US, Iran Near Nuclear Deal

The diplomatic saga that is the Iran nuclear deal may finally be entering its closing chapter with expectations of an imminent breakthrough growing as Washington and Tehran responded to a “final” European Union proposal that would ease sanctions on Iran’s economy, including oil exports, in return for scaling back its advancing atomic program.

Thought's of President: Much rests on what Tehran’s leaders will be willing to accept and forgo. However, President Ebrahim Raisi insisted on Monday that any deal would be meaningless before resolving an onerous investigation into the Islamic Republic’s past nuclear work. Iran’s political establishment is used to parrying economic uncertainty and spiraling inflation but the recent surge in food prices has pressured the country’s middle and working classes. The clerics in Tehran are acutely aware of the huge impact US sanctions relief can have on their tattered economy and popularity.


Effects: Before this agreement, Iran's breakout time, or the time it would have taken for Iran to gather enough fissile material to build a weapon was only two to three months. Today, because of the Iran deal, it would take Iran 12 months or more. And with the unprecedented monitoring and access this deal puts in place, if Iran tries, we will know and sanctions will snap back into place.

The U.S. and the international community can begin the next phase under the JCPOA, which means the U.S. will begin lifting its nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. However, a number of U.S. sanctions authorities and designations will continue to remain in place.

What if they try to build a nuclear program in secret: That’s why this deal is so important. Under the new nuclear deal, Iran has committed to extraordinary and robust monitoring, verification, and inspection. International inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will not only be continuously monitoring every element of Iran’s declared nuclear program, but they will also be verifying that no fissile material is covertly carted off to a secret location to build a bomb. And if IAEA inspectors become aware of a suspicious location, Iran has agreed to implement the Additional Protocol to their IAEA Safeguards Agreement, which will allow inspectors to access and inspect any site they deem suspicious. Such suspicions can be triggered by holes in the ground that could be uranium mines, intelligence reports, unexplained purchases, or isotope alarms.

What's in it for you: Even Though Iran will have control over the Nuclear Program, from the minute materials that could be used for a weapon come out of the ground to the minute it is shipped out of the country, the IAEA will have eyes on it and anywhere Iran could try and take it.

Topic: International Trade  What is in it for you:  Of the 6,000 plant species humans have eaten over time, the world now mostly eats nine, of which just three —  rice, wheat, and maize —  provide 50% of all calories . The cheaper the food gets, and the lower the imports from the government, the dependence on the above-mentioned crops rises and given with it the dependence on a few select countries . In addition to that, people now have diets with more fats and carbohydrates, and fewer nutrients.  Effects:  The UN estimates soaring costs will push 71 million people globally below the poverty line .  Global crop yields could fall about 30% because of climate change, while food demand is expected to jump 50% in the coming decades, according to United Nations estimates.

The Winter is Coming

The Oil and gas from Russia are exceptionally essential for serving the winter in Europe. After all, even Hitler succumbed to it.  Causes -  The diesel which is used for generating electricity is now available in historically low amounts in North-Western Europe, so much so that by this November, an energy crisis, including blackouts and lack of fuel and electricity for large-scale industries is extremely essential. Adding to his discussion is the large-scale drying up of the Rhine (river in Germany), which supplies and transports all the diesel in Europe. The forecast of this news is so gloomy, that this river which controls trades over 80 billion USD will stop. Effects - Adding to this the already food shortages in Europe due to the war, the survival of the poorest will be challenging in the coming months. The signs of relief from the Western Superpower are low because they are themselves dealing with extreme inflation (CPI peaked at 0.2% in June).  What is in it for you - Well in mac
