I never expected the JCPOA to be rejoined by the US or Europe. They kept extending the negotiations under the false claim that "we're close to an agreement, just a few niggling points left" - when in reality the two basic Iranian requirements - 1) drop the sanctions, and 2) guarantee the US wouldn't leave again - were never agreed to by the US. The US wasn't even a party to the negotiations, being in another room every time. But clearly the EU poodles couldn't go against US wishes even if they wanted to.
Now Iran probably doesn't even care about the sanctions. With their new participation in the area agreements like SCO and BRICS, their economic prospects are bright, their defensive military capabilities against the US and Israel will be enhanced by Russian systems, and they can continue on their independent path while aiding Russia in shafting the US in Syria.
Yes, for Iran and the world the JCPOA is done. Raisi's currently touring Africa acting very independent, sovereign even. The 1970s attempt to establish a New International Economic Order will now occur during the 2020s as the RoW forms into its Multipolar whole.
usa love of land mines, and huge dud rate cluster munitions reveals their view that their enemy military age or infants are cannon fodder, less than human meat!
You'll have noted in my rhetoric the Outlaw US Empire and its Neoliberal Parasite Masters I term Anti-Human, although I've yet to employ that here--well, I just did. Our Confrontation is all about advancing Humanity against its Anti-Human foes, what Hudson called "The Destiny of Civilization."
"Outlaw US Empire and its Neoliberal Parasite Masters I term Anti-Human"
Clear and appropriate terminology, but the Russian choice of "Anglo Saxons" has certain implications, similar to the old French term "Perfidious Albion".
Who are the agents and who are merely the operatives in this?
It is difficult to discern by-design.
Russia knows who the "enemy' is but does not openly specify this knowledge. I look forward to targeted-attacks which miight reveal more about the Russian knowledge, but they are conservative. I think they would not want to show their hand for mere tactical strikes, but I have no special knowledge, just overall impressions
Yes, yours is a good surmise. I don't have t at hand at the moment but there was a book published a few years ago that listed a portion of the International 1%. That most are English speakers and members of the Wall Street-City Borg is what I see Russia meaning by its terminology. Of course, Russia and the UK are long-time adversaries, so Russia might just be reverting to form that Russians would easily comprehend.
"The Square Mile" is located wiithin London, but precedes the English Crown legally. It is an interesting entity, quite ancient. It is not directly answerable to the Crown or the State.
The English, Scottish and Welsh people are already colonized by "the square mile".
I would call "the square mile" and it's global partners in New York, and other subsidiaries, "Russia's enemy", myself, but I don't count, and I just read open source information.
There is a further schism in global finance, between the American retail (imperial) banks and European financial interests, "the Davos crowd" (Tom Luongo's term).
Douglas Macgregor forsees a deep, pervasive banking failure, preventing American elections in 2024. He does not reveal his sources.
Clearly, a vast debt and ownership restructuring is needed in the world. Who will be forced to accept vast losses?
What will be the financial structure afterward? Can we get rid of most rentiers?
Hudson's summation:
That America is in the same position as the Roman Republic, when it finally turned into the Roman Empire. The polarization has gone so far that there cannot be any recovery of living standards, any rise in wages, any improvement in living conditions, without radically changing the tax policy, the economic policy, without having a policy that benefits labor and productive industry, not the financial sector, and the real estate sector. That the financial sector and the property owning sector is outside of the economy. It’s external, it’s imposed on the economy. The economic core is workers for wages, producing goods and services. That core doesn’t need a financial wrapping.
You don’t need a wealthy 1% to finance the government’s budget deficit. Governments can do it by itself. The governments should have the role that the banks have today. That means there are not going to be any more big bank buildings overshadowing urban skylines. It means that there will be, basically, a return to what the whole world thought was an ideal of industrial capitalism, before World War I. And that was that capitalism would evolve steadily into socialism, to be a more productive economy, to free itself from the financial class, from the landlord class, and from the monopolists, and that a free market is a market free from land rent, free from bank rent, and free from unearned income, and wealth, that doesn’t play any productive role at all.
Yes, that was Hudson's message today. IMO, the "Garden" must be reduced to the "Square Mile" where it can enclose itself. The world is beginning to realize it has no need for private bankers or private financial or insurance companies. Indeed, most of what humans need can be made into public utilities. That will soon be written about in a more formal manner.

Ellen Brown at Web Of Debt is always a good reference for that.
Bank of North Dakota is the poster-child.
