Trump’s sensational claim that Iran has agreed not to make nuclear weapons, has the catastrophe looming over the world been averted:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst the raging fire of the ongoing war in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump has made a claim which has shocked the entire world. Trump has announced that Iran has finally agreed to the condition of not making ‘nuclear weapons’. This is a U-turn in this decades-long dispute, which can not only stop the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, but can also change the direction of global politics. After this claim of Trump, the stir in the international diplomatic corridors has intensified.

Trump’s ‘masterstroke’ or diplomatic pressure?

The US President indicated through social media and media briefings that his administration’s ‘maximum pressure’ and the recent round of talks have forced Iran to give up its stubbornness. Trump said, “Iran has understood that its insistence on making nuclear weapons can completely destroy it. They now want a new agreement that is better for their country’s future and global peace.” Although, no official ‘signed’ document on this has been revealed yet, but Trump’s confidence is pointing towards great success.

Iran’s helplessness and Israel’s stance

Defense experts believe that Iran’s deteriorating economy and the fear of increasing attacks by Israel on its nuclear sites may have forced it to come to the negotiating table. If Iran really agrees to stop its nuclear program, then in return it could get freedom from tough economic sanctions imposed by Western countries. On the other hand, Israel is still in a state of ‘wait and watch’. Israeli intelligence agencies are trying to verify this claim whether this is indeed a change of heart by Iran or just a new ploy to kill time.

What does this mean for India and the world?

If this claim turns into reality, its consequences will be far-reaching.

Crude Oil Prices: Due to peace in the Gulf region, there may be a huge fall in the prices of petrol and diesel, which will bring great relief to India.

Global Market: A tremendous boom can be seen in the stock markets because the threat of ‘Third World War’ will be averted to a great extent.

Strategic Balance: Improvement in relations between America and Iran will change the security strategy of entire Asia and Europe. The world is now waiting for Iran’s official response and United Nations (UN) confirmation.
