[Iran IAEA nuclear weapons] With all the bombing and aggressive posturing America and Israel are engaging in towards Iran, one would think that the building of a nuclear weapon would be common sense for the leaders of Iran. Geopolitical Analysts all over the world deeply understand that America and the Collective West will only respect the sovereignty of a country if it either goes along with its agenda or bows down to their wishes and becomes a vassal state like Japan. However, in the case of Iran it seems that the Iranian leadership has either failed to understand how America and the Collective West operates or are hesitant to “press the trigger” on what they know would be the inevitable – and that is destruction. This destruction that we are speaking of will undoubtedly adversely affect both sides.

But whether both sides would experience destruction, one can't help but wonder when the day will come when Iran says, “enough is enough” and really decides to fight back against America and Israel in the region. At this point with 66,000 dead Palestinians, the weakening of Hezbollah, the somewhat stagnation of Hamas and the Axis of Resistance in general; the only true weapon of deterrence that’s left is a nuclear weapon. No one knows the power of deterrence when it comes to nuclear weapons better than North Korea. While America and the Collective West often openly mocks North Korea, they also know not to take it too far because of North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un’s willingness to press the big red nuclear button.

Granted every country's needs, wants, and desires as well as their constraints are different, but when it comes to nuclear weapons and deterrence, the more things change over time the more they tend to stay the same. Our advice at VEDA World News is for Iran to immediately cease all cooperation with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and to stop allowing its inspectors to come into its country. Failure to do so makes Iran look like a child who’s a misfit that needs consistent monitoring on the international stage. Secondly, Iran should also formally withdraw from the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) which they signed earlier this month.

Keep in mind that not only did America effortlessly pulled out of the last agreement they signed and so can you, but the United Nations just reimposed snapback sanctions yesterday. The leadership of Iran's idea that if they fully cooperate with both the IAEA and abide by the NPT “then things would get better” boils down to faulty logic. Keep in mind that America and the Collective West doesn’t “think” like you do and perceives your willingness to compromise with them as weakness.

It is also our position here at VEDA World News that Iran needs some younger and more progressive leadership than it currently has. It seems that although the world has evolved geopolitical into the multi-polar world that we have today, the Iranian leadership has failed to keep itself abreast with these evolutionary changes by opting for the deployment of antiquated methods of diplomacy and ineffective militaristic approaches and applications that would cause nations that oppose it to caution their words and actions.

Our message to the Iranian leadership is simple. Stop trying to diplomatically befriend countries like America and Israel because they will never like or accept you. Instead, we advise the Iranian leadership to “call a spade a spade” and deal with the reality of things head on. For if the Iran leadership doesn’t, it will find itself in deeper trouble than it is sooner rather than later.
