France flexes: Sanctions on Iran to be lifted only with our approval

The mighty France has spoken. 
They've contributed so much, it's only right that they should be able to make demands.
I agree with what he wants, but I suspect it's just to sabotage any peace deal.
They should have put some skin in the game.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said "there will be no lifting of UN sanctions against Iran without France's consent," adding that Paris would be "inevitably" involved in the nuclear negotiations. He also demanded that any new agreement address Iran's ballistic missile program and the regime's support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.

"For Iran and its regime to stop being a source of instability, a threat to its surroundings, it is essential that not only the nuclear program be addressed through very strict restrictions that must be imposed on it, but also its missile program, which threatens not only the region but, when it comes to long-range missiles, the European continent as well," he said.
"In addition, there is also the support that this regime has been providing for far too long to terrorist organizations that destabilize the region.
We know them well: Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis. Without these problems being resolved, unfortunately, with an agreement or without an agreement, with negotiations or without negotiations, in Switzerland or not in Switzerland, the instability will continue,"

Yup. And no shot France. It has to be approved by the UN and so every country on the security council has to approve. You’re not special

I hope the UN is a thing of the past by the end of Trump's term.

Where the frick have yall been, Frenchies?
Seriously, what’s the game plan behind making the US look like they are on an island only to support the original premise? I mean I know the answer but it’s a bold move to just bank on people being stupid and only following the real time narrative.

They’re a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Of course they have a say in removing any sanctions that body has issued. The U.S. is free to remove any of its unilateral sanctions on Iran.
Such a dumb rage bait thread, but I’ll let you all get back to it.

Iran should threaten to invade. Then the French will surrender.

I thought this was related to the announcement on the front page of Google News, that after 50 years the American flag has possibly been bleached white from solar radiation over the decades...
Making aliens think France was the first country to land on the moon.

In fact, as a permanent member they have veto power. So, while contributing nothing, they do have influence here.

#1 logical fallacy in the book of internet debating. Debate against a position of your own construction, aka straw man argument. Nobody's questioning France's rights as a member of the security council. Nobody's even opposing their stated goals. The point of the thread is that France did nothing to to assist when the US finally decided, after decades of UN diddling, to take action in pursuit of those goals. In fact, France actively obstructed the US efforts by refusing to allow overflights.

You don’t know what a straw man fallacy is.

I just gave you the definition and an illustrative example.

All of these governments are incompetent as hell including our own but none more than France and Britian's.

Your example was obviously incorrect within the context of this thread. Have a little self awareness.

Projection is a good one too.

By leaving the ballistic missile capability of Iran alone, commenting a country has a right to protect itself, one knew it would certainly get the attention of those north of Iran. POTUS Trump's team negotiating the MOU are simply playing 10 D chess.

You’re too dumb (willingly?) to even understand.
Let’s see what you said previously.

If the U.S.’s unilateral action (bilateral with Israel?) against Iran was actually carried out under the auspices of a UN mandate, your argument against me would actually hold water. The fact of the matter was that it wasn’t. That’s why my initial statement was not a straw man.
