Iran and the United States: a long way to go

 What is called Iran’s Nuclear Program was launched in 1950’s with the USA aid. However in 1979 the relation USA-Iran faded after the kidnapping of The American diplomats to the extent that in this moment U.S. and Iran do not have any diplomatic relations. Consequently after this break up and the election of Ayatollah Khomeini, the nuclear research decreased in Iran. Some years later, during the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), some minor scale research started. Since then, Iran's nuclear program has included several research sites, two uranium mines, a research reactor, and uranium processing facilities that include three known uranium enrichment plants consequently in September 2011, the first nuclear plant in Iran was opened with the assistance of Russia. Naturally, countries such as U.S. and Israel are alarmed about the use that Iran can give to this power and as a result the relation between them and Iran is worse than ever. 


As a consequence, some questions should be taken into account. Does Iran plan to build a nuclear weapon, or just to develop nuclear energy? If Iran develops a nuclear weapon, what are the probable consequences? Would it outbreak Israel? How do Iranian people perceive this subject? How do they see the United States? Is it possible to discuss other issues on the U.S.-Iranian agenda, such as human rights and terrorism, simultaneously with the nuclear issue? Well, we really do not know. What is well known is that the one in charge of that decision is the religious Guardian council. Evidently, Iran claims to have the right to work on his Nuclear Program indeed this modern country needs some energy resources and most countries will have eventually to work on nuclear power someday. Moreover, the fact that Iran works with nuclear plants will give it the security to strength its position in its region. 

Nevertheless, the U.S. has to be cautions and intervene in this issue since it can be affected in many different ways. One of the most important, if Iran’s nuclear power is intended to create nuclear weapons this will attempt against U.S. national security and its closest allies for instance Israel. For that reason, The U.S. has to create a plan to act as smart as possible first trying to smooth things over and then creating a plan to work with them. If that is not possible, then The U.S. will need to use its Army to defeat Iran’s government because with Iran under the rule of the present government, the pursuit of nuclear power will never stop. Then by defeating this government The U.S. will bring peace and security to the Middle East and itself not only vanishing a possible Nuclear attack but also ending the regime that abuses its people human rights.

  1. Johanna,

    Good post. It is very well-written and well organized. Great design, too. I like the pictures that you've included.

    My only suggestion is to insert some quotations from experts and leaders. Try to support your claims by inserting what the "experts" are saying. Who agrees and who disagrees with you.

    Quotes are an easy "fact" to use. Try it out next round.
