Iran’s Motivations for Maintaining Its Nuclear Program
Özet
Iran's nuclear program has become an international issue after the emergence of the secret execution of a portion of its nuclear activities. Countries which were concerned about Iran's nuclear program began to implement sanctions to discourage Iran's nuclear activities. Although Iran harmed by sanction resolutions, particularly in terms of economy, continued its nuclear activities. This thesis is trying to explain Iran's motivations for maintaining its nuclear program. For this purpose, it has benefited from the theoretical approaches to explain the reasons for the proliferation of nuclear weapons in this thesis. Categorization that revealed by Scott Sagan(Three Models Approaches) is used; because applying all existing theoretical approaches to Iran's nuclear program is beyond the scope of this study.
