Why The United States Should Negotiate A Separate Section 123 And 1 Alliance And Hold The Iri

Canada strongly recommends enforcing the Non-Proliferation Treaty as well as related treaties and amending them to fit the rational requisites of hesitant non-signatory states. Furthermore, Canada believes that the negotiation and elaboration of the proposed FMCT agreement is necessary, as it would restrain the spread of nuclear weapons. Canada also urges the International Community to establish a coalition fit to mediate talks between the DPRK and concerned countries, in order to find a solution that would be advantageous to all

Since the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), or Iran Deal, was signed in Vienna on July 14, 2015, there has been widespread debate as to whether the agreement would yield benefits on both sides. Exhibited by the world’s quandary involving North Korea, discussions concerning restrictions on a nuclear program are no simple feat. Consequently, when a compromise is reached that results in the preservation of peace at a minimal cost, such as the JCPoA, it must be accepted as a success. Stated in Jeffrey Lewis’s article Scuttling the Iran Deal will Lead to Another North Korea, North Korea recently tested a missile that “flew 3,700 kilometers in altitude before falling into the sea of Japan” (Lewis, Jeffrey, Foreign Policy). With Kim

The United States (U.S.) negotiation with the Haqqani network for the release Bowe Bergdahl in 2014 is the subject of my review. Bergdahl was the last U.S. prisoner of war from the war in Afghanistan captured in 2009 by the Haqqani network, an ally of the Taliban terrorist group (Wallbank and Ratnam 2014). Bergdahl was taken after leaving his Army post and held by his captives in Pakistan for five years (CBS NEWS). According to reports, Bergdahl left his post as a result of becoming disillusioned with the war effort following the death of a fellow soldier; leaving many, including some member of congress, to consider him as a deserter (Capehart 2014).

have nuclear and hydrogen weapons, but for Iran, which is not a member of NATO and its security is not guaranteed by any country in the world, the simple principle of self-defense becomes so problematic?” (Vaez, 2017). The JCPOA satisfies Iran’s demand for increased influence while maintaining the priority of international nuclear stability. With worldwide peace and proliferation safeguards an international interest, the United States should utilize a selective engagement mindset, specifically in regards to a great powers focus, to maintain leverage and unity within the multilateral agreement, “Selective engagement endeavors to ensure peace among powers that have substantial industrial and military potential – the great powers” (Posen, & Ross, 2000). By prioritizing vital interests, the great powers can develop a collaborative and effective strategy to force Iranian nuclear cessation and maintain unity to avoid Iranian partnerships with nations seeking to increase their sphere of influence. Additionally, the international response to Iran establishes a

The official argument presented by Rouhani’s vice president and cabinet’s spokesperson was that the JCPOA is not a treaty and does not need Majles’ official endorsement. The semi-official reason presented by Abbas Araghchi was that if the parliament passes the JCPOA, then the limits in the JCPOA over Iran’s nuclear program become the law of the land and the Iranian government will be legally required to abide them. Understandably, the Rouhani’s government, which has officially sent instructions to newspaper on what they should and should not say about the JCPOA, does not desire to give its opponents in the Majles the opportunity to delegitimize its foreign policy achievement. However, the real reason is none of the above. Rouhani seeks Khamenei’s signature on the deal. If the JCPOA goes to the SNSC, according to the law, Ayatollah Khamenei has to officially ratify SNSC’s decision before it can go into effect. Khamenei’s signature is the insurance policy of not only the deal but those who negotiated

Its alliances, partnerships, and coalitions are built on free will and shared interests. Unlike the state-directed mercantilism of some competitors that can disadvantage recipient nations and promote dependency, the purpose of U.S. foreign assistance should be to end the need for it. America seeks strong partners, not weak ones. The NDS heavily relies on U.S. allies and partners, whose role is a key element of this strategy. Continuing alienation of various U.S. allies and partners to deepen strategic planning and interoperability is a hallmark of the NDS. In defeating the major powers in addition to a number of different efforts including in the U.S. homeland, and in other regions, adjustments are in line with the strategy’s emphasis on strategic security

Regarding the IAEA, Iran agreed to ratify the Additional Protocol and the Safeguards Agreements and “enact inspection measures that will enable IAEA inspectors unprecedented access to its nuclear facilities” (“Iran” 1). Per the agreement, “the IAEA will be requested to provide regular updates to the Board of Governors, and as provided for in this JCPOA, to the UN Security Council” (“Full Text” 4). In addition, Iran signed a "Roadmap for Clarification of Past and Present Outstanding Issues" agreement with the IAEA to resolve any questions the Agency still has concerning the possible military dimensions of its nuclear program. This issue was reported as resolved by the IAEA Director General in his report to the Board of Governors in December 2015 (“Full Text” 10). To ensure Iran does not construct another enrichment facility like Natanz, the agreement allows for IAEA inspections of the entire fuel cycle, “from the mining stage through waste disposal, and monitor all centrifuge production facilities”

Over the last few decades, there has been increasing tensions between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. This could be the cause of many external as well as internal factors. Diplomacy between these two states were not always successful and as such there would often times be misunderstandings. These misunderstandings have led to a strained relationship and a lack of cooperation among key actors of these nations.

