    The U.S. and Iranian conflict started more than 60 years ago. It started when the U.S. and British intelligence agencies killed the Prime Minister of Iran. The U.S. then sought them for help almost 30 years later, by selling them weapons, but Iran had a plan of their own, America did not receive their help. In 2002, Bush declared Iran as an “axis of evil,” this angered Iran. That same year, it was revealed that Iran is developing nuclear facilities.

    Subpoint A – Nuclear proliferation is an action fueled by fear and if there is increase in military force interference, that fear will be legitimized. According to the article “Why Countries Build Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century” by Zachary Keck, “Iran’s nuclear program is better explained, then, by the rise in the potential conventional threat the U.S. poses to the Iran.” As many countries are, Iran was obviously intimidated by the massive military force of the U.S. and made the decision to begin proliferating nuclear weapons. And if the U.S. uses military force as an act to prevent nuclear proliferation, that goal may not be fulfilled.…

    Just recently, politicians in the United States praised the treaty with Iran, but the public found many issues with it. Such as, the twenty-four-hour warning on when they are to make "surprise visits" to the Iranian nuclear facilities (Brookhiser). Furthering the American and Iranian tension, Iran's greatest leaders are now struggling to approach how they are going to make a peace treaty with their great enemy. "We have announced that we will not negotiate with the Americans on any issue other than the nuclear case," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader said, "prepare for the continuation of the fight against America” (Erdbrink). Iran announces that it will only make deals with the United States on nuclear weapons in the hope of it leading to a friendlier relationship between Iran and other countries…

    It all started in 1950, when the Iranian people elected Mohammad Mosaddegh as prime minister. He nationalized Iranian oil industry, which was under British control since 1913. This way the Iranian population was in charge again over the Iranian oil. But in 1953 Masaddegh was removed from power through cooperation between the American CIA and the British MI6. Mahammed Reza Pahlavi was installed as Shah. He kept his power through the police and by threatening people. It was a time of threat, fear and torture began and then he started to westernize Iran and enraged the mostly Shihad population of Iran. All this ended in 1979 when the people overthrow the Shah and Khomeini returned as the supreme leader of the Iranian revolution from his exile. He spent the last 15 years in exile due to his opposition against the Shah. After Khomeini had the power in Iran it resulted in firing squads and chaos. Meanwhile the shah and his family were able to leave Iran. In 1979 the shah was given asylum in the US because he was dying of cancer. The Iranian people gathered on the streets around the US-embassy in Teheran and were demanding the shah’s return and conviction in court, which would have most likely result in hanging him.…

    Iran, as it stated and signed in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, that it would not proliferate while having the right to peacefully use nuclear technology i.e. using nuclear power to generate heat and electricity. Along with signing this treaty Iran along with other signatories received some privileges from the NTP leaders done by providing alternative means of protecting members’ security – namely, enhanced access to conventional arms. However, the issue arose that Iran had secretly, over the past many years; Evidence uncovered by the International Atomic Energy Agency over the past 9 years demonstrates that Iran’s leaders covertly resumed their quest for sensitive nuclear technology during the decade long Iran-Iraq war. This quest continued even after that war, while the Iranians insist that their strife to have a nuclear weapons program is for peaceful purposes only. Although there are many other reasons that would inspire the Iranians to acquire nuclear powers speaking in terms of international affairs. Especially since their biggest “enemy” Israel had not signed the NPT thus excluding them from the obligation not to have nuclear weapons caused a big threat to Iranians, also that the U.S. has these weapons and since relations between the Iranians and them aren’t peachy keen either, Iran would probably feel safer in the international scope and more self reliant if it had nuclear weapons. This entire operation did not sit well with the U.S. who considers Iran to be a major adversary and a cause of danger in the world, especially in the east.…

    Before I go any farther, I want to preface my paper with a disclaimer or two. First, I personally do not believe that Iran, as it currently stands, should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Iran’s rulers are religious extremists, and they pose a serious threat to the western world. However, I will strive to present an unbiased review of the issue. Secondly, this paper is not meant to be an exhaustive examination of the topic of Iran’s nuclear weapons program. I am a college freshman at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and I wrote this paper for my English 111 class. As such, I had a very limited time period in which I could research Iran and nuclear…

    As technology advanced, countries struggled for power in an arms and space race throughout the Cold War in 1947. The United States was facing conflict with the Soviet Union, but still provided assistance to Iran and Iraq. America offered support by pressuring reform on Iran, which was suffering from a collapsing economy and a failing regime.1 According to Lisa Wolfe Iran did not fully embrace the support, “Misperception of US motives behind the move for internal change led many to ignore the fact that the US cared about Iran’s domestic politics only so far as they impacted the superpower’s own national interest.”1 The people of Iran believed the United States only had their own good intentions in mind. The United States did take the Iraqi side during the Iran-Iraq War, but China provided Iran with 22 percent of its arms.1 Iran was not at a complete disadvantage in the war, they had a form…
