Ирановед:

"Я не думаю, что президент Барак Обама в преддверие президентских выборов начнет войну против Ирана, но, учитывая, что лидирующие в Конгрессе партии уже заявили, что в случае их победы на выборах, они начнут войну, в среднесрочной перспективе этого исключать нельзя. Об этом сегодня на пресс- конференции заявила кандидат исторических наук, ирановед Гоар Искандарян.

"В целом, за всем этим стоит Израиль, провоцирующий США на войну против Ирана.  Президент Обама, прекрасно понимая, что в США израильское лобби имеет большое влияние, прислушивается к его мнению, так как ему это выгодно. В целом, санкции против Ирана применяются достаточно давно: еще с 2002 года иранская оппозиция, сообщив о том, что в стране тайно осуществляется ядерная программа, привлекла к ней мировой интерес", - заметила она.

По ее словам, ЕС, ООН и другие международные инстанции неоднократно предлагали Ирану действовать открыто, но ИРИ продолжала программу обогащения урана, не отказываясь от своей политики, продолжая развивать ядерные программы. Однако, после того как Иран заявил о своей готовности перекрыть Ормузский пролив, отношение к ИРИ резко ухудшилось. По мнению ирановеда, подобные заявления Тегеран сделал после того, как США сообщили, что перестанут покупать иранскую нефть, при этом их поддержали несколько стран ЕС.

"Перекрытие Ормузского пролива приведет к мировому кризису: пострадает мировая экономика. Учитывая этот факт, США и Великобритания держат свои авианосцы неподалеку от пролива и в случае его перекрытия вполне смогут своими силами решить эту проблему. Тем не менее, возможностей для долгосрочной войны я не вижу", - подытожила ирановед.

Отметим, что в ответ на готовность США и ЕС ввести запрет на импорт иранской нефти Тегеран пригрозил перекрыть Ормузский пролив. США в свою очередь уже заявили о своей готовности воспрепятствовать этому при помощи военного флота. В условиях подобного роста напряженности между Ираном и странами Запада Китай в свою очередь неоднократно призывал к решению проблемы дипломатическими средствами в интересах сохранения мира и стабильности в регионе. Через Ормузский пролив проходит 40% всех нефтеналивных судов в мире. В случае его перекрытия, мировые рынки ожидает неизбежный дефицит нефти и, следовательно, рост цен на нефтепродукты.

Council of Europe launches new International Claims Commission for Ukraine

Thirty-four countries and the European Union have signed a new convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine at a diplomatic conference co-hosted by the 46-nation Council of Europe and the Netherlands in the Hague. The diplomatic conference was attended by leaders and high-level representatives from over 50 states, including the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof.  “Today marks a major step forward in ensuring accountability for Ukraine. The International Claims Commission represents justice and hope for tens of thousands of victims—our determination that those who have suffered will not be forgotten. I call for quick ratifications so we can get the commission rapidly up and running for the people of Ukraine,” said Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “We expect that every mechanism for compensation from the Register of Damage and Claims Commission to the actual payments – will start working and receive strong and sufficient international support, so that people can truly feel that any kind of damage caused by the war can be compensated. This war, and Russia’s responsibility for it, MUST become a clear example – so that others learn not to choose aggression.” “Accountability is about creating the conditions for peace that endures. And therefore, accountability is a condition of security – today and for the future. But accountability is not only about Ukraine. And it is not only about one aggressor and one victim. Accountability is about Europe. About every country in Europe. It is about whether Europe, as a whole, is willing to defend its peace,” said Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, said: “Every day Russia is deliberately bombarding homes, destroying businesses and damaging infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia must compensate Ukraine for the damage caused. That is why we have launched the International Claims Commission for Ukraine and we are honoured to host it.” The International Claims Commission will be the second part of a comprehensive compensation mechanism related to Russia’s war of aggression, building on the existing Register of Damage for Ukraine. The claims commission will be established within the framework of the Council of Europe and will also be open to other countries. The Register of Damage for Ukraine, created in 2023, collects and records compensation claims submitted by individuals, organisations and public bodies in Ukraine. Forty-four states and the European Union have so far joined the Register, which has already received 86,000 claims. The International Claims Commission will review, assess and decide upon claims submitted to the Register of Damage for Ukraine and determine the amount of compensation, if any, which is due in each case. The convention establishing the commission will enter into force once it has been ratified by 25 signatories, as long as sufficient funds have been secured to support its initial work.
