Stability in the region with Iranian Nuclear Power
The highly praised neo-realist thinker Kenneth Waltz is of the opinion that Iran should go nuclear (Waltz, 2012). He considers that a nuclear Iran will bring nuclear stability in the area of the Middle East. There have been past antagonism and unsympathetic liaison between Iran and the US and her supporter Israel. The anxiety has lately been intensify by Iran’s nuclear ambition (Wege, 2013).

The West has reacted to this endeavor by hitting Tehran with various sanctions and trade embargos on her commodities. We have seen how ineffective this is against North-Korea and yet they have in the end been able to develop nuclear weapons. After acquiring nuclear weapons for several years the North-Korean leadership has not directly decided to use it neither against their southern neighbors nor against Japanese and US military bases and installations. Thus the question poses: how will the region change if Iran acquires the Nuclear weapon?
The proposition of Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been in black and white and broadly argued on how treacherous such a shift will be. Most US, European and Israel observers and officials warn that a nuclear-armed Iran would be the most terrible probable result of the confrontation on uranium enrichment in Iran. A number of possibilities have been hypothesizing on how to take on with the predicament over Iran’s nuclear program. As said before, sanctions have been used to penalize Iran but they have uncompromisingly chased the yearning for nuclear technology. Analysts have seen this calculation as ineffective since Iran is resolute to pursue her defense program by possessing nuclear knowledge, just similar to the
