The United States reportedly wants to apply “snapback sanctions” to deter Iran from continuing to enrich weapons-grade-uranium, a strategy that was part of the original JCPOA established in 2015.
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told Israelis this week that the Biden administration is looking at the sanctions as a way to stop Iran from enriching uranium to 90% purity, a softer stance than has previously been taken by the administration.
When the the Iran and five other countries including the U.S. agreed in 2015 to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action , the United Nations Security Council simultaneously passed the so-called snapback resolution, created to trigger sanctions if Iran violated the agreement in any way.
The agreement limited Iran’s uranium enrichment to 5%, in expected pursuit of a nuclear weapon, in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. In the past year, Tehran has enriched its weapons-grade-uranium to 60%, which worries many of the country’s neighbors, including Israel.
Former President Donald Trump exited the JCPOA in 2018, though his administration requested the U.N. security council impose snapback sanctions in 2020 following a series of reports of nuclear misbehavior out of Iran.
The council decided that, because the U.S. had left the agreement, the sanctions would not be applied.
Last year, when discussed by the Biden administration, snapback sanctions were in the conversation as a method by which to encourage Iran to agree to a “longer and stronger” version of the JCPOA. They were again brought up as a potential punishment for negotiations with Iran failing. The U.S. has been in talks, in Vienna, with Iran since early 2021 in effort to get the economically struggling county to reenter some version of the JCPOA.
Now, U.S. officials are making clear to their Iranian counterparts that the stalled negotiations cannot go on indefinitely.”What is clear is that […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
