LONDON — Iran announced plans on Monday to stop complying with the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, which the United States withdrew from last year, leaving the door open to an “unlimited rise” in Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium amid escalating tensions between the two nations.
The announcement by Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization was the country’s latest signal that it will abandon the pact unless the other signatories to the deal help Iran circumvent punishing United States economic sanctions imposed by President Trump.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman for the organization, said that Iran’s low-enriched uranium stockpile would surpass a limit set in the agreement within the next 10 days, the semiofficial news agency Tasnim reported. Low-enriched uranium can be used in a nuclear reactor, but not in an atomic bomb.

He said, however, that Iran would stay within the limits if Britain, France, Germany and the full European Union — all of which are signatories to the nuclear deal — followed through on plans to give Iran access to international financial systems, sidestepping American sanctions, and also made up for lost oil revenue.

“As long as they comply by their commitments, these will go back,” Mr. Kamalvandi said in a televised news conference at the country’s Arak nuclear plant.

In early May, President Hassan Rouhani of Iran said his country would reduce compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal and take several steps to resume the production of nuclear centrifuges and begin accumulating nuclear material if Europe did not agree to a system to ease the effects of American sanctions.
At the time, he set a 60-day deadline for the Europeans, who hope to salvage the deal despite Mr. Trump’s opposition, to make good on promises to help preserve Iran’s oil and banking sectors. That deadline expires early next month.
But Mr. Rouhani was careful to maintain that while Iran would retain its enriched uranium and heavy water rather than selling them to other nations, the country, for the time being, would stay within the limits set by the nuclear deal.

Haya mabomu ya nyuklia yatatumika mashariki ya kati, muda utaongea wenyewe na kila mtu atasikia

 

[Volatility]

Siasa za Mabomu ya Nuclear zinakera sana.
Hawa marekani ndio waliwaambia hawa wa IRAN watengeneze hayo ma nuclear, leo wamewageuka.

IRAN wako sahihi sana kutengeneza hayo mabomu sababu ndio namna pekee ya kuweza kujilinda na vitisho visivyokwisha.

Kama issue ni ulinzi kwa wa israel, wawa hamishie hao waisrael huku Africa kama walivyokuwa wamepanga mwanzo. we welcome them, ila hakuna kujenga hayo maukuta yao.

Wawahamishie wapi?Hakuna hiyo,Na wao wataruhusiwa kutengeneza ma Ballistic Nuclear Missiles in big numbers.Tuone kama middle East patakalika.

Europe want to see if maximum pressure campaign of Mr Trump can bring any positive results.
So they buy Time and use the" wait to see" technique.
Iran must do something to show the Europe that I have no time to wait your false promises..

Lakini wao ndio wanajiharibia credibility yao mbele ya Jumuiya ya Kimataifa. Na nadhani Trump alikuwa anasubiri sana kwa hamu huu uamuzi ili wapate sababu ya kumchapa.

Sure hio itakua ndo pretext,
Watadai Iran want to make a nuclear Bomb , so watashambulia nuclear reactor sites inside Iran Kama vile kumzuia asiendelee na huo mpango, hapo Iran nae ata strike back mwisho wa siku vita kubwa itaibuka inayoitwa ""The 2nd gulf war""

 

[Elungata]

iran kashituka maana nchi za ulaya ziko na marekani ila wanampoteza maboya iran ili ajihisi wako nae ,sasa iran kawapa siku kumi tu ili waprove kweli wako kwenye mkataba ule au wanafanya unafiki,na kwa ufupi ulaya ni koloni la marekani,hawawezi kwenda kinyume na master wao kwahiyo deal is off,baada ya hapo sasa ni suala la kuamua lini makombora yaanza kurindima.

 

[Elungata]

kiufupi iran anataka wagawane mbao pale mashariki ya kati maana kishausoma mchezo akaona watamlamba vikwazo kwa miaka hata kumi kama walivyomfanya saddam,kisha akitepeta sasa ndo wanaingiza jeshi,kwahiyo sasa iran anataka mchuzi uliwe kungali moto,hiyo inatranslate kuwa pipa la mafuta litafika dola mia tano,Trump atashindwa uchaguzi,Kwa bei hiyo Russia atarudi kwenye usuperpower na ataikamata ulaya kwa kuuza gase na mafuta bei nafuu kuliko mafuta ya mmarekani ya kusombwa kwa n mameli

Teh teh teh eti Russia atarudi kuwa Superpower kisa mafuta kuuzwa dollars 500,kweli pro Russia mmekuwa kama fisi anaesubiri Mkono wa Binadamu uanguke aule. Vipi China hawi Superpower tena?

