This world has become treacherous. Here values have become meaningless, rules and laws are made to be violated, everyone from an individual to a state seems to be concerned about their own interests only. Hunger to come to the power and stay there on the top has become such an addiction that people can go to any extend to protect their position and anything which they find comes in their way is uprooted ruthlessly. Petty issues are turned into point of prestige so much so that later on it becomes difficult for them to get over it, given the environment created by media and pressure from oppositions. In this hostile, turbulent and jungle like situation, if we see some responsible people representing their respective countries sitting and talking in civilized way to resolve the difference and misunderstanding between them and some conclusion is also drawn then it is something that needs to be appreciated. Yes, I am talking about the recent deal which took place between Iran and P5+1 nations (Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States) on 24th of November, 2013 at Geneva. The deal which started with a presentation prepared by Iranians under the title “Closing Unnecessary Crises, Opening New Horizons” and was termed “very useful” by EU foreign policy Chief Catherine Ashton. Every rational mind will agree with the fact that this interim deal will help in building confidence and increase transparency, but at the same time some paranoids, losers and warmongers will try to be-little the efforts of negotiators and will term the deal as “historical mistake”. Such elements and voices need to be ignored and moved on. If one tries to analyze the deal through the lense of profit and loss, he gets disappointed, as this deal has created win like situation for all the genuine stake holders. A) Stopping the enrichment of Uranium beyond 5% may give some relief to “world powers” who suspect Iran’s nuclear programme is aiming at developing a nuclear bomb, but at the same time for Iran who has consistently denied the charge, the deal has earned them the license for enrichment of Uranium to be used for power production which they have been saying all these years and which is their right. That is what Iranian president Dr. Ruhani must have meant when he said “ No matter what interpretation is given, Iran’s right to enrichment has been recognized” B) No more economic sanctions on Iran and grant of $7Bn will relieve Iranian common people from economic crunch and may improve the situation of Iranian markets but by the end it is the world’s major producers who will get benefited, be it through the import of medicine into Iran or the spare parts for airplanes etc. C) Granting access to IAEA inspectors is not new for Iran. Being a signatory to NPT, Iran has been open to such inspections in past also. This time granting access to inspectors to Natanz and Fordo will renew Iran’s commitment to NPT and will earn her the trust of “world powers”, thereby ease the tension which seems to be completely logical and fair. It is perhaps because of this win – win nature of deal that UK Foreign Secretary William Hague termed the deal as “good news for the whole world" and Mohammad Javed Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister was given a title of “Ambassador of peace” back home in Iran.
