HOW TO AVOID. The best path forward to avoid this pitfall is to re-evaluate how the United States is going to thwart the Iranian nuclear threat. Xxxxxxxxx has made it clear that Israel will stand with unwavering condemnation against any re-engagement in the JCPOA. The United States must then alleviate the threat differently. A united front in the MENA region via the current Xxxxxxx Accords and an expanded Xxxxx Accords can accomplish this. Their ability to counter acts of aggression by utilizing such resources as information sharing is at the forefront of the solution. Additionally, this unified coalition can effectively work together economically for the benefit of one another and provide economic pressure on Iran. XXXXX should also utilize information sharing with the signatory nations to establish an inter-agency relationship with the US Department of State to underscore the concerns from the key contacts on the ground about the 13 Xxxxx Xxxxx, “Xxxxxxxxx Campaigns Against Xxxxx’s Plan to Save the Iran Deal,” Axios, March 4th, 2021, xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/netanyahu-campaigns- against-xxxxx-iran-deal-b215ad8b-99b1-47e2-8a45-ad5f81974d31.html dangers and potential fall out of snubbing Xxxxxxx Accord members by re-engaging with Iran on the JCPOA.
HOW TO AVOID. The best way to avoid escalation to the point of severely heightened tensions between US and Chinese proxies in the region is to avoid ignoring the Palestinian issue. China also does not prefer instability, as it relies on a stable Middle East for the Belt and Road Initiative that it values; “--officials in Beijing share the concern of many analysts that the Xxxxxxx Accords will end up fueling polarization and radicalization in the region. If so, this will be at the expense of BRI’s future success.”12 If the United States SOC can focus on support that maximizes campaigns in pursuit of regional stability and minimize inflaming regional polarities, then China will likely be comfortable with the dynamics at play in the Xxxxxxx Accords. However, over-emphasizing the differences between signatories and non-signatories could produce a MENA region that is distinctly bi-polar between US proxies and Chinese proxies. 11 “Iran-China Connection.” Tomorrow's World, 17 July 2020, xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxx/xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx. 12 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx et al, “China and the Xxxxxxx Accords Peace Agreement,” Middle East Institute, September 22, 2020, xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/publications/china- and-xxxxxxx-accords-peace-agreement Re-engaging in the JCPOA: The United States must also be acutely aware of the potential pitfalls that re-entering into the JCPOA agreement with Iran could bring. The Xxxxx administration has already signaled an appetite for reengaging in such an agreement. Israeli Prime Minister, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, has come out staunchly against such a shift in XX xxxxxx. Specifically, he recently stated, “The international reality has changed. There is an intention to go back to this dangerous deal. I am the only one who will stand against the entire world."13 With Israel as the primary pillar of the Xxxxxxx Accords agreement, the message is clear that the sanctity of this arrangement could quickly be eroded by such engagement with Iran. The core to the success of the Xxxxxxx Accords, and an expansion to a potential Xxxxx Accords, is dependent on all parties acting as good-faith actors and trusting the partnerships that have been put in place. A revised version of the JCPOA would signal to any future partners for a Xxxxx Accords that the United States is not committed to developing and maintaining the relationships outlined in the Xxxxxxx Accords. This would not only crumble the progress that has been made in the region thus far but would also call into qu...
HOW TO AVOID. The most critical way for SOCOM to support the Xxxxxxx Accords and avoid a situation where instability is simply reallocated is to support information sharing efforts to ensure security for the signatories. This will also promote a positive environment where economics has a chance to flourish. If citizens can see more economic opportunity and increased security collaboration that can thwart extremist attacks more effectively, this Accord will provide a different outcome from previous case studies like the Arab Spring. Iran: Turkey and the Palestinian cause is a resulting pitfall that has been in the works since the time of the Ottoman Empire when Constantinopole led the Muslim world. The latest Iran-China 25 year agreement provides access to the critical territory for Beijing to coordinate military targets along with Iran against Israel and a U.S. regional presence. President Xxxxxxx can use Iran’s closeness with China to win over hardline supporters of the Palestinian cause and the Muslim Brotherhood. Thus further delegitimizing Iran’s ambition to lead the Muslim world as their Chinese allies continue to torture and murder Uyghur people of the Islamic faith. There is a concern in Ankara that the funding from Beijing will be used by Tehran towards regional destabilizing efforts in Iraq, Syria and Libya, making U.S. sanctions easy to circumvent.15 Regardless of NATO membership Turkey must be able to defend territorial interests in nations listed above to ensure stability at their borders including conflict with PKK who receive weapons made in Iran, in their battle over disputed territory. Due to challenges the China Iran relationship brings directly to Turkey's borders, the territorial interests of the PLO will be given lesser priority. A benefit to Israel defense but SOCOM can further leverage Xxxxxxx’s isolation by offering drone technology in exchange for intelligence on Iran and China.
