India Us Nuke Deal

The impact of US President Donald Trump's erroneous decision to withdraw from the JCPOA deal in 2015 was multi-layered. Beyond diplomacy and realpolitik, the issue of Iran's nuclearisation threatens to become more uncontainable than ever.

Indian-origin Senator Kamala Harris, the US Democratic Party's vice-presidential candidate, has pledged to rejoin the Paris climate agreement and re-enter the Iran nuclear deal to restore "our place in the world" and win back the "trust and support" of the US's Asian and European allies if her party wins the November presidential election.

When US Secretary of Defence James Mattis flies out to New Delhi later today, his top priority will be to try and ensure that the new India-US "major defence partnership" ends up being more than a talk-shop on strategic issues of mutual concern.

The US has said it would buy 32 metric tonnes of Iranian heavy water, a key component in atomic-weapons development, worth $8.6 million to help Tehran meet its obligations under the landmark nuclear deal signed last year.

The possibility of a civil nuclear deal between the US and Pakistan needs close scrutiny because of Pakistan's close links with terror groups and a "long history of proliferation" of sensitive nuclear technology, an influential American lawmaker has said.

Strongly of the view that Pakistan must restrain the development of its growing nuclear arsenal, eminent experts at top American think-tanks believe that given the country's past record it is unlikely to "play by any rules" to agree to a civil nuclear deal with the US.

Reacting sharply to report that US is considering a nuclear deal with Pakistan on the lines of the Indo-US deal, India today said that anyone considering a nuke pact should first see Islamabad's proliferation track record.

American firms, which played a key role in the passage of Indo-US civilian nuclear deal, are unlikely to engage in atomic trade with India if New Delhi does not become party to the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage.

Describing the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal as a game changer for bilateral ties, the Obama Administration has said the remaining steps of the historic accord are expected to be completed in the next few months.

President Barack Obama is hailing the relationship between the United States and India as one of the "defining partnerships" in the world.

The Obama Administration on Thursday asserted that it is committed to implement the civilian nuclear deal with India.
