Abstract
In recent years very few issues have attracted international attention as the controversy over Iran’s nuclear program. Iranian officials regularly remind both friends and foes of Article IV of the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which states, ‘Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable rights of all the parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination’.1 The United States and some other countries accuse Iran of seeking to build nuclear weapons. Diplomatic pressure and some of the severest economic sanctions have been imposed on Tehran combined with threats of military attacks. Iranian officials have categorically and consistently denied these accusations.KeywordsMiddle EastIslamic RepublicEconomic SanctionIranian GovernmentProven ReserveThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
