The Iran Situation today-really

In American Studies class, we've been learning a lot about the pretty modern situation in Iran, how they might be in the process of creating nuclear warheads, and what the U.S. should do about it. We are doing a simulation where we must pretend that it's a confirmed fact that Iran has a nuclear warhead, and are going to test it tomorrow. While this situation spans over the past few years, I decided to look up what's really going on in Iran right now.

I found an interview online with Linton F. Brooks, the Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. According to the interview, Iran is still a serious problem to the nonproliferation regime, because the possiblility of them having nuclear warheads could encourage Iran's neighbors such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia to do the same. The article also focuses on relations with countries we've talked about in class, such as China and Russia. I thought this was an interesting connection from a modern to even more modern issue!
