-The Urge To Sign A Contract-


 With this dog-eat-dog mindset all across the world, Iran’s Nuclear Deal is a bone of contention, that has shaken the socio-political landscapes of international politics. Iran is desperately trying to gain the upper hand in all of the middle-east as it has been made very clear that Iran doesn’t get together with the rest of Arabia. Irani policymakers believe that becoming a nuclear power could grant them the edge they needed to dominate, or even exploit the U.A.E and other parts of the Middle East. Iran acquiring nuclear weapons could potentially bring Iran higher in the power hierarchy; this nuclear capability would enable Iran to be a key player in regional and even international geo-political matters giving Iran a higher vantage point. Nuclear weapons are the best thing Iran could get their hands on in this current status of the world. Having the title “A Nuclear Power” is already blood-rushing itself because the scale of the bombs is enormous. One bomb could quickly destroy massive cities.

The first deal was signed between Donald J. Trump and Abbas Araghchi in 2015. The deal's purpose was for Iran to hinder nuclear proliferation and get exports from the U.S.A, China, and many other countries. This deal was at the sole purpose of fear because if Iran develops nuclear weapons the U.S.A would be in a desperate struggle. This will further be explained as you continue reading. This deal was going great for both nations, however, President Trump took the action to dissolve the deal, President Trump explained how the deal was already not being followed by both parties, and that both countries were lying about some of the claims they made while they deal was still in position. He states” We cannot prevent an Iranian bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement therefore, I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.” which caused the United States to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal. The U.S.A is also in a desperate struggle to stop Iran from amassing a nuclear arsenal, as Iran has close ties with Russia. China also seems to be supporting Iran in economic affairs. The U.S.A also managed to instigate Iran by assassinating their military leader(Qassim Suleimani) and so the world anticipated retaliation from Iran which could have ended in economic doom if they did indeed possess Nuclear Missiles. At this stage of time, the United States does not want Iran to develop nuclear weapons or any other weapon of mass destruction for these 2 main reasons:

If a country develops a nuclear arsenal, the power dynamics in the hierarchy of countries change; countries reorient their political status in the geopolitical arena of international politics. Leading countries like the USA advocate for the non-proliferation of nuclear arsenals to avoid the disturbance caused by the ripple effect of the development of WMDs.  

  Similarly, humanitarian agencies/organizations fear that this maneuver by Iran could possibly embolden other countries to seek nuclear weapons for better control of local and even international politics. The impacts of this political advancement would not be 
localized and would have catastrophic ramifications across the globe.

 

America is advocating for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and other related weapons of mass destruction and the sole cause of the 2015 deal was to halt any ongoing military advancements in the above-mentioned area. Iran currently doesn’t possess any nuclear weapons but as of May 15th, 2022, Iran is expecting to develop 1 nuclear weapon in 4 months' time. Intelligence from external sources proposes a delay in Iran’s development of nuclear weapons; although, the skepticism that Iran might develop it - sooner or later - does sound alarming. In an interview, The Israeli  Head of Military Intelligence Major Tamir Hayman said, “They are not heading toward a bomb right now…It may be in the distant future.” Iran's most developed bomb the Sajjil-2 is expected to be made in 4 months, but the entire process of making the bomb, making the rocket it travels on, and then marrying them will take around 3-4 years. Now after all of this, is the deal refined, unchanged, or defenestrated? The deal is slowly being renewed as of rising tension in the U.S of the development of the bomb exceeding their expectations, and with their current knowledge of what's going to happen once, Iran gets a nuclear arsenal.  America wants the production of the bombs to go slower so that when the inevitable comes, the U.S.A may be in a preferable position to fend it off diplomatically or defensively. The relationship between the U.S and Iran has been on a rollercoaster given Iran’s ambition to create a nuclear arsenal. It has gone back and forth between both countries as many deals, claims, and promises were broken, many leaders assassinated and soldiers from many diverse countries, now all give their opinion on what the situation was to be, and what it has become. From what the empires have become, Iran seems to be advancing not only in military size but also in education, as the U.S has become weary of their situation, and what might happen. The U.S can only anticipate what might happen, and what could potentially happen these countries have now gone from accepting deals and shaking hands to causing propaganda, and fear among their citizens. It has certainly been a long ride just to sign a contract.
