The world welcomed the news of an agreement reached between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran over the weekend. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” President Donald Trump said June 14. This was confirmed by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as well as the Iranians themselves, and a formal signing ceremony is planned to take place in Switzerland this Friday, June 19. Trump reportedly digitally signed the MOU Sunday night before he left to attend the G7 summit in France.

Can this peace become a stable peace? Can this moment of reprieve be transformed into an inflection point where a wholly new orientation takes hold?

The emphatic point to be made is: Yes, if we act to make it happen. Don’t wait around analyzing what Donald Trump will do next, or place your bets in Polymarket as to how long the agreement will last. Helga Zepp-LaRouche addressed this in a discussion with associates June 15, where she called for upgrading the mobilization for the Extended Oasis Plan for Southwest Asia. “This is the moment to put in the economic development perspective on the table, to change the dynamic on a permanent basis,” she said. She emphasized the importance of former Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoğlu’s proposal for a new security architecture for the region, combined with the Schiller Institute’s proposal of economic development to solidify it.
