Relationship Between The United States And Iran

Relationship between the United States and Iran

At present, an international kilombo is being given to place, that of USA and Iran, this has been developed by different factors, such as the murder of leaders, the possible breach of the nuclear pact by Iran, in addition to the inconveniencethat generates this idea to its counterpart and especially the obvious interest which has the country of Uncle Sam for the oil of the Persian Peninsula. Regarding the latter, it is possible to ask ourselves, is this interest because of economic imperialism? Or say that it is for other reasons.

For anyone it is a secret that the United States as superpower has managed to take advantage of the resources of the countries that are under their yoke, but some, with enough resources, decide to face this country, such has been the case of Iran, which one of itsgreater objectives is to expel the American nation in the region. For its part, the United States obtained large amounts of gain by oil, before the revolution. ‘Even then the Iranians could operate with some of their oil and their assets but now (after the sanctions of Clinton) Iranian government officials say that the situation is unsustainable’.

This conflict, together with the economic sanctions towards the Iranians began after the Islamic Revolution, which remains so far, but has worsened with the mandate of Donald Trump. In fact, Trump recently retired from the nuclear agreement he had with Iran and other countries belonging to the UN.

Before 1979, USA was the owner of the majority of the oil that was extracted in the country of the Middle East. But the population asked that oil be nationalized.

With the recent murder of the General of the Revolutionary Forces, Qasem Soleimani, in addition the demolition made to the Ukrainian commercial plane by Iran, which of what is said was accidental. In addition, part of Iraq (United States ally in the Middle East) does not agree with its presence, in turn the North American country threatens the Iraq government economically if this makes US troops withdrawn. These reasons have not allowed the relationship between the two countries to be restored.

Finally, I consider that the superpowers tend to dominate the developing countries, with the aim of maintaining their power and using this in their favor to take advantage of the resources that the other country can offer, in exchange for “financial aid” for theirdevelopment, what really ends up becoming an economic dependence with which the developed country manipulates the subjugates, almost to their complacency. In some cases, such as Iran’s example, they do not allow it.

Unfortunately, these countries do not have enough means to counteract the actions that the superpowers carry out against them. This leads to economic sanctions and threats;In addition to the discontent of the population, for these countries the "cure is worse than the disease". Well, after all, in most cases they return to their previous situation, being controlled by one or another power, regardless of their ideology.
