Iran and the Bomb by Sina Azodi
Iran and the Bomb examines the history, politics, and strategic calculations behind Iran’s nuclear program and the long-running international debate over Iran and nuclear weapons.
Written by Sina Azodi, a scholar of Middle East politics and U.S.-Iran relations, the book places Iran’s nuclear ambitions within the broader history of Iranian national security, diplomacy, regional politics, and relations with the United States.
Drawing on historical research and analysis of Iranian foreign and security policy, Iran and the Bomb explores how Iranian leaders have approached nuclear technology, deterrence, sovereignty, and international pressure over time. It also considers the role of the United States, regional security competition, sanctions, diplomacy, and the nuclear negotiations that shaped the modern debate over Iran’s nuclear program.
The book is intended for readers interested in Iranian politics, Iran’s nuclear program, U.S.-Iran relations, Middle East security, nuclear proliferation, and international relations.
