México. - To the radiance that issue the facts that make history, comes to our remember 17 of May, Iran, Brazil and Turkey to solve the conflict in wheel to the nuclear program of Iran, illuminates the zones that yet stay in the shades. In this group of emerging powers and second line countries were not found any European upon signing the agreement in Teheran, something which is understood the nuisances that caused an agreement of such magnitude, they does not control it.

What is interesting in this case it is the reaction of the chancery of the White House, with Hillary Clinton state secretary of the country of the bars and the stars, that upon disregarding the agreement, it intends to advance in the sanctions policy, and in this global stage is felt displaced the empire of the north, since not requested to him permit for such agreement. In this scheming of statements shows the growing polarization between Brasilia and Washington. The Brazilian leader is felt disappointed by the duty, on the part of the UN, of more sanctions to the government of Teheran in spite of the reached agreement: to exchange with Brazil the little enriched uranium per portion of that sufficient metal for the use of the nuclear reactor of Iran.

In this sense the statements of the president of Brazil permit us to speak highly of the weight that it has acquired his country as an important actor in the international diplomacy. In the first place, the Brazilian mediation in the conflict between Caracas and Bogota constitutes, a doubly valuable element: on the one hand, because upon maintaining a equidistance between both parts, the leader is presented as a valid and desirable speaker; for the other, because upon outlining an alternative negotiation route to the OAS, contributes to remove the conflict from the geopolitical domination field from The States, and puts it on a most democratic stage, equitable and auspicious for the negotiation.

Clinton emphasized that the agreement is "an attempt by stopping the action of the Security Council without arriving to take measures to approach the international preoccupations on its nuclear program" (The Guardian, May 17). In contrast Luiz I. Lula da Silva, said what is important "is that we could establish a on the up and up relationship. It is not possible to make political without having on the up and up relationships" (Folha of Sao Paulo, May 17). The contrast is evident and just inside out United States makes political, brandishing the garrotte in front of it to handle the diplomatic relationships between countries. Just the attitude of a despaired country and that it has lost you function as leader in its hind courtyard, being swallowed its pride and to see to grow as a great power to Brazil, even to make to him shade to the White House in the middle East.

In this confrontation the Brazilian press there has closed strings in wheel to the government of Lula. In this diplomatic conflicts theatre, Lula da Silva makes called to prudent diplomacy to confer with Iran and his penalty before the increases of the sanctions against Teheran constitute indicative of the independence that it has gone acquiring the South American continent, -exception of Colombia and Peru - with respect to the purposes of Washington and their allies. The chancery sent on Wednesday 19 a letter to the Council of United Nations Security explaining that the agreement of Teheran contains the same terms that the western powers come demanding from makes time, and demand that is not closed the road of the negotiations. Therefore Amorim it said that, "to ignore the agreement is to despise the search of a negotiated and peaceful solution" (O State de Sao Paulo, May 19).

But the confrontation has fund between Brazil and The States with its algid point in that South American region: the defense of the oil found in the Atlantic south and the defense of the Amazonia. Other greater friction point with the White House. At the same time the statements exhibit an encounter point between Brasília and the Islamic republic, conformity that it does not base in the process justification gunsmith’s work - as those which West imputes to Teheran -, but in the necessary defense of the national sovereignties as compared to the hegemony of the imperial powers in the economic areas, political, diplomatic and soldier.

En suma, ante la postura expresada por Lula, es claro que Brasil desempeña, hoy día, un papel lúcido y constructivo en la solución de tensiones en el ámbito diplomático. La condición de interlocutor central y creíble que ha adquirido el gobernante brasileño coloca a su país en la posición de incidir positivamente en conflictos diversos que se desarrollan dentro y fuera del continente y cabe esperar que lo consiga.

In short, before the posture expressed by Lula, it is clear that Brazil performs, until today, a lucid and constructive paper in the solution of tensions in the diplomatic area. The central and credible speaker condition that it has acquired the Brazilian ruler puts to his country on the position of impacting positively in various conflicts that are developed inside and outside of the continent and we have the hope that procures it.
