“President Trump announced that direct talks are happening with Iran over its nuclear program. What is UN Watch’s stance on these negotiations, and what do you expect to come from these talks?Apparently, this weekend, things are really going to get going.”
Hillel Neuer: “The first thing to understand with the Islamic regime in Iran is that these are fanatical extremists. They truly believe that God wants them to destroy Israel. They negotiate not to make peace, but to buy time. We have to remember that no deal is better than a bad deal.“
“We need a deal that ends Iran’s nuclear program—not just something that delays it. We need verification. It has to be intrusive. It’s got to be permanent, enforceable. Anything less will be surrender.”
NewsNation: “I think that should be underlined—no deal is better than a bad deal. What measures should the UN use to make sure Iran actually complies with the deal? If there is a deal, how do we make sure they stick with it?”
Hillel Neuer: “Well, if the UN were to be helpful, the Security Council should impose maximum pressure. Sanctions worked—weakening them only gave the regime more oxygen. Sadly, when it comes to the UN, the only body that could take real action is the Security Council, but Iran’s sponsors are there to take blocking maneuvers. We’re talking about Vladimir Putin’s Russia, Xi Jinping’s China. The result is the UN is not, sadly, going to be the one that’s going to help on these matters.”
“Keep in mind, the United Nations a couple of years ago elected Iran to the UN Women’s Rights Commission, even though it’s a regime that beats, blinds, poisons, rapes, and tortures women for the crime of standing up for their human rights. The United Nations elected the Islamic Republic of Iran to be president of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum just over a year ago.”
“So the UN is not going to be the savior on this. It’s going to have to be democratic countries—the U.S., the EU, the UK—taking the lead, imposing maximum pressure to finally hold this regime to account.”
We're passing through the Taurid meteor stream—possibly the most consequential stream in Earth’s recent history.
Imagine sea levels rising 3 to 4 times faster than anything seen in the last century… Entire coastlines erased, the planet remodeled overnight.
And yet, we may have missed it—because we’re only looking for reflections of ourselves.
