The following article reveals information on the present crisis in Iran and several means to resolve it.
Several months ago, Russia announced that it would be ready to take Iran’s uranium for enriching process. This might have been a solution to long and thorny crisis. Apparently few persons do not know that there are some reasons to assume that Iran intends to acquire nuclear weapons, yet at the same time Iran maintains that it needs nuclear energy for peaceful purposes only. Most of Western countries that participate in negotiations with Iran on this thorny issue agreed that it was a reasonable solution to the stalemate in the crisis. Yet, it looks like Iran might be inclined accept this solution as well.
Even if Iran acquiesces to Russian proposals, there is no guarantee that this would be an effective solution for the long term period. One must remember that Iran had surreptitiously been developing nuclear program before it was revealed several years ago. Even if most of Iranian nuclear program was transferred to Russia, Iran would still have suffice resources, knowledge, professionals and above all-will to produce nuclear weapon. If one takes into account past experience, then it is possible to draw the conclusion that Iran will continue its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons whatever solutions other countries and nations might provide. Iran is determined to become mini-regional superpower. Few persons who are acquainted with current situation in this region would doubt that Iran has all reasons to become at least the strongest military power in the region. It has comparatively modern and highly-equipped army as well as large resources of oil and other energy sources. As one can judge by current internal situation in Iran some hardliners and conservatives might think that their country should acquire nuclear weapons in order to enhance its power in the world.
Neither there are substantial grounds to believe that Iran will inform other countries about its decisions in the future, (as a former Iranian citizen, now a web site copywriter at our company claims). So what steps must be taken to resolve the issue?! In order to answer this question one should distinguish between long-term and short-term prospects. Apparently none of current proposals is acceptable for all nations that participate in negotiations. Productive progress can be possible only if there are some valuable concessions from Western countries (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4789356.stm). Concessions such as concrete proposals to resolve some economic and social problems in Iran in return for the abandoning of nuclear ambitions of the country might help to resolve this protracted and very dangerous crisis.
