The sanctions against Iran. What difficulties have caused to foreign trade? The previous and current USA sanctions against Iran have created problems in the relationship between this country and the West, but they have also created problems for third countries. One of the difficulties created by them is that the European companies discovered to have relations with Iran are then sanctioned by the USA, preventing them from overseas trading. It must be kept in mind that the commercial interchange of many european countries like Italy, France, Germany … is still decidedly larger with the United States than Iran, so once they find themselves making a choice they are forced to safeguard the American market. Another notable difficulty for those who may try to trade with Iran by Dubai, Turkey … it is the blocking of the swift system, which is under the control of the United States, so it becomes impossible to make a bank transfer to and from Iran. The Nuclear Agreement. What commercial opportunities did create for Italy? 2)The Agreement reached on the Iranian nuclear issue had allowed Italy to recover at least a part of the trade that it had before the adoption of the sanctions. In 2016 Rome and Teheran had reached agreements for a possible budget of 20 billion euros, now with the new sanctions desired by Trump we risk to lose all. Italy is the main European partner of Iran, in 2017 it was in first place for overall exchanges, more than 5 billion euros. In 2018 Italian exports to Iran amounted to 1.7 billion euros, better than Rome only Germany with almost 4 bilion euros. The bulk of Italian sales in Iran concerns the industrial sector, machinery, chemical and pharmaceutical products; while Italy imports mainly oil from Iran, the total value of imports in 2018 has reached almost 3.4 billion euros. Italy has a market share of 3.8% in Iran today, which could double up to 7.3% if it could only express its potential, bu there are many difficulties. The exit of United States with Trump from the Nuclear Agreement, what solutions are being adopted to try to resolve the impasse? 3)To resolve this impasse, Europe and Italy had studied various devices, whose validity still remains in doubt. The Italian Government had in recent months thought of creating a bank able to exchanges with Iran, which on State protection would have had to guarantee credit to our companies but the project is probably burred for different vision of the majority parties. After the recent visit of Mike Pompeo in Italy, who complained about to go-ahead granted to the Iranian Airline Mahan Air, suspected of financing the Guardians of the Revolution, things will hardly improve. The European Union has prepared the Special Purpose Vehicle, a legal mechanism that would allow our companies to bypass USA sanctions. The idea is complex because it involves a sort of exchange that does not constitute a real financial or monetary exchange, technically difficult, as well as the...

articolo originale: Young Diplomats Turkey is now in a tough position to choose between America’s F-35 advanced jets and Russia’s S-400 missile defence system as Washington has given a deadline to cancel its orders with Russia and purchase the US Patriot air defence system instead. Turkey has already made a deal with Russia and has sent some of its officials to Russia to be trained on the S-400. Though Turkey is a member of NATO and a part of the US F-35 warplane programme, it’s not ready to reconsider the deal that has already made with Russia as part of Russia-Turkey alliance. What is S-400 Triumf It is an upgraded version of the S-300 family, an anti-aircraft weapon system developed in the late 1970s. It has been used in the Russian Armed Forces since 2007. The current S-400 is the latest version of this family and it has also been described by The Economist as “one of the best air-defence system currently made.” Why the US opposes S-400 Russia has been working on radar and missiles targetting the low observable aircraft. The primary concern of Kremlin is to tackle US air power. S-400 is one of the most sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems in the world with the range of 400Km. It has the ability to shoot up to 80 targets simultaneously ranging from low-flying drones to aircraft or long-range missiles. The reason behind the worries of the US officials is that the S-400 radar could access sensitive US military technologies in service and also it would gather technical details of their F-35. Other countries with S-400 deal with Russia China and India have already placed their orders and now Turkey joins the list. China also faces US sanctions for buying S-400 and other arms from Russia. In October last year, India signed a 5 billion dollar deal to buy five S-400 regimental units amidst US concerns over this deal. Neither India nor Turkey has come to the US sanction list yet. Iran has also shown its interest to purchase S-400 from Russia but Russia has rejected the deal as there is already increasing tensions between Iran and the USA after President Trump called off the nuclear deal with Iran and Russia didn’t want a further escalation of tension in the region. Here’s another article explaining the capabilities of such Russian air defense system: https://www.young-diplomats.com/s-300-missiles-in-syria-bad-news-for-israel/
A Pietrasanta (Lu), dal 18 al 20 ottobre si terrà Libropolis, festival dell’editoria e del giornalismo. Di seguito il programma della manifestazione. www.libropolis.org programma Libropolis è un festival dedicato alla valorizzazione di quegli editori che praticano questo mestiere con un riguardo artigianale, con la cura e l’attenzione di chi nel libro non vede soltanto un bene di consumo, ma soprattutto un bene immateriale. Sono quei piccoli e medi editori che si sforzano di arricchire il panorama editoriale italiano, che si impegnano nella ricerca di nuovi autori o nella riscoperta di classici dimenticati, che propongono e reinventano generi e lingue, ciascuno con una propria offerta culturale dentro la filiera del libro. Ma non solo. Libropolis vuole essere uno spazio libero di riflessione, un territorio franco, oggi mancante, in cui dibattere sulle forme possibili di riorganizzazione del presente, fornendo nuove sintesi di pensiero. E ciò, mediante l’approfondimento di quelle tematiche che spaziano dallo studio delle dinamiche internazionali e geopolitiche, alla politica italiana e all’economia, giungendo a questioni specificamente culturali, allo scopo di contribuire a sviluppare un pensiero critico e riflessivo necessario per cogliere le tante sfumature e la poliedricità del mondo moderno, senza semplicismi né preconcetti.
