Summary/Abstract |
Over the last two and a half years, negotiators from P5+1 and Iran are trying to reach out a diplomatic solution on the issue of nuclearisation of Iran. The motive behind such an arrangement had been to ensure that Iran’s nuclear ambition remains exclusively peaceful in harmony with the international non-proliferation principles. Iran too, wanted to break out from the shackles of sanctions that had limited its global commerce in the past years. With the conclusion of a nuclear agreement in Vienna, it is expected that Iran will not pursue actions to develop nuclear weapons, at least in the immediate future. Nevertheless, implementation of the agreement requires walking down an even more complicated path than negotiation and is considered to have significant implications for the Middle Eastern region. Given this context, this paper makes an attempt to review the nuclear deal being signed and looks into its future implications.

Summary/Abstract |
During the second term of President Barack Obama, US-Israeli relations sharply deteriorated. After a positive visit by President Obama to Israel in March 2013, major disagreements erupted over the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, over the nuclear deal with Iran and, especially, over the construction of Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Making matters worse, personal recriminations crept into the Israeli-American dialogue on the disputes. While the two countries signed a major military assistance agreement in September 2016, Israeli settlement expansion after the election of Donald Trump as the US President in November 2016 led to a further deterioration of relations between the Obama Administration and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, which was demonstrated by the Obama Administration’s failure to veto a UN Security Council Resolution condemning Israeli settlements.
