entrenched themselves in the local ways and traditions. These clerics will not
disappear as a concern anytime soon. Domestic rulers in ivory towers could not
rid themselves of Shia clergy as a potent social influence foreign soldiers
definitely will not be able to accomplish that. With cognizance of the broad
historical context of Iran description and analysis of the current nuclear
crisis with Iran is now proper. In August 2002 an Iranian dissident movement
accused the theocratic government of operating in the city of Natanz a uranium
enrichment facility and in the city of Arak a heavy water plant. In December
2002 while on its weapons of mass destruction allegations binge the United
States proclaimed Irans guilt of across-the-board pursuit of weapons of mass
destruction. Unlike with Iraq American declarations about Iran turned out to be
at least partially true. The IAEA examined Arak and Natanz in February 2003 and
it declared a few months later Iran had broken the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
[13] Iran promised the European Union Three—Germany France and Britain who had
taken the lead in diplomacy with Iran—in October 2003 it would cease all
research into the enrichment of uranium an essential procedure in constructing
both nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. That December Iran pledged it
would cooperate with surprise inspections of its nuclear installations. Iran
did not keep that oath though as the IAEA chastised Iran in June 2004 for
insufficient cooperation. To strike back Iran announced it would start
researching and making centrifuges vital to uranium enrichment again. But Iran
reversed course several months later in November 2004 assuring the Europeans it
would halt all nuclear fuel processing and reprocessing work. Iranian President
Mohammed Khatami seemed to negate this the next year in February 2005 when he
said no Iranian government would surrender Irans right to nuclear
technology.[14] The frothing hard-liner Ahmadinejad replaced the moderate
Khatami in the middle of 2005.[15] With Ahmadinejad as its spokesman Iran
dropped all pretense of cooperating with the Europeans. On September 15 2005
Ahmadinejad told the world his country would spread nuclear technology
throughout the Muslim world. Nearly four months later on January 1 2006 Iran
revealed it had discovered how to extract uranium from ore. Ten days later on
January 10 Iran restarted its research on nuclear fuel. This finally compelled
the Europeans to give up their efforts to negotiate. They recommended the
United Nations Security Council take up the matter. On January 13 Iran
threatened to toss the IAEA out of the country if the Security Council itself
involved itself in the situation. Regardless in a rare occurrence of agreement
between the United States Germany France Britain China and Russia all six
nations wanted the Security Council to take action.[16] This produced a
Security Council resolution on March 29 demanded Iran totally cooperate with
the IAEA within 30 days. The Security Councils declaration was not legally
binding however because Russia and China were reluctant to impose sanctions or
start war in the event of Iranian noncompliance.[17] Afterward on April 11
Ahmadinejad said Iran had learned how to enrich the uranium after they had
extracted it. The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization announced the Natanz
facility had accomplished the feat. Because of this on April 28 the IAEA declared
Iran in defiance of the March 29 Security Council requests.[18] That is where
the nuclear confrontation with Iran stands now. <b>II. Problem
Statement</b> Iran a barbaric theocracy whose president has wished for
Israels destruction and indicated he would disseminate nuclear technology has
been researching such technology. The Iranian government claims it only wants
peaceful nuclear energy. (Plenty of oil sits beneath Iran and lots of desert
that could accommodate solar collectors lies across the country. One could
wonder why Iran would need nuclear technology for energy production.) The
United States and its diplomatic partners worry Iran desires nuclear weapons
for its own use and to give to terrorists. Hence the United States wants Iran
to end its nuclear program. gk
