Trump Recertifies Iran Nuclear Deal, but Only Reluctantly
Keywords: Iran Nuclear Agreement,
Tags: Current Focus, United States,
This report by Peter Baker shows President Trump only reluctantly agreed to certify the Iran Nuclear Agreement. He opposed it in discussions with the Secretary of State Tillerson. It took the combined effort of Tillerson Dunford of the combined chiefs of staff, Defense Secretary Mattis, and of National Security Adviser McMaster, to get Trump to agree to go ahead with the deal. President Trump wanted a new strategy to counter Iran in the Middle East. The Iranian foreign minister Zarif has not yet met with Tillerson of the U.S. Zarif says Iran may withdraw from the deal if there is significant nonperformance by the U.S. Trump advisers are wary about the influence on Europe as the EU is not interested in taking a new look at the Iran nuclear deal. The EU sees things differently- that the issues of Iranian influence in the war torn Middle East is a separate issue from the nuclear deal, and that in any case a nuclear constrained Iran is better than one with nuclear weapons. Another factor is that the Middle East is now a complicated place with relations crisscrossing in different and even conflicting directions. The U.S. played a part on the Iranian side in the retaking of Mosul in Iraq with U.S. bombing strikes against Islamic State. In Iraq the U.S. is supporting the Abadi government which is mainly Shiite in its structure and is supported by Iran. The Trump position is that president Obama gave away too much in negotiating the deal and was not against the negotiating process.
U.S. Senate bill in April 2015 giving Congress final review authority over the nuclear deal with Iran
04/14/2015
With enough Democrats favoring a Congressional review of the nuclear deal with Iran to get the 67 votes to overide a presidential veto, a bipartisan compromise accepted by the White House provides for a 30 day review if the deal is submitted by July 9, 2015. The bill is the work of Senators Cardin and Corker in the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee.

What the Iran nuclear deal of July 2015 achieves and does not achieve- the different goals of Iran and the Obama administration in the U.S.
07/18/2015
It achieves the narrow goals of the Obama adminsitration, and for Iran it provides a way to protect the Islamic revolution by easing conditions for the people, says one expert. The Obama administration may be thinking in the short term of 8-10 years, the Ayatollah may be looking much longer term to continue the way Iran is governed today by religious leaders.

Verification by UN agency IAEA as the weak point in the nuclear agreement with Iran reached in April 2015
04/04/2015
International inspectors from the UN's agency will face the same problems they faced in Iraq and in an earlier period in Iran, say critics of the nuclear agreement. With the Security Council divided, and China, Russia opposing a "snap back" in sanctions, the "snap back" option may not work in the future. If German and French companies enter the Iranian market it will be diffficult to get Germany and France to support a reimposition of sanctions. As a result the entire framework of the agreement rests on verification and the record on this is weak.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
