Nulear deal K&W
The article deals with the nuclear deal involving Iran , which is an Arabic country, and USA on the other hand. When something is to be agreed upon, co operation should exist between the two parties which is clearly lacking in this case. Iran has offered to engage in discussion regarding other issues except for the nuclear issue, which is USA’s key concern. There exists a communication gap between the two sides which in turn is giving birth to suspicion. Both these countries evidently have different motives and views on this issue and are thus unable to come to a consensus. There is clearly a point of difference between the two countries as USA has “made clear to the Iranians that any talks we participate in must address the nuclear issue head on, while the Iranians offered "comprehensive" talks, but did not mention its nuclear programme. As the discussion between the two countries has not been very successful the USA has now involved the P5+1 countries in this matter. They have already formed a preconceived notion towards the Iranians and believe that they are secretly developing nuclear weapons although Iran denies the fact. These countries, which consist of the UK, China, France, Russia , the US and Germany have been declared as countries having their own nuclear weapon resources and share the same ideas about managing them. They expect to have serious and factual discussion with Iran regarding the nuclear issue and believe they can come to terms “in that face-to-face venue.” There is vast difference in the ideologies of the nations and as the P5=1 countries share similar views; they have already formed a negative opinion about Iran while forming a collaboration amongst themselves. They have adopted an attitude of hypocrisy by stating that Iran has no rights to nuclear weapons and that it may use it for wrong purposes, while they themselves refuse to discard their nuclear weapons. This is their biased perspective, but when viewed from a neutral point of view it is wrong to assume that Iran may misuse the weapons while the other countries may not. Although the opinion of the Western countries is not justified, the fact still remains that Iran is noncommittal and refuses to talk about the nuclear issues, which at this time, is of their prime concern. Looking at it from Iran’s point of view, America is a danger to other countries as earlier it has previously attacked Iraq due to its oil monopoly issues, and thus it fears that it could do something same in case of Iran. Thus, the countries share totally different perspectives and refuse to co operate. The past histories they have shared, and reputations they have acquired globally also stand as an obstacle, preventing them from instilling faith and trust in each other. The countries lack transparency and open mindedness. Iran has to be more open and co operative while US and the P5+1 should abstain from prejudice and bias to enable a smooth progress of this issue.
