"The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to become the world's tenth nuclear power. It is defying its international obligations and resisting concerted diplomatic pressure to stop it from enriching uranium." This essay examines the risks associated with Iran becoming a nuclear power and suggests that the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama must exert diplomatic pressure on the country to ensure political stability. The author also remarks on the influence of nationalism and anti-Americanism on Iranian foreign relations.
James M. Lindsay is a senior vice president, director of studies, and Maurice R. Greenberg Chair at the Council on Foreign Relations. Ray Takeyh is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
