“…The approach to the Iraq War in 2002 and 2003 demonstrated clearly that, on major issues of international importance, comity among the great powers cannot be taken for granted. Indeed, continuously watered‐down resolutions on the Iranian nuclear weapons issue (Saikal 2006:193) and on the Darfur humanitarian crisis demonstrate how difficult soft power through the U.N. promises to be, especially since the division seems to fall along a U.S.–U.K. versus China‐Russia divide.…”

“…As we head into the 21st century, the study of interactions between the United States and Iran is taking on a great deal of urgency for both policy makers and academics alike. The election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with his exceptionally bellicose language suggesting that the Holocaust was a “myth” and that Israel be “wiped off the map” 2 alongside the development of a nuclear energy program which might result in the production of weapons technology has created considerable concerns in the United States (Bowen and Kidd 2004; Saikal 2006). President Ahmadinejad’s announcement in April 2006 that Iran had developed the capability to enrich uranium to the industrial use level of 3.5% (a considerable distance from the 93% that is needed to become weapons grade) sent shockwaves through western capitals 3 .…”

“…President Ahmadinejad’s announcement in April 2006 that Iran had developed the capability to enrich uranium to the industrial use level of 3.5% (a considerable distance from the 93% that is needed to become weapons grade) sent shockwaves through western capitals 3 . While Iran denies that it intends to use this technology for the production of nuclear weapons there are many who doubt that Iran does not want to join the nuclear weapons club (Fitzpatrick 2006; Saikal 2006; Tarock 2006).…”

“…Despite its divided society, many Iranian people supported their government with regard to their country's nuclear issues (Bahgat, 2007). If Iran continued to acquire nuclear weapons, these would likely be used as part of a deterrent strategy (Islam, 2010;Saikal, 2006;Sherrill, 2012). The state might also have learned from countries possessing nuclear weapons outside the P-5.…”

“…The meeting decided to report Iran to the UNSC by 27 votes to three (Venezuela, Cuba, and Syria), with five abstentions including Indonesia (Dewaele & Pullinger, 2006). Russia and China supported the resolution on the condition that it did not contain any clause stipulating immediate sanctions (Saikal, 2006). Enforcement of the resolution was postponed until the Director General of the IAEA delivered a report before the IAEA meeting in March 2006 (Dewaele & Pullinger, 2006;Saikal, 2006).…”
