From Tehran, Tarja Cronberg discusses whether the Iran nuclear deal can be saved and what this could mean for Europe.
The collapse of the deal threatens the future of nuclear diplomacy and the credibility of European foreign and security policy. Creative solutions to counteract US sanctions must be found as the 60 day deadline approaches.
Dr Tarja Cronberg, member of the Executive Board of the ELN, argues that even if the JCPOA doesn’t unravel straight away, the EU and the US are on the opposing sides of the dispute.
Dr Cronberg, member of the Executive Board of the ELN, discusses the polarization between the states with nuclear weapons and those without in the context of the recent adoption by 122 nations of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
Dr Cronberg, member of the Executive Board of the ELN, argues that instead of focusing on the 2017 ban treaty negotiations, efforts should be channelled towards agreeing on a treaty prohibiting the development, manufacture, possession and use of nuclear weapons as verifiable international convention.
As the Iranian Parliamentary elections approach, Tarja Cronberg argues that the EU should seize the opportunity for a diplomatic opening with Tehran.
