CND Online Conference: Working for Peace in the Middle East
Event Date: 22nd May 2021
Location: Internet 1pm
Join CND’s Conference on the Middle East
As diplomats meet in Vienna to discuss reviving the crucial Iran nuclear deal, the weekend’s Israeli cyber-attack against an Iranian nuclear facility is an extremely concerning development.
A weapons of mass destruction-free zone in the Middle East is an idea whose time has come and would be a huge step towards a just, peaceful and stable future for the region.
And yet with the continued Israeli possession of a nuclear arsenal, the U.S. withdrawal under Donald Trump from the Iran nuclear deal and even the declaration of Mohammed bin Salman that Saudi Arabia could look to gain nuclear weapons under some future circumstances, it seems further away than ever.
