The Iran Nuclear Negotiation Case Study
QUIZ A
The Iranian Nuclear Negotiation is a multi-party negotiation deal between the P5 + 1 and Iran. This negotiation is about the nuclear program Iran has been undergoing, hence the enrichment of uranium to percentages capable for the use of nuclear weapons. The most recent negotiation was held in Switzerland, on a neutral ground. The P5+1 of the UN consists of the six strongest countries in the world; China, Russia, United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany. These six countries have been in negotiation deals since 2006 and now an agreement must be reached by 30th June which is the time constraint. The P5+1 party is being led by the United States of America ( "Iran parliament to review ties with U.N. nuclear body, 2011).

Characterization frame is noticed on the part of the Supreme Islamic ruler who in no subtle way implied the US as bade fate negotiators for that reason he does not support the deal until it has been sealed for the details of the negotiation could turn against Iran. Power framing is seen on the part of the US Congress since they have the full backing of the P5+1 and the UN as a whole and can decide to put up new sanctions on Iran if need be. In process framing, a sit down negotiation process was adopted against violence to settle issues and for loss versus gain framing, Iran has more to lose and hence would have to comply with all details of the negotiation (Lewicki, Barry, & Saunders, …show more content…
In this negotiation since 2006, the non-verbal communication used is the sanctioning of Iran, which sends a clear message. The most used mode of communication was verbal in a face to face communication channel.
In my opinion, what is been done well is the initial agreement for there to be a negotiation and also the fact that there is no threat of violence so far. Another is the total availability of information to the general public as to what is happening in the negotiation for it is the people of Iran and the rest of the world who are the “hidden parties”. What I feel is not good is the stereotype of the US being bad fate negotiators and the Congress using coercive power to bully the Iranians with threats of putting up new sanctions (Karimi & Walsh,

    The United States and other western powers, as well as Israel, must carefully consider how to proceed with MEK relationships. The organization has shown a history of changing allies in order to advance its goals, making it predictable in the sense that they can be counted on to do whatever it takes to survive and take control of the Iranian government. To brush MEK aside may mean dealing with a nuclear armed Iran later, and to support MEK may mean dealing with a provoked Iran now. No matter the decision, each carries its own implications for U.S. foreign policy. Washington must ultimately decide between the lesser of two…

    Iran, as it stated and signed in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, that it would not proliferate while having the right to peacefully use nuclear technology i.e. using nuclear power to generate heat and electricity. Along with signing this treaty Iran along with other signatories received some privileges from the NTP leaders done by providing alternative means of protecting members’ security – namely, enhanced access to conventional arms. However, the issue arose that Iran had secretly, over the past many years; Evidence uncovered by the International Atomic Energy Agency over the past 9 years demonstrates that Iran’s leaders covertly resumed their quest for sensitive nuclear technology during the decade long Iran-Iraq war. This quest continued even after that war, while the Iranians insist that their strife to have a nuclear weapons program is for peaceful purposes only. Although there are many other reasons that would inspire the Iranians to acquire nuclear powers speaking in terms of international affairs. Especially since their biggest “enemy” Israel had not signed the NPT thus excluding them from the obligation not to have nuclear weapons caused a big threat to Iranians, also that the U.S. has these weapons and since relations between the Iranians and them aren’t peachy keen either, Iran would probably feel safer in the international scope and more self reliant if it had nuclear weapons. This entire operation did not sit well with the U.S. who considers Iran to be a major adversary and a cause of danger in the world, especially in the east.…

    For most Americans, the story begins in 1979 with the Iranian Hostage Crisis, when a group of revolutionary university students took over the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran, and held 52 American diplomats, intelligence officers and Marines hostage for 444 days. But for most Iranians, and to fully understand the repercussions of this aforementioned event, the story begins almost three decades prior, in 1953. This was the year that the United States overthrew the recently established democracy in Iran, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh. He had become very popular in the country for having the ambition to finally take advantage of the wealth that Iran needed to grow by nationalizing his country’s oil supply, which was for the previous 50 years under the control of the British Petroleum company. By proving that Mossadegh’s regime was relying on the communist party of Iran for power, and in turn not wanting to lose Iran as an ally in the Cold War against the Soviet Union, England was able to persuade the U.S. to assist in engineering a coup d’état against the new Iranian democracy and return Iran to its previous Pahlavi dynasty. Through what was named “Operation Ajax”, the CIA and MI6 reinstalled the Shah and instituted a pro-U.S. dictatorship of Iran that was willing to comply to Western interests in regards to the vast oil supply that the “British and American corporations had controlled the bulk of almost since their discovery” 1.…

    In Early-August of this year, the Obama administration airlifted $400 million in cash to Iran, the very same day four Americans imprisoned in Tehran were released, sparking questions as to if the cash payment was a negotiation with terrorists (PBS, 2016, p. 1). In January of this year, the Obama administration did announce these payments as “the money was owed as part of a failed arms deal prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution” (PBS, 2016, p. 1). However, many are wondering why the payment took almost nine months to pay out and why it was on the exact day four American prisoners were released (PBS, 2016, p. 1). It appears as if the Obama Administration was negotiating with terrorists even though they deliberately stated they were not (PBS, 2016, p. 1).…

    Currently the US and its allies are attempting to convince Iran to give up its significant nuclear activities in exchange for relief on sanctions. Under such a negotiation, Tehran would be subjected to more vigorous inspections. If the agreement is violated, the sanctions relief would be subject to reinstatement. Currently, the exact sum which would be given for relief is unknown (Madhani). Next week, the US, Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany will meet with Iranian officials in Geneva (Al Jazeera). However, Iran has expressed wariness due to the recent attacks on their embassy in Beirut. The series of bombings led to the deaths of two Iranians, one of them a diplomat. Currently, Iran has accused Israel of launching the attacks (Yahoo! News). These events will certainly factor into the US relationship with both Israel and…
