Descripción: The Iranian nuclear issue has lately become a political discussion of significance in both Iran and Western countries, with considerable disjunction emerging between the views of Iran and those of much of the West. The Iranian people generally argue that their country is entitled to sovereignty over civilian nuclear power and deny that their government has a nuclear weapons program. Western countries, on the other hand, feel the civilian program has a hidden agenda that includes the eventual production of nuclear weapons. Negotiations led by the European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN) have so far failed to yield satisfactory results. Since the referral of Iran's nuclear issue to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Iran has followed an uncompromising policy towards its nuclear program, linking it to its national security demands and real politics. Historical experience has also conditioned Iran's uncompromising nuclear policy, one which is consistent with the principles of the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Focusing on the nuclear ambitions of Iran, this article attempts to discern the principal logic behind the nation's uncompromising nuclear policy. The paper also tries to explore the possibility of international cooperation with Iran on the nuclear issue.