Tatizo kubwa @Frankwanjiru hutumiagi common sense,pale persian gulf kila siku pipa milioni 17 lazima zipite pale,kwenda euro,asia,africa,kule upande wa pili(angalia raman) kuna redsea ambayo ndo inaelekea mfereji wa suez na pia bomber la mafuta la saudi linatokea huko kama second option iwapo persian gulf haipitiki juu ya vita,lile bomba linatoa kila siku pipa karibu milioni 10,
nchi karibu zote za uarabuni iraq,qatar,bahran,saudi,kuwait zinategemea hizi njia kufikisha mafuta sokoni,
kama uzalishaji utasimama baada ya oil facilities kuharibiwa maana yake mzalishaji mkubwa wa mafuta atabaki marekani,Rusia na venezuela,
sasa angalia umbali wa marekani na venezuela kuja ulaya na asia,
kisha angalia Rusia ilipo,kumbuka Russia anapump mafuta kwa kutumia pipeline hadi europe which makes Russia oil cheaper in europe market than US oil,
kumbuka katika biashara kubwa tofauti ya dokla kumi tu inatranslate kwenye mabilioni ya dola,kumbuka hapohapo US mwenyewe ni mtumiaji mkubwa wa mafuta na hawezi kuexport zaidi ya 60% ya mafuta yake incase kama uzalishaji wa uarabuni umesimama,
just use common sense,sasa nakuuliza ewe wanjiru,ulaya watatumia option ipi kupata mafuta kwa haraka kama sio kununua mafuta ya Russia?

 

[Elungata]

@frankwanjiru incase hufahamu kinachoipa kiburi marekani ni kitu inaitwa Petroldollar,hiyo ndo inaifanya marekani awe na uwezo wa kuchapisha dola kama utitiri na hivyo kuweza kuhudumia majeshi yake dunia nzima bila kufiriska,uzalishaji wa mafuta ya nchi za ulaya utakapoathirika kwa miezi michache tu ni pigo kubwa kwa uchumi wa marekani juu marekani hazalishi vitu vingi vya kuuza kama ilivyo china,
pili ,sababu ya soviet union kusambaratika ni saudi arabia,
marekani wacheza deal na saudi arabia,waarabu wakaongeza uzalishaji,mzigo ukafurika sokoni bei ikafa,uchumi wa soviet enzi hizo ukibebwa na mafuta,baada ya bei kufa Soviet ikajikuta inashindwa kuhudumia majeshi yake ulaya mashariki,Warsaw pact ikafa,soviet wakaloose control,ulaya masharika ikaanza kujitenga,juu warusi kipindi hicho wamefulia vibaya wakawa hawana jinsi bali kukubali matokeo,
sasa fikiria pipa la mafuta likifika dola 500 itakuaje huku soko likiwa na ushindani mchache

