Nuclear Agreement: President Rouhani not the Major Problem

http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/iran-lawmakers-pass-bill-to-protect-nuclear-programme-115062301296_1.html

The Iranian Parliament has just passed a bill to continue its nuclear programme.  The legislation completes disregards the international nuclear talks that are occurring between international leaders with President Rouhani.  I agree with Iranian Vice-President Majid Ansari that the Iranian Parliament should not be creating legislation that has nothing to do with them.  The nuclear issue is one that President Rouhani should deal with rather than parliament.  President Rouhani is looking out for his people and his state by working towards an agreement with international leaders because he wants Iran to be able to trade with other nations to boost their economy.  The conservative hardliners do not care about the economic well-being of the nation and the people.  Instead they care about making a religious and political point.  They do not want to associate with west nor let the west have  a say in their military and nuclear developments.  

However, those hardliners do not understand that they will not have a country to govern if the economy fails, there is war, or the people revolting.  So they need to consider what is best for themselves as welll, which an international agreement is better.  

The international agreement is better because this will lift the sanctions against Iran.  Iran will be allowed to build capital through trade, which will improve their economy.  On the other hand, if a nuclear agreement is prevented then the people will have increased economic hardship, which will increase the protesting and may cause an outright revolt.  Furthermore, if they are actually developing nuclear weapons, then there may be an agreement to invade Iran and put an end to their program forcefully.  Which will still result in Iran going into turmoil  therefore the conservatives will not have a people to control.

Iran Negotiations

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/ayatollah-ali-khamenei-iran-nuclear-deal-116799.html


Hello, I definitely have not posted on here for awhile, which is largely due to school.  A few days ago I found an interesting article on Politico about negotiations with Iran.  As some of you may know Iran, United States, and other countries are having negotiations with Iran so that Iran has relief from sanctions and the international community to inspect and control nuclear sites and materials.  However, there is a current problem in regards to the negotiations, it seems that they are at odds once again with each other.  In addition, Ayatollah Khamenei is blaming the United States again for being deceptive.  He acts as if the politicians in Iran are not attempting to be deceptive nor is he attempting to be deceptive towards the others involved in the negotiations.  Iran can also be deceptive towards negotiating countries.  Ayatollah Khamenei acts like they are a perfect and righteous country and that there politicians are completely honest. 

Politics is a gray field and in the end politicians are going to look for the best deal for their own countries.  Iran has no right to claim that the United States are the only ones being deceptive when they are too.  Iran really need to get over themselves.
