Iran And International Conflict In Iran

This paper will seek to identify three key aspects of US sanctions imposed on Iran. First the paper will briefly introduce the reasons as to why US and Iran relations have worsened since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Secondly, this paper shall outline some of the key sanctions imposed on Iran which have influenced Irans’s behaviour. After sanctions are reviewed, the paper will then summarise the impact of sanctions on Iran. Last but not the least and most importantly, the paper will elaborate how Iran is resisting stringent US sanctions. This paper will argue that despite punitive measures adopted by the US, Iran has found alternative mechanisms to fight them and has reoriented its

With a renewed economy and enhanced military, if Iran elects to pursue a nuclear weapon in the future, critics argue they will be able to effectively withstand renewed sanctions and more ably protect centrifuge sights. Iran is also refusing to release details to the U.S. of its past nuclear activities, critics believe that the release of this information would finally disprove Tehran’s previous statements, that Iran was utilizing a peaceful program and that Islam forbids nuclear weapons. The ambiguity of Iran’s nuclear past has led to incomplete information on the part of the US and incomplete information in international relations is often a catalyst for military action. Furthermore, Critics believe that Iran will not entirely halt their nuclear program, but rather has significant incentive to misrepresent what they are developing, and will in fact work, in secret, on smaller-scale projects, such as specialized high-explosives that could act as a trigger in a nuclear bomb. Finally, according to many critics of this deal, the US is, in essence, allowing the Iranians, who in their opinion will have no incentive to abide by the limitations of this deal after they receive the pay out of lifted economic sanctions, to build a bomb. To them this

Evidence: This is why we should worry about Iran’s missiles. Just last fall Washington and European capital been involved in a long time bout with Iran nuclear diplomacy. In Washington, they hope that there hopes will run high and the effort will help the threat posed by Tehran’s atomic ambitions. The diplomatic deal is not only to limit Iran’s capability to build nuclear weapons but to also deliver to them. United states thinks that Iran is not really a threat to us but according to U.S. intelligence assessments, Iran already have the most powerful missile in the Middle East. They also have ballistic missiles that can be a

Iran and the United States are frigid bedfellows indeed. For the last thirty-seven years, these two cultures dogmatically opposed each other philosophically and theologically. To this day, the two countries monitor the other’s actions with suspicion and disdain. The United States accuses Iran’s Islamic theocracy of state sponsored terrorism and proliferation of nuclear materials with the intent of use against Israel. Iran by contrast sees the United States as an aggressive interloper driven by a lust for fossil fuel hegemony and diametrically opposed to Iran’s own national interests. Truly a match made in heaven.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan collectively cost around $6 trillion dollars to date, and have led to only a modicum of stability in the region. Iran is currently working on a nuclear power plant and is one of the largest state sponsors of terrorism. I believe that allowing Iran to become economically dominant in the region would turn them into one of our best allies. By allowing Iran to become as powerful as the United States in non-weaponized nuclear power production, Iran will be incentivized to align their views with that of the United States. Do not mistake me, at no point do I think that Iran should ever have access to a nuclear weapon; however, by balancing the economic power of the United States and Iran, stability between the two nations will be increased. Iran will be able to not only cease to fund terrorism, but will become a western watchdog and enforcer against terrorism in the

Nuclear proliferation is a problem that can affect the US indirectly. The US and a few other states, is known to have nuclear weapons. These states are strong and trusted by most of the global community. It is not okay for a state like Iran to develop these weapons because they could easily fall into the wrong hands. The country of Iran is known for supporting terrorist groups in the past and this could easily become a reality today (Bruno). There is another possibility that Iran could attack Israel with nuclear force, due to long unrest

Direct U.S.-Iranian relations date back as far as 1923 when the United States sent an economic advisor to Iran in an attempt to help provide independence and stability to the Persian economic system. The relationship between these two countries however, has not remained as positive as it began. Over the course of the last 70 years the United States has been both close allies and distant enemies with Iran; never seeming to make constructive diplomatic relations last. This troublesome history between the U.S and Iran has created a climate in which long-lasting successful diplomatic relations are unlikely. Considering this, the United States must continue on a path of aggressive foreign policy in regard to Iran in order to ensure the interests of the U.S are adequately protected.

