Iran is a pivotal country in the region — and even in the world — which the West is striving with all its might to confine within its own borders.
This reality is clearly visible today in the confrontation over Iran’s nuclear rights, and the persistent question remains:
Do the benefits of possessing nuclear capability outweigh the continuous pressure and harm inflicted on Iran by the West?
In addressing this question, the fundamental dimension of Iran’s nuclear right has been examined, and reference has also been made to the role Iran can play within BRICS — and the role BRICS can play for Iran.
Since the inauguration of the United Nations and the establishment of the post WWII World Order, Iran participated in all international instances as founder and shareholder! Iran is one of the First Nations at the moment of forming the UN and it’s subsidiaries like UNESCO, etc and is one of the first shareholders of the International Monetary Fund and right now represents 6 countries in IMF; Iran hosted the first ever global climate protection conference in the Ramsar City in Iran which later became COP! Iran was the only country of the region which was planned to play a dominant role in the Post World War II World Order by forming CENTO, buying a huge share of EURODIFF and agreeing with Americans, Germans and Frenchs to have civil nuclear program and so on… This is what Iran agreed with the winners of WWII for itself! If you remember, Iran planned to buy the German Mercedes Company to transfer its automotive technologies to Iran and the Region; Iran also had the only Concorde-compatible airport in the region to be the regional hub for the Global Village, connecting London-Paris to Kish Island in Iran then to Tokyo!
But… Iranian culture urges tolerance and Justice regarding local and global events! The Iran’s monarch had closed his eyes on Palestine and established political ties with Zionism! Iranians contested this decision but Shah continued on its own direction backed by US as like as what you see actually in Abraham Accords approach regarding Muslim monarchies! As Israelis increased their crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, Iranians were more concerned and contested the Ruler’s decisions and made an Islamic Revolution where the regional course changed and not only all agreements refused by World Order Keepers but sanctions and wars began against the Islamic Republic! Not only because of a National Revolution but for the new Republic model which was born at the heart of Muslim Monarchies!!! Iran chose the path of Iranian nation instead of injustices imposed by monarchs and World Order Keepers! Good to notice that the Iranians inspired their Revolution from the Brave Algerian Nation whom changed the Global course regarding colonizers and Dr Ali Shariati played an imminent role among both nations!
Since the Iranian Revolution, Iran is continuing the same path of participating in International instances despite of irregularities and wars imposed to him.
Actually the nuclear power not only is a delayed duty of western nations regarding Iran which is refused deliberately but is a local technology owned by Iranians under the most powerful sanctions regime and Iranians not only develop this technology but are determined to realize the nuclear deterrence, although Iran was the first country to propose a Free Nuclear Weapon Mid-East 50 years ago!!! The primitive question is that if Iran had the nuclear power, does Saddam dares to impose 8 years of war with so much casualties to our nation?! And if Iran was a nuclear power, does Israel dares to plan a cinematic attack on our nation?!
We are aware of global risks since our changing course’s impacts on our region and we know that NATO’s illegal activities are threatening us constantly! Good to know that NATO is a Regional Légitime Defense Organization under the 7th Chapter of the UN Charter but since 2000 is functioning as a Global Order Keeper under the 8th Chapter of UN Charter without any authorization from UN and UN Security Council with a fictional “Preemptive Strike” arbitrary justification! NATO permanent UNSC members decide as per their own interest and expired order and strike wherever they want to and this is why the Nuclear Power is inevitable for a multi-millennial Iranian Nation which obtains the most long-lasting established governance of the entire world and seeks a fair global order advocating the global south, believing in Brotherhood, Justice and Goodwill in an upgraded Global Order which is being realized in the BRICS+ framework!
