Iran-US Nuclear Deal: Nuclear deal between Iran and America can be announced any time. After Qatar’s mediation, Pakistan’s activism and Trump’s statement, the turmoil in the Middle East has intensified. Know the major terms of the agreement and the full inside story.
The politics of the Middle East once again appears to be at a turning point. Diplomatic activities have intensified from Tehran to Washington and there are indications that the long-pending nuclear deal between Iran and America may now be moving towards a conclusion. The new draft proposal prepared between the two countries has sparked a new discussion in international politics.
According to sources, Iran has received the draft proposal sent by America and it is being reviewed in Tehran. The special thing is that Qatar has played an important role in preparing this entire draft. This is the reason why Qatar’s diplomatic activity in the Gulf region seems to have suddenly increased.
Political turmoil increased in Tehran
According to reports, Pakistan Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi reached Tehran on Wednesday and met top leaders of Iran there. This meeting is not being considered just a normal diplomatic visit, but is being linked to a possible nuclear deal. Meanwhile, news also surfaced in Iranian media that Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir is also likely to visit Tehran. This clearly indicates that Pakistan is also trying to play an important role in this entire incident at the regional level.

What is America’s new draft proposal?
According to Arabic media reports, this proposal has been prepared in the form of a “memorandum” rather than a detailed treaty. It is believed that this is a short format to create initial consensus, so that both the parties can first agree on the basic issues. Experts believe that if an agreement is reached at the initial level, detailed face-to-face talks can be held between the two countries after Haj. Hajj is going to end by the end of this month, so the coming few weeks are considered very important.
What did Trump say?
US President Trump, while answering the questions of journalists on Wednesday, said that the final discussion has not yet taken place on the manner in which the agreement will be announced. However, he did not directly deny these reports. This statement of Trump is being seen as a diplomatic signal. Experts believe that America is currently avoiding revealing much publicly, so that the talks are not affected.
Why did Qatar become the most important player?
According to the report of American media outlet Axios, Qatar has played a central role in preparing this draft. Qatar has been trying to establish itself as a mediator in the Middle East for a long time and this time too the same strategy is visible. It is being told that Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani himself is monitoring this process. Qatar is trying to find a way to reduce regional tension by keeping in mind the minimum conditions of both Iran and America.
After all, where is the whole matter stuck?
Many major differences still remain between America and Iran regarding the nuclear deal. Three main demands of America are being put forward-
Main terms of America
- Iran should publicly declare that it will never make nuclear weapons.
- Iran should transfer its enriched uranium to US or international monitoring.
- Iran should limit or eliminate its proxy networks operating in the Gulf region.
Iran’s demands
- Iran wants its missile program to be kept out of the talks.
- Tehran is trying to get international recognition for its control and toll system on the Strait of Hormuz.
- America should lift economic sanctions on Iran.
- Iranian funds frozen abroad should be returned.
Will tension reduce in the Middle East?
If this agreement is successful, its impact will not be limited to just Iran and America. This may affect the political and economic situation of the entire Middle East. This will have a direct impact on the oil market, Gulf security, Israel-Iran tension and global energy supply. Experts believe that at present both the countries are showing a tough stance in public, but behind the scenes the ground for agreement has been prepared. Now everyone’s eyes are on Iran’s official response and subsequent possible announcement.
