Prolonged state of national emergency; continuation of the hostile attitude of the United States against Iran
On Tuesday, US President Joe Biden extended for one more year, the duration of the state of national emergency regarding Iran. Since 1995, all the presidents of the United States have been annually extending the situation that began to be implemented through Executive Order No. 12957 against Iran.
On March 15, 1995, the President of the United States, Bill Clinton, declared a state of national emergency against Iran allegedly in response to supposed unusual threats arising from the policies of the Iranian government against national interests, foreign policies and the economy of the country. United States.
Before that, President Jimmy Carter of that country had already issued Executive Order No. 12170 on November 14, 1979, that is, 10 days after the capture of the American intelligence den in Tehran, ordering the freezing of all assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran. in the United States, and from that year until now all the presidents of the United States have been extending the order.
Biden's action to prolong the state of emergency against Iran shows the real direction of the United States regarding Iran, which is the continuation of hostility and hostility against the Iranian nation. Since the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979 and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran, the United States, seeing itself as the leader of the Western bloc that has always tried to play a hegemonic role in the West Asian region, has prioritized the politics of hatred and hostility against of Iran and carried out many plots to try to overthrow the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Over the past four decades, the United States has been implementing unilateral policies and actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, such as imposing severe sanctions that have been described as crippling, military threats, launching political and diplomatic campaigns and psychological warfare. against Tehran.
Despite the ineffectiveness of these hostile policies, but Washington still insists on continuing the method against Tehran which is against the United Nations Charter, where during this period of Joe Biden's administration, he initiated and intensified a hybrid war against the Republic of Islamic Iran on various baseless pretexts. Since coming to power in January 2021, and contrary to his previous slogans, Biden has continued a high pressure campaign where he frequently announces new sanctions against Iran.
Iran's tendency to be subjected to severe and unusual sanctions gained a new shape and direction during the administration of Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, after the Western country withdrew from the JCPOA nuclear agreement and then started a campaign of high pressure. completely against Iran. The United States has been implementing strong sanctions against Iran in the hope that it can force it to surrender in the face of its illogical and illegal actions and demands, something that has undoubtedly failed to come true as admitted by the different governments of the United States itself, including this one of Biden. In addition, the presidents of the United States, especially George W. Bush, by including Iran in the so-called axis of evil, several times threatened to attack Iran militarily, but of course those threats were not carried out due to the great power of Iran. During the administration of Barack Obama, the policies of restricting and threatening Iran continued, where his administration was repeatedly claiming that all options regarding Iran were on the table, implying the possibility of Iran being attacked militarily. However, Iran's strong response to any U.S. threat has made even the controversial former U.S. president, Donald Trump, not dare to carry out his supposed threat to attack 52 points on Iranian soil.
Considering that the United States is preparing to hold presidential elections this year, Donald Trump, as a Republican candidate in his election campaign, is trying to attract the votes of the Zionist lobbies in the country, including AIPAC. Undoubtedly, Joe Biden, as the candidate of the Democrats in the election, along with the senior officials of his government, are trying to increase the existing sanctions and use threats and harsh words against Iran so that they also have the opportunity to win those votes.
Iran has responded strongly and practically to threats made repeatedly against it by different US presidents. This clearly proves that Tehran is not threatened or intimidated at all by Washington's threats, but if any aggression is done against it by the United States, without a doubt the Western country will receive a blow it has never experienced again. In addition, the continued extension in the United States of the state of emergency against Iran, which Biden has also done, does not present any challenge in Tehran's desire to continue to face Washington's plots against the strong nation of Iran.
