Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said that the Japanese government intends to support companies cooperating with Iran, including via the conclusion of the bilateral investment agreement.

Japan seeks to develop cooperation with Iran in line with the removal of economic sanctions introduced by the UN Security Council, the country's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Monday.

"Measures will be taken quickly on the basis of UN Security Council decisions, the relevant departments are working on the issue."

Suga added that the Japanese government intends to support companies cooperating with Iran, including via the conclusion of the bilateral investment agreement.

The European Union, the United States and the United Nations lifted their sanctions against the Islamic Republic after the International Atomic Energy Agency verified late on Saturday Tehran's compliance with a nuclear agreement.

Iran and six world powers — the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany — signed a nuclear deal last July. It guaranteed the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

The spoiled brats thow tantrum

As the rest of the world scrambles to welcome Iran back into the fold, the US is fuming and threatening to impose new sanctions.
The spoiled brats are isolating the US from the world, one step at a time.

I would go one step further to suggest that the U.S. is not operating as a nation but as a proxy for the occupiers of Palestine and by extension the British who were key in putting the occupiers there in the first place.
I doubt there are enough brain cells in all of the continental U.S. for any of this to change.

Quote of the Day

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
