Unless the US immediately broadens its perspective, there will be no guarantees that the new agreement with Iran will not suffer the same fate the Tehran agreement Turkey and Brazil achieved three years ago.

At the moment, the Middle East is going through turbulent times. It is clear the end of this political crisis is not near.

What matters is to establish relations between countries and societies on the grounds of a common future rather than experiences, enmities and prejudices of the past.
