Impact assessment Currently, the Brazilian government is also assessing the impacts of escalating conflicts and possible diplomatic developments, including with the United States. On Monday (2), the special advisor to the Presidency of the Republic, ambassador Celso Amorim, spoke by telephone with President Lula about the escalation of conflicts. The two evaluated the most recent developments in the crisis and Brazil’s possible diplomatic initiatives, including the role of Itamaraty and the defense of a negotiated solution to reduce tensions in the region. During the call, Celso Amorim reminded President Lula of the efforts of Brazilian diplomacy, in 2010, alongside Turkey, for the Tehran Declaration — an initiative that had positive international repercussions, but ended up rejected by the United States. 🔎The Tehran Declaration was a proposal presented in 2010 by Brazil, Türkiye and Iran to try to reduce tension around the Iranian nuclear program. Under the agreement, Iran would send some of its enriched uranium to Turkey, where the material would be held in international custody, in exchange for nuclear fuel for a medical research reactor. The initiative sought to avoid new sanctions and open space for negotiations, but was rejected by the United States and did not advance. ‘We must prepare for the worst’, says Celso Amorim about conflict in the Middle East In an interview with GloboNews, Celso Amorim stated that Brazil “must prepare for the worst” scenario, as the conflict with Iran has the potential to spread.