In a simplified way, the story of the
collapse of the Soviet Union could be
told as a story about grain and oil.
That is from Yegor Gaidar. In the 1980s it
was necessary to import more and more
grain, and Saudi Arabia was no longer
supporting oil prices. It worked like this:
The timeline of the collapse of the
Soviet
Union can be traced to September
13, 1985. On this date, Sheikh Ahmed
Zaki Yamani, the minister of oil of
Saudi Arabia, declared that the
monarchy had decided to alter its oil
policy radically. The Saudis
stopped protecting oil prices, and
Saudi Arabia quickly regained its
share in the world market. During
the next six months, oil production
in Saudi Arabia increased fourfold,
while oil prices collapsed by
approximately the same amount in
real terms.
As a result, the Soviet Union lost
approximately $20 billion per
year, money without which the
country simply could not survive. The
Soviet leadership was confronted
with a difficult decision on how to
adjust. There were three options–or
a combination of three
options–available to the Soviet
leadership.
First, dissolve the Eastern European
empire and effectively stop
barter trade in oil and gas with the
Socialist bloc countries, and
start charging hard currency for the
hydrocarbons. This choice,
however, involved convincing the
Soviet leadership in 1985 to negate
completely the results of World War
II. In reality, the leader who
proposed this idea at the CPSU
Central Committee meeting at that
time
risked losing his position as general
secretary.
Second, drastically reduce Soviet food
imports by $20 billion, the
amount the Soviet Union lost when
oil prices collapsed. But in
practical terms, this option meant the
introduction of food rationing
at rates similar to those used during
World War II. The Soviet
leadership understood the
consequences: the Soviet system
would not
survive for even one month. This idea
was never seriously discussed.
Third, implement radical cuts in the
military-industrial complex.
With this option, however, the Soviet
leadership risked serious
conflict with regional and industrial
elites, since a large number of
Soviet cities depended solely on the
military-industrial complex. This
choice was also never seriously
considered.
Unable to realize any of the above
solutions, the Soviet leadership
decided to adopt a policy of
effectively disregarding the problem
in
hopes that it would somehow wither
away. Instead of implementing
actual
reforms, the Soviet Union started to
borrow money from abroad while its
international credit rating was still
strong. It borrowed heavily from
1985 to 1988, but in 1989 the Soviet
economy stalled completely…
The money was suddenly gone. The
Soviet Union
tried to create a consortium of 300
banks to provide a large loan for
the Soviet Union in 1989, but was
informed that only five of them
would
participate and, as a result, the loan
would be twenty times smaller
than needed. The Soviet Union then
received a final warning from the
Deutsche Bank and from its
international partners that the funds
would
never come from commercial
sources. Instead, if the Soviet Union
urgently needed the money, it would
have to start negotiations directly
with Western governments about so-
called politically motivated credits.
In 1985 the idea that the Soviet
Union would begin bargaining for
money in exchange for political
concessions would have sounded
absolutely preposterous to the Soviet
leadership. In 1989 it became a
reality, and Gorbachev understood
the need for at least $100 billion
from the West to prop up the oil-
dependent Soviet economy.
Here is the full article. The pointer is from
VoxBaby. Do you have further thoughts?

Ile Nuclear Deal ya Obama ilikuwa upupu mtupu kabisa.

Trump na ndoto yake ya kuzuia Iran kupitia vikwazo na vitisho iliishia pale aliposikia maneno ya Ayatollah Khumein akimuelza Waziri Mkuu wa Japani, maneno ambayo yalisababisha "Kikundi chake Saud Arabia, UAE na Israel" kuanguka kama RADII juu ya kichwa cha Trump.

Trump amepoteza mpango wa kuwazuia Iran wasiwe na nyuklia, Iran wamesema Trump hapati chochote kizuri kwenye deal kama ile ya Obama aliyapata, atapata mabaya zaid kuliko ya Obama. Yani vitisho vyake akavipeleke Saud Arabia tu.

Wewe ndio unatumia akili,Vita vingapi vimepiganwa Middle East na bei ya mafuta ikapanda na huyo Mrusi wako kashindwa kuwa Superpower?

Ni kweli mkuu

Wakiuza pipa milioni 20 kwa siku kwa hiyo bei tayari wameshafikia Revenue ya US federal Government plus all US states revenues

 

[Elungata]

ha ha ha huyu wanjiru sijui mkenya wa wapi huyu hajui mambo ya kimataifa,iraq hakuwahi kufunga persian gulf,hakuwahi kushambulia visima vya mafuta vya saudi,kwa ufupi saddamu alibugi sana kubaki amekodoa macho kwa miezi sita wakati marekani akisomba wanajeshi na vifaa kujiandaa kumshambulia,the best way iraq alitakiwa aanze preemption kabla marekani hajaweza kumobilise jeshi lake,hiyo ndo maana iran wamebadili doctrine ya kijeshi kutoka defence au second strike kwenda offensive ama pre emption,so kabla marekani hajaanza serious deployment,tayari Revolutionary gurds watakuwa deep inside saudi,united arab emirate,bahran na kuwait,inaitwa taking the war to the enemy,ofcource adui hapa ni marekani lakini iran watamuumiza marekani kiuchumi kwa kuharibu infrastructure za mafuta,water desalination plants etc
