieden und Sicherheit,â wegen behaupteter oder tatsĂ€chlicher Vertragsverletzungen?
Curveball: How US was duped by Iraqi fantasist looking to topple Saddam
(15 Feb 2011)
Since the fall of Baghdad, Curveball‘s identity had been sought throughout Iraq and Europe. He was finally outed in late 2007 as the main source for Powell‘s speech, but has tried to keep a low profile ever since, refusing â under the orders of the BND â the approaches of the few reporters who had tracked him downto Karlsruhe.
The only other time Curveball has agreed to be interviewed was in late 2007, when he told CNN that he had been set up as a fall guy by the BND and had never breathed a word to them about WMD.
Der Fall „Curveball“: Wie ein BND-Informant den Irak-Krieg auslöste
(28.8.2011)
Diese bis heute verbreitete Darstellung ist unangenehm fĂŒr die Bundesrepublik. Deutschland steht da als ein Land, das ein Doppelspiel betrieben hat: nach auĂen den Pazifisten geben â und hintenherum ĂŒber seinen Geheimdienst einen entscheidenden Grund fĂŒr die militĂ€rische Intervention liefern. Der Bundesnachrichtendienst nahm die VorwĂŒrfe schweigend hin.
CIA-Mossad footprint turned Iranâs peaceful protests into âfull-scale street warâ: Analyst
In a statement issued after the foreign-engineered unrest, Iranâs Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs said 3,117 people were killed during the riots, including 2,427 civilians and security personnel.
Many were bystanders or protesters shot by organized terrorist elements. Yet, even amid those casualties, Ghaderi pointed to a detail he considers critical to understanding the governmentâs approach during the riots.
âUntil the end of Thursday, January 8,â he remarked, âdespite the killing of a significant number of police officers, members of the popular Basij forces, and ordinary civilians by terrorists, no one was killed by police firearms.â Only later, when violence intensified further, did the posture change.
âOf course, on Friday, given the high level of violence carried out by the terrorists, the police, following orders from senior authorities, engaged in armed confrontation with them,â Ghaderi said.
Tötungen in Iran: EU stuft Revolutionsgarde als Terrororganisation ein
Weiter nannte Wadephul die destabilisierende Rolle des Iran in der Region, die von der Revolutionsgarde verantwortet werde. Zudem stecke sie hinter Anschlagsversuchen in Deutschland und Europa. Sie habe Blut an ihren HĂ€nden, so der BundesauĂenminister.
US Senate, Do the Right Thing and Refuse to Fund ICE
More Americans now support abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, than keeping it.
Trump and Schumer Move Toward Possible Deal to Avert a Shutdown
The Senate would pass those bills before a Friday midnight deadline, and Congress also would consider a short-term extension for homeland security operations, which would prevent an interruption of services by the Transportation Security Agency, Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
That stopgap bill would provide time for talks between lawmakers and the White House to draft a new homeland security spending bill that would include new restrictions that Democrats have demanded on the tactics of immigration enforcement officers and more accountability for those accused of using excessive force.
Trump administration considers new guidelines for immigration officials in Minnesota
The Trump administration circulated a draft memo this week regarding potential new guidelines for federal immigration officers on the ground in Minnesota, including plans to avoid engaging with âagitatorsâ and only targeting immigrants facing criminal charges or convictions, officials familiar with the talks told CNN.
The draft memo comes as the White House and Department of Homeland Security have had multiple behind-the-scenes discussions this week about how to best conduct immigration operations in the state moving forward.
