World powers reached a framework deal with Tehran which should pave the way for the resolution of the major security crisis.
The P5+1 have passed their self-imposed March 31st deadline for reaching an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, but they’re continuing to work on the issue in order to reach a long-awaited deal. The controversy over Iran’s nuclear program has carried on for over a decade already, and in the meantime, its drawn hysterical regional reactions from Israel and Saudi Arabia, the US’ closest Mideast allies, which publicly fear that Washington will reach an agreement with Tehran.
In an article entitled “Why Obama chose the Iran talks to take one of the biggest risks of his presidency”, Greg Jaffe from The Washington Post writes that:
“The president’s desire to keep negotiating reflects both the importance he has placed on the talks and his particular view of how American leadership, persistence and engagement with determined enemies can change the world. Obama often talks about moments in which American leadership can “bend the arc of human history.” An Iran accord represents exactly such an opportunity, as well as one of the most risky foreign policy gambles of his presidency.”
