NPR's Dire Ramifications

Obama's foreign policy towards Iran has been changed dramatically after the Iranian presidential election. Before coming to power, Obama had declared his policy of negotiation with Iran without any pre condition but this policy changed with the allegation of Iran's outlaw behavior in its nuclear policy. Recently and after the publishing of the U.S Nuclear Posture Review the tone of president Obama towards Iran became more aggressive and he implicitly threatened Iran to nuclear attack. This did not happen in Bush Neoconservative administration. Exploring the root cause of this kind of turning point in U.S foreign policy is of the main important-which is not the task of this writing. I am going to focus here on the NPR's implication on Iran. The United States is threatening Iran while there are some non NPT members who posses nuclear weapons like Israel. Iran according to IAEA's reports has not diverted from NPT and it permanently has been declaring that it going to use the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. This is exactly shows the double standard policy of the United States. The NPR is the breach of NPT per se and it's not only does not have the deterrence characteristics but also it is provocative and can persuade Iran to develop and change its policy toward nuclear weapon because a nuclear state has threaten to use the bomb against the country. It's obviously the threat to peace. In this case I believe that Iran has the right to bolster its defense capabilities even with non conventional weapons in order to deter the U.S possible attack. It is worth mentioning that lots of Iranian people believe that their country must acquire the nuclear weapons because it has many adversaries around the country. The new U.S policy can encourage the non nuclear states to posses the non conventional weapons. It seems that the U.S statesmen have ignored this dire ramification in their calculations.
