—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 BREAKING: After finally receiving the full text of the Iran-IAEA agreement signed in Cairo, it has unfortunately been confirmed by lawmakers that the agreement forces Iran to allow IAEA inspections of its nuclear sites and that Iran must report the location of its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium

This is consistent with the text that was 'leaked' to the parliament three weeks ago, which Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi staunchly denied, as recently as last week, when he said that 'Grossi's statements about the agreement are inaccurate'.

In fact, Grossi's remarks were correct, and Araqchi lied to the parliament with a straight face.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳/🇪🇺 Prominent Iranian MP, Dr. Amirhossein Sabeti:

'The Foreign Minister’s argument for signing this dangerous agreement is that it will delay the snapback mechanism for another six months. However, this is a massive mistake, for several key reasons:

– Firstly, six months will pass very quickly, and Araqchi must explain what other concessions he plans to give to the West at that point.

– Secondly, implementing the snapback mechanism in the current situation, after a war has already occurred, will have no significant impact on Iran’s economy or the livelihood of its people. In fact, the cost of 'delaying' snapback has become more than simply accepting its consequences.

– Lastly, nowhere in the text is it mentioned that if the snapback mechanism is triggered, the agreement will be nullified. This was apparently just a claim by Araqchi, but isn't mentioned in the text at all.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳/🇪🇺 NEW: Contrary to the claims of Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, nowhere in the Iran-IAEA agreement is there any actual mention of Iran nullifying the agreement in case the E3 activates snapback after all

In the past days, Araqchi claimed that Iran will consider the agreement 'invalid' if the E3 activates snapback, yet nothing can be found about this in the text; no clause, no article.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 IMPORTANT NOTE: The Cairo agreement (Iran-IAEA cooperation agreement) was apparently signed on authority of the 'Nuclear Committee of the Supreme National Security Council'

This means it was approved by a SUBCOMITTEE within the Supreme National Security Council — not the actual SNSC — and therefore does NOT bear the signature of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 How Israel’s Triggering Economic Collapse in West Bank

The West Bank’s economy is in freefall, driven by Israel’s stringent measures since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023.

🔸 Unemployment has soared to over 30% as of September 2024, up from 12.9% before the conflict, with nearly 115,000 Palestinian work permits for Israel revoked and only 8,000 reinstated.

🔸 The job market, already strained by pre-war restrictions like Israel’s withholding of $2.3 billion in Palestinian tax revenues since 2019, is now crippled.

🔸 An International Labour Organization survey found that over 50% of West Bank workers faced reduced hours, 60% saw income cuts, and 65% of businesses slashed staff, doubling the poverty rate to one-third of families.

How did Israel orchestrate the crisis?

🔸 Israel’s post-October 2023 decision to withhold tax revenues meant for Palestinian Authority (PA) salaries in Gaza, citing Hamas risks, has deepened the crisis. The PA, rejecting partial transfers, now grapples with a $13 billion public debt—130% of Palestine’s GDP.

🔸 In June 2024, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich canceled a banking indemnity waiver, threatening to sever ties between Israeli and Palestinian banks by November. This could isolate Palestinian banks globally, disrupt trade, and spawn a cash-based black market.

🔸 An excess of Israeli shekels, capped by the 1994 Paris Protocol, further limits Palestinian banks’ ability to finance trade or accept deposits.

🔸 Israeli military raids on currency exchange centers, seizing millions, have disrupted vital payment systems, exacerbating cash shortages.

Only ending Israel’s occupation and establishing Palestinian sovereignty can avert total economic collapse. With no immediate solution, the West Bank’s financial trajectory remains dire.
