Iran and the Nuclear Weapons Controversy: A Geopolitical Flashpoint
Over the past two decades, Iran's nuclear program has been one of the most persistent and contentious issues in international politics. Despite Iran's insistence that its nuclear activities are solely for peaceful purposes, numerous nations, most notably the United States and its allies, have expressed serious concerns that Iran may be pursuing a nuclear weapons capability under the guise of a civilian program. In an effort to stop Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon in one of the world's most volatile regions, this issue has sparked years of diplomatic talks, sanctions, and tension in the region.
