Obviously, the wiser part of the US elite that exercises their foreign policy, understands the evident: The fact that they have to 'approach' Iran, confuting their own previous standings, since only the deaf and the blind will ignore the BRICS, the AIIB and the rest of the emerging various other forms of co-operations , partnerships , economic agreements etc.
Any intimate 'rapprochement' between the emerging Eastern Economies and Iran , even if there presently exist competitive rivalries on some matters or products, will, in the coming future , render the US status weaker and US more isolated.This they need to avert. Same holds for EU as we see coming into sight in media.
Question raised is , what would be better for Humanity's peaceful and harmonious survival and sustenance, what would be firm and correct for Iran itself, what would enhance the BRICS ( et al) flourishing and longevity to the benefit of those nations involved. m.l.p.
The
European Union (EU) foreign policy chief has highlighted Iran’s role in
the region, saying it would be "naive" to ignore the Islamic republic.
Speaking to reporters at UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday, Federica Mogherini called on Iran to play a more positive and active role in the region, particularly with respect to the ongoing crisis in Syria.
The UN is to host a new round of talks with warring sides in Syria in the Swiss city of Geneva in May in a bid to put an end to more than four years of conflict in the Arab country.
On Friday, UN spokesman Ahmad Fawzi told journalists that invitations had been sent out to all parties who could help end the crisis, including different Syrian factions as well as regional and international players.
He said Iran, which was absent in previous negotiations in Switzerland, has been invited to the talks as well.
Previous UN-mediated talks on Syria have failed to work out a solution to end the conflict, which has plagued the Arab country for more than four years.
Also touching on negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, the senior EU official said that Tehran and the P5+1 countries were moving forward with finalizing a final agreement. "I'm confident that we can proceed with the good work," she added.
The latest round of talks between representatives of Iran and the P5+1 group - the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany - ended in Vienna, Austria, on April 24. During the three-day talks, the participants started drafting the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) based upon a mutual understanding reached in Lausanne, Switzerland, on April 2..
Iran and its negotiating partners are now working to finalize the details of a final deal.
