The fight between capitalism and communism is dead in the water. There is a new framework for the ‘multilateral world order’ – terrorism versus security. It’s a great opportunity for nations to play their power game – blame each other of exporting terror, threaten one another with belligerent rhetoric, and use covert operations to attack, and find allies who side with them.
The Iran nuclear deal is a point in case.
Signed by the P5, the EU, and Iran, this international agreement, unanimously endorsed by a UN resolution, ‘cuts off Iran’s pathways to fissile material for a nuclear weapon and sets out a transparent process for vigorous inspections.’ In exchange, it removes nuclear-related international sanctions on Iran, allowing it to trade with other countries.
The US – then under the Obama administration, France, Germany, Russia, China, New Zealand, the EU, and the United Kingdom, hailed this deal as the ‘triumph of diplomacy and cooperation over confrontation and mistrust.’
However, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the Iran nuclear deal. “This deal doesn’t make peace more likely. By fuelling Iran’s aggression with billions of dollars in sanctions relief, it makes war more likely,” he said, addressing the 70th session of the UN General Assembly.
