With the Iran Nuclear Deal almost becoming his personal crusade, is US Secretary of State John Kerry really desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize?
By: Ringo Bones
Ever since being appointed as the 68th State
Secretary of the United States, it seems that John Kerry’s failed bid for the
US presidency back in 2004 no longer registers on the consciousness of the
general public. But as of late, the Iran Nuclear Deal seems to become John
Kerry’s cause célèbre / stepping stone to winning the Nobel Peace Prize by
setting it into overdrive during the last few months. With the US Republican
Party’s foreign policy forever based on that Orson Wells Nostradamus
documentary only saw the current Iran Nuclear Deal as “disastrous” for the
future of the United States.
Three deadlines have already passed yet Kerry is not giving
up given that the sanctions issues are what is primarily holding up the deal.
Despite the state of Israel’s (or is it the Netanyahu administration’s?)
assessment that Iran is only 3 months away from building its own nuclear
device, it seems that the rest of the world is on John Kerry’s side when it
comes to formulating the latest Iran Nuclear Deal.
Is a potential nuclear deal a bitter pill for Iran’s supreme
leader or should Iran’s mullahs maintain separation of their religious ideology
with the pragmatic nature of the deal? Well, if the latest deal comes to pass –
which it just recently did a few days ago – Iran will gain access to billions
of dollars worth of trade deals which it was currently denied due to sanctions.
Hours after the approval of the deal, global crude oil prices dropped in
anticipation of a greater access to Iranian crude. According to US President Barack
Obama, the recently approved deal has already cut-off Iran’s pathway to acquire
a nuclear device for military use. As a safeguard, sanctions will automatically
be reinstated whenever proofs of violations are found by the International
Atomic Energy Agency. Maybe John Kerry will win his Nobel Peace Prize after
all.
