But the new prime minister’s recent rhetoric about moving the British embassy in Israel to Jerusalem may have to be abandoned.
But the new prime minister’s recent rhetoric about moving the British embassy in Israel to Jerusalem may have to be abandoned.
There are three likely explanations, most with an interest in getting the UK a geopolitical upper hand.
The E3 appears committed to making the US return to the Iran nuclear deal as difficult as possible
Boris Johnson should follow Joe Biden’s lead on Yemen if he wants his ‘Global Britain’ agenda to have any credibility.
The E3 should urge a resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue that takes note of the facts and provides context to current events.
A forward-looking question to ask amid the current crisis is: will the inevitable highlighting of government’s necessary role in the crisis lead to greater recognition of the necessity of that role at other times?
After a series of rows, and with more coming, the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council should convene a summit to contain their differences.
The E3’s decision to trigger the Dispute Resolution Mechanism of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal could spell the end of that agreement.
The E3 decision to trigger the Dispute Resolution Mechanism looks more like an attempt to shift the blame for its own impotence onto Iran rather than a necessary act of last resort to save the JCPOA.
Triggering the Iran nuclear deal’s dispute mechanism is an assertive move by the E3, but it is also a gamble that could save or sink the agreement.
