Iran Safety Policy Kathryn Lizi Susan
Concerned with Iran’s nuclear energy program • tries to monitor this by means of the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) • inspect to make sure that the uranium enrichment isn’t above the necessary levels United States
Iran • Iran has been researching nuclear energy/weapons secretly • Contained uranium that had been enriched to higher levels then necessary • Claim to be pursuing nuclear technology for peaceful civilian purposes only • A nuclear-weapon design and centrifuges for uranium enrichment were obtained • Has a right to a legal nuclear energy program • Strong public support
World Relation • Nuclear research is a privilege • U.N. monitors nuclear research • Nuclear research can lead to abomination
Negotiations • U.S. refused to deal directly with Iran • U.S. is interested in controlling the nuclear research more • Germany, Britain, and France have made a deal with Iran • Iran wants to further nuclear research without restrictions
Policy Options… • Impose sanctions • Multilateral talks with Iran and U.N. • Bilateral talks with Iran • Use force to control nuclear research • Monitor nuclear research more frequently
Our Policy • Multilateral negotiations • Allow them to have nuclear research without interference • Make Iran an ally &
Why not other Policies? • Force would be inefficient • Lose our trades with Iran • Bilateral negotiations would bring down U.S. position • Sanctions wouldn’t work because Iran would continue nuclear research
THE END • Kathryn • Lizi • Susan
