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.


Careful, you're twisting your brain into so many knots you might injure a wayward spirochete.

This is where the U.S. says: OK France and whoever else.....go enforce your sanctions. We are out....and by the way Iran, it isn't us.....we will honor our deal. Probably a good time to leave the UN, or start another group....

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.

Then why did the US create a deal where France had to approve, should be your concern.

And that wasn't a straw man, FWIW

Our deal requires French approval

I didn't have France having bigger balls than the US on my 2026 bingo card.

They don't.

They're sabotaging the deal on behalf of their mooslim friends.

Point of fact. Much of the sanctions on Iran are not “American sanctions.” The USA can’t unilaterally terminate them.
