Pros And Cons Of The Iranian Deal

646 Words3 Pages

Proponents of the Iran deal have argued that ending sanctions has some unfortunate consequences, but the deal has limited goals and is in no way trying to fix all of the problems in the US-Iran relations. Trying to fix all the problems at once when there are so many, and we have such a long complex history with Iran is doomed to fail. They argue that critics are asking for too much and even thou the deal isn't perfect we should settle for best deal we can get. This is a reasonable argument on their side, but I would argue that critics aren't asking for a perfect deal just a better deal. The deal isn't the best deal we could get as is shown by letting Iran keep their nuclear infrastructure and failing to punish them for past cheating and lying to the IAEA
Originally removing their nuclear infrastructure was on the agenda, with all the five permanent members of the security council and Germany say it had be dismantled. unfortunately, this was dropped along the way and didn't get into the deal. As it stands the deal doesn't stop Iran from enriching uranium as initially suggested. There are two possible ways for them to violate the agreement …show more content…

First, they could do a "break-out" where they kick inspectors out and begins to enrich uranium to weapons grade. Second and more likely they do a break-out but in secret what is called a sneak-out. In a sneak-out they secretly enrich uranium to weapons grade but violate the agreement in small ways as to avoid punishment. Unfortunately, if they were to do a sneak-out there is nothing we could do because to reintroduce the sanctions would require the United Nations Security Council approval. Getting Security Council approval would only happen if Iran did a major violation of the agreement and maybe not even then because of Iran's close relationship with

The US heavy-handedly pressured them to refrain from nuclear exports, specifically in the German-Brazilian deal. The US’ loud voice instilled the pact set forth in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968. Until 1974 most nations had approached nuclear weapons and civilian uses of nuclear energy separately. Both sides in outlining their grievances towards each other often used article 4. “All the Parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.”

Unlike the harsh rhetoric espoused by his predecessors that were more closely aligned with Khamenei's hardline conservative faction, Khatami offered a much different vision that resonated with the Iranian people. Once in office, Khatami introduced the proposal of a “Dialogue Among Civilizations”, which sought to create a peaceful coexistence between Iran and the West where the two sides could reconcile their differences through constructive dialogue rather than saber rattling. Clinton responded by sending Secretary of State Madeleine Albright over to Iran in 2000, where she apologized for the United States’ meddling in Iranian politics during the shah’s reign and their misguided support of Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War (CNN). For the first time since the Islamic Revolution, the United States was making concrete steps towards rapprochement with Iran. Supreme Leader Khamenei attempted to undercut this effort in his response to Albright’s trip stating that, “The Iranian nation and its authorities consider the United States to be their enemy because America's past behavior is full of acts of hostility and treason” (BBC World News).

For example, Resolution 1874, which “imposes further economic and commercial sanctions on the DPRK and encourages UN member states to search NK cargo, had fueled North Korea’s anger. North Korea had opposed this resolution as they said they would consider any new sanctions imposed against them as a “declaration of war”. Recently, North Korea hasn’t been an active participant in the votings of resolutions as we cannot include a list of resolutions signed or supported. The passing of a global immigration law will be considered a “declaration of

Second, the working panels aimed to clarify and systematize the technical aspects of the implementation stage. In this regard, a model law to harmonize the implementation of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) legislation at the member states’ level was developed and a list of standardized language that could be employed in the drafting of UNSC resolutions was created. And third, experts addressed polemic issues like the provision of legal safeguards for individuals and entities that had been targeted with sanctions. This matter led to discussions related to procedures that allowed for the removal of names from the sanctions blacklist, upon request (Guijarro-¬Usobiaga). By utilizing a more practical approach to the use of targeted sanctions, the issuing countries or organizations were better able to understand new possibilities and potential limitations of sanctions.

Proliferation groups are trying to get the US to lead the way and destroying and disarming their atomic bombs in hopes that other countries will follow. Forster proposes these ideas in his own words.

The US cannot just say disarm your weapons and not do the same themselves. The US needs to take charge and start things themselves.
