“The second U.S.-North Korea summit in Vietnam failed to reach a nuclear deal despite hopes of a face-saving outcome. Still possible is an escalation of the crisis, which would have a disastrous outcome.”
Resolving The North Korea Crisis Through The Iran Deal; Seyed Hossein Mousavian, April 4, 2019, Lobe-log.
“The DPRK’s core interest in negotiations with the United States and other world powers is to gain recognition of its legitimacy, secure incontrovertible security guarantees, and win the removal of barriers to its integration in regional and global economic structures. Achieving this requires a careful reading of U.S. foreign policy and America’s track record in negotiations with rival powers.”
“Making a nuclear deal with Trump: some advice for Kim Jong Un,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, NK News, June 5th, 2018.
Hossein Mousavian put forward the suggestion through a speech that was delivered at the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM), hosted by National Assembly of Republic of Korea on April 14-17 in Seoul. In the speech, Mousavian proposed using Iran’s nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as a model for any future negotiation with North Korea. The full text of Mousavian’s speech is as follows:
“Iran’s former diplomat suggests JCPOA model for talks with N.Korea,” IRNA, April 18, 2018.
“Préservons l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien, c’est le modèle à suivre avec la Corée du Nord,” Le Monde, Seyed Hossein Mousavian, October 10, 2017.
“With tensions on the Korean peninsula at dangerous levels and loose talk of nuclear war, can the JCPOA serve as a model for averting further escalation with North Korea or will Trump’s pressure tactics push Iran to go down North Korea’s path to deter the United States?”
“Trump’s Choice: Iran Deal Model or North Korean Bomb?” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, LobeLog, October 6, 2017.
