US President Donald Trump’s brokered nuclear deal between the US and Saudi Arabia poses more danger to world peace at the behest of sectarian interests that propel the international community dangerously closer to a world war.
The news of this selfish and careless deal — replete with arrogance of power and might — will highly likely trigger an arms race not only throughout Asia and the Middle East but also across a world order so desperately thirsting for peaceful coexistence.
From the outset, the deal is shrouded in predictable controversy and anxiety alike. It is struck at a time of escalating conflict between the US and Iran and at a great cost to the global economy.
President Trump and his GOP base insist that their bombardment of Iran — happening this week for more than a dozen consecutive days — is premised on Washington’s unwavering stance that Iran must not, nay, will never have a nuclear weapon.
Paraphrased, Iran will never be allowed to develop nuclear power, not even for civilian use, as Tehran “cannot be trusted”.