The U.S. also has major concerns for Iran’s nuclear program, sponsorship of terrorism, and human rights record. The U.S. has tried to push the Iranian government to talk with the U.N. to try and dissolve the nuclear program and human rights abuse. The current Iranian government still has not recognized, one of America’s closest ally, Israel’s right to exist, this has hindered the Middle East peace process by arming militants, including Hamas, Hizballah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and continues to play a disruptive role in sustaining violence in the region, particularly in Syria.

Iranian Shi’a militants, the Assad regime in Syria, the Sunni Hamas, and the Lebanese Hezbollah have all joined together to fight against western influence, such as that of the US, and Israel, in their regions. Former President George W. Bush called them “The Axis of Evil”. This name was used around the United States and around the world for some time. In 2010, however, they became known as the “Axis of Resistance” after a Libyan news journalist used this to refer to them in his news article (CBS News).

The nuclear deal signifies that change is possible in Iran. The United States and Iran could at one point cease conflict between one another, which would give the Iranian people a chance to work together and cement their democratic ideals. This will cause the government to become more moderate in order to satisfy the needs of a people who are gaining power.

Iran is a country in the middle east that has a rich history dating back over 100,000 years. Iran had also been referred to as Persia until 1935 when the country officially took the name of Iran. Initially, Persia/Iran contained the regions of Anatolia, Bosphorus, Egypt, and Ancient India. In addition, Iran is considered to be one of the first historical societies as they began to keep written records and one of the first civilizations to enter the Iron Age.

Iran should not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons due to history of terrorism in their country. The Iran deal is a deal made by the U.N. and Iran on the future of Iran’s nuclear program. Terrorism is an ongoing problem in the Middle East. With this kind of issue going on, having weapons of mass destruction in Iran could result in the world being changed if the weapons got into the wrong hands. Radical terrorists are very unstable people who can not be trusted no matter what. With terrorism being so popular in countries in and around Iran, Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. The Iran Nuclear Deal will determine the future of Iran’s nuclear problem. If Iran is allowed to obtain Nuclear

Due to the severity and danger of nuclear weapons, it is very important for nations to have some sort of regulation with regard to the nuclear program and more specifically their nuclear weapons program. After the first nuclear bomb was created by the U.S. nations states that followed the U.S. with the creation of a nuclear bomb seek to justify their creation of the nuclear. There are many reasons why a nation state will create a nuclear bomb but the key issue here is why and how nations states should be regulated with regard to nuclear weapons development. If Iran is considered a potentially hostile regime based on the perspective of western allies it would be logical to attempt to negotiate with them so that their nuclear program can have some type of regulation rather than no regulation at all or striving to strong arm them from developing their nuclear program and possibly a nuclear weapons program.

A diplomatic strategy is the best option in engaging Iran but it will require patience and a long-term commitment. The impact to Iran over the past 34 years is a zcountry that is isolated from not only the Middle East but also the international community. Only through a bilateral diplomatic effort will the United States convince Iran to change its foreign policy. The focus of the bilateral discussions is Iran’s nuclear program and the right to enrich uranium and an easing of the crippling sanctions on the Iranian economy. There is a belief Iran is amiable to discussing a inherent right to enrichment uranium as outlined in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, while seeking relief from the mandated United States and United Nations sanctions.

Among the nations of the Middle East, The Islamic Republic of Iran stands as an oddity. It is a nation with a unique history, culture, and national identity. Formally known as Persia, Iran is the only non-Arab nation in the Middle East and the only Shi’ite theocracy in the world. The world’s first empire sprang out of Iran and spread from Egypt and Greece in the west to modern cultural identity day India in the East. Iran’s diverse history has manifested into a unique that has put Iran’s political objectives in conflict with many of its Middle Eastern neighbors and Western Civilization.