If we suddenly went off by ourselves and said no to this, we’re not only going to lose the support of the international community, we’re going to lose the access, lose the accountability. We would have no mechanism to verify that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful. Without this deal, Iran could go do what it wants unchecked by the international community.”  This means that America isn't sure that Iran is going to use their nuclear bombs for good or not. Thus, it is best to put the bombs aside where nobody can use them. "The full implementation of this JCPOA will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programed." To keep the problems that we have today, we must add more problems to the problems originally there. However, we must keep the number of problems constant until we find a way to subside them. To keep problems from occurring is huge skill and a huge step to peace. "Successful implementation of this JCPOA will enable Iran to fully enjoy its right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes under the relevant articles of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)." Iran should use the nuclear bomb for peaceful purposes only, which prohibits Iran from to use their own weapons freely. Even if it means taking over Iran's military defense, America should, to maintain peace within the

The Iranian Nuclear Test Crisis has recently created multiple security issues which need to be properly addressed. As part of the NSC staff, I recommend a strategy in response to this Iranian Nuclear Test Crisis that is consistent with both US policy and the state of international affairs. This strategy will integrate the use of Instruments of Power (IOPs) as well as explain which international relations (IR) perspectives influenced my decision on choosing these specific IOPs. When building a strategy for any situation, there are many things address and one should look into all Instruments of Power which are: Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed by Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States) is not merely a transatlantic success, but a collective effort to defuse a global challenge. That said, the instrumental EU-U.S. policy cooperation that led to the 2015 deal was the exception rather than the rule. More often than not, policymakers in European capitals were at odds with their counterparts in Washington over how to treat the regime in

The reason why Iran is such an issue in today’s world is because we are not quite sure what their intentions are. For the past 20 or so years, politicians and international organizations have been saying that Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon, while they say that their only intentions are developing nuclear power to help power their country. Countries that see themselves as not really being allies with Iran feel threatened that they will develop a nuclear weapon and use it on them. Both the United States and Israel feel this way.

During this timeframe, the “Shah became increasingly isolated and dictatorial.” Gripes between the two countries escalated to a new high point in 1979 with the Iranian take-over of the U.S. Embassy and the ensuing hostage crisis. The relationship between the two countries continued to deteriorate as witnessed by the U.S.’ support for Iraq during its war against Iran. Additionally, Iran protested the shooting down of one of their civilian airplanes over international water by the U.S. Navy. On the other hand, Iran has been linked to “terrorist attacks on U.S. forces in Beirut in 1983 and in Saudi Arabia in 1996; and Iranian support for extremist movements in Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, and Afghanistan.” Moreover, around 2010, the U.S. and Israel are suspected of launching a massive cyber-attack on an Iranian nuclear facility. This was accompanied by assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists in order to slow down the country’s nuclear program. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) marks the last major milestone in the relationship between the U.S. and Iran. The signing of this agreement in 2015 is considered “one of the most deficient arms control agreements in history.” JCPOA provides Iran with enough flexibility to advance its nuclear program, which eventually will lead to a nuclear bomb. Although such an agreement took place, Iranians will always remember the coup that led to a dictatorial, repressive regime. The

A nuclear free Iran is the main objective. This policy transcends partisan divides within the American political system and between international hegemonic rivalries. A nuclear capable Iran is neither an American nor an Israeli problem. Rather, the community of nations must collectively ensure the end of Iran’s pursuit towards a weapon of mass destruction. The consequences of failure are unprecedented. Regional stability will deteriorate, global security will be undermined, and economic interests will be threatened. While there is a consensus on the policy, the road taken and tools used to mitigate the proliferation of a nuclear bomb is not as clear. Unilateral actions by the United States of America are not enough. Even if Western allies implement a strategy together - it is still not enough. The formation of a multilateral coalition is essential if Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb is to be halted. A dual track approach that combines diplomatic negotiations with economic sanctions is the peaceful path required for the policy of a nuclear free Iran to be effective. Military engagement is a tool that remains on the table but should only be used when all other approaches are exhausted.

The Iran Nuclear Deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was formally adopted on October 18th, 2015 by Iran, Germany, and the UN Security Council-consisting of Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States. It enabled Iran to peacefully pursue nuclear program so long as it did not weaponize the program and it removed American sanctions and European embargos. In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has made efforts to eliminate the agreement or at least severely limit the program.
