nuclear issue article
The article deals with the nuclear deal between Iran on one hand and USA on the other. There is a problem of miscommunication which is an obstacle between the countries. For a deal to take place there has to be contact so that there are no loop holes and transparency prevails; but in this case language which plays a vital role is not prevalent as US only wants to talk about the nuclear deal while Iran on the other hand has other issues which it wants to discuss. Language is a way of knowing and unless both the countries do not communicate about the issues they have in hand, there will always be a sense of suspicion and uncertainty. The USA has adopted a self-centered attitude and the person who makes the claim appears to be biased towards it as Iran is portrayed as a country hiding important information, whereas this claim may not hold entirely true as the person making it may be under pressure from a higher authority who is trying to bring out the positive side of one country while hiding the points which may bring out some negativity. The evidence provided in the article may not be entirely true as it is a recollection of facts, using memory, which can be biased to what it wants to portray and what appears to please it. The claim creates a negative opinion about Tehran by adding “The West fears that Iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons - a claim denied by Tehran” which cannot be entirely trusted as no evidence is provided. There is a mention of ‘last week’ in the article which adds mathematics to it but the duration could also be manipulated which could cause another misunderstanding in the situation. there is a sense of selfishness on part of both Iran and the US as they chose to overlook other issues and refuse to be flexible and co-operative: “Iran has always defended its right to continue its nuclear programme”. Emotions somewhere play a role in the matter but should not overpower logic as it is a professional issue and personal enmity between the countries, or other issues, should not intrude. The article brings out how there is miscommunication and issues are being avoided by Iran, which is disrupting the flow of the nuclear issue that needs to be resolved.
