Iran and UN’s Chapter VII 'Iron Dome'.


Iran and UN’s Chapter VII 'Iron Dome'. (Taz).

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said any possible deal between Iran and the world powers over Tehran’s nuclear program would likely be confirmed by a resolution under the UN’s Chapter VII to turn into an international and binding deal for all sides.

He made the statements in an interview with Iran's “Seda” (Voice) weekly.

It seems that Iran is not only serious in its nuclear talks with the P5+1 group but also is cleverly looking for ways to oblige them to observe the contents of a comprehensive nuclear deal in the coming years.

A group of 47 Republican senators have released an open letter, dated March 9 to Iran’s leaders warning them that any nuclear deal they sign with President Barack Obama's administration won’t last after Obama leaves office if the agreement is not ratified by Congress.

Any resolution under Chapter VII of the United Nations would provide the P5+1 member states with an opportunity to clinch a deal with Iran because based on the resolution the parliaments of these countries could not veto their government’s decision to sign the deal. So, they have no way but to implement the nuclear agreement.

Any resolution being issued under the UN”s Chapter VII is legally binding and authorizes diplomatic sanctions or even a military option.

The resolution will also prevent Israel to carry out military action against Iran or to provoke Western powers to attack the country.


The letter from the the U.S. senators shows that the recent visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States was relatively fruitful. Just two days ago, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius echoed Netanyahu’s words saying he is against a ‘bad deal’ with Iran. Hmmm.....If anything this means Israel will have to act before a 'deal' is cemented in Chapter VII.
