Iran Engagement Policy Option

34 years ago, the Islamic Revolution not only changed the leadership of Iran, but also changed the complex and tense relationship with the United States. The focus of this paper is the analysis of Iran's participation in the policy selection outlined in the CSIS report "Bay Kaleidoscope: Iran's Challenge Study". Liberalist international relations theory uses the principle of economic interdependence and democratic transparency. For 30 years, the exchange between US and Iranian diplomats was tactical rather than strategic.

However, these policies are also exceptional. Iran's foreign policy is almost practical and defensive. Perhaps the most prominent Iranian international policy in recent years was the joint comprehensive action plan (JCPOA) - the signing of an agreement with the United States, the UK, Germany, France, Russia and China to limit Iran's nuclear program. Even those who believe that the contract is defective (what is human creation) can not be said that Iran's commitment to it is unstable. (One example is Karmi Gillon's article on foreign policy, former Israeli president Shin Bet and JCPOA said that it would "have a positive impact on Israeli security.")

Finally, much of the historical debate concerning Iraq so far reflects the current policy debate on US choice for Iran's nuclear development program. Recently, some scholars suggest that war with Iran is "worst choice" (Kroenig 2012). We believe that the cost of preventive war against Iran is small compared to the effect of nuclearization of Iran. I do not agree (Debs and Monteiro 2012). The cost of preventive war against Iran is high. Given the fact that important facilities are buried near densely populated areas and deep underground, even a limited blow to Iran 's nuclear development plan can cause significant expense. In addition, a limited preventive strike will never end Iran's nuclear development program. It may happen later and even increase. Therefore, preventive war against Iran is not an ideal choice.

I support nuclear weapons trading with Iran. It is because Iran can stop buying nuclear weapons today. Since reaching an agreement, several prominent foreign policy and defense leaders, including Mosad's former prime minister Eflem Hammelwi, more than 50 former US senior diplomats, and senior troops, Recognizing Leader Even Gardy Eisencott, the current Chief Executive of the Israel Defense Forces, expresses this transaction as a "historical opportunity".
