Today I read an article in the sun about the current development of the Iran crisis. Actually there is nothing new. The world community calls on Iran to stop enrichment of uranium, Iran signaled willingness to negotiate. The negotiations have as always, no result and the game starts from the beginning. Somehow strange that both sides repeat this ritual several times. In my opinion, it is obviously that Iran attempts to win time, while EU and other countries trying to negotiate with the mullah regime and solve the conflict with “European diplomacy”. I am of the opinion that it would be useful, to build for Iran for free a few nuclear power plants, which are working on the heavy water. These nuclear power plants work very efficiently and are completely inappropriate for building an atomic bomb. As far as I know, the U.S. built such power plants for North Korea. The North Korean government has declared to be ready to stop further nuclear weapons research.
If the government of Iran does not really want to build nuclear weapons, it will accept such an offer. Otherwise, I see no arguments against the very tough sanctions. The conflict can’t be resolved with weapons. The example of Iraq show us well how bad this idea are. Therefore, there is just one solution: a complete economic and political isolation. I am afraid, however, that isolation of Iran is simply impossible, because Iran is an interest zone of Russia and China. China needs a lot of raw materials and therefore very easy to win for Iran as ally or protector, because Iran has oil and gas. Russia is interested in sale a weapons to Iran. In addition, Russia has a dream of an organization on the example of OPEC for a coordinated sale of gas and Iran is a part of russian plans. Vicious circle?
