During the Cold War, the US and USSR provided "umbrella protection" to convince allies not to acquire nuclear weapons. Most "newly" independent nations never had such security during the Cold War since they were not part of a power bloc. During the Iran-Iraq conflict (1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988), the Islamic Republic of Iran was attacked with chemical weapons. Since Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian exile organization, exposed Iran's hidden nuclear program in 2002, the topic has gained worldwide attention. Iran's nuclear agenda has produced a worldwide catastrophe despite its NPT membership. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful and respects Islamic values. Most US politicians and academics consider Iran a rough nation with political and strategic concerns, including regional hegemony, human rights, terrorism, WMD proliferation, and military operations beyond the border. This study examines Iran's nuclear policies to demonstrate its essence, goal, and strategy.
