Abstract

The material I used is primarily secondary.

I find that the situation with Iran are currently in a dead lock, none of the contending parties are about to yield. The foremost reason being various understanding of the situation. The Vest is urging Iran to confess to the nature of there nuclear program and Iran repeatedly dispute the allegation that they have a nuclear program with non-peaceful intention. So far dialog and more aggressive sanctions has been the strategy towards Iran. Still theirs no telling to how long the parties will keep to non-violent action. The Vests intentions with a peaceful world are good, let's hope the nature of the dispute will be as well. (Less)
