Bilateral meetings regarding Iran's emerging Nuclear program


The United States and Iran are due to sit down and discuss the importance of diplomacy as Iranian Nuclear weapons gain legitimacy throughout the international community. The meetings kicked off last month between the U.S, Iran and six other world powers, hosted in Vienna. The so called "P5+1" process hit rough water when all countries represented felt the others had deeply unrealistic demands for negotiations, one including limiting Tehran's nuclear development in exchanged for dropped sanctions. 

I was happily surprised to see myself reading about such negotiations with new insight into the remarkable complexities that are apart of making bilateral decision, with the agreement of all parties participating needed to succeed. The Global Simulation (on top of being an engaging and enjoyable activity) provided me with some serious insight into the difficulty of any negotiation, let alone those involving Nuclear weapons and the argument of proliferation.
