Abstract

This study provides an interpretation of the developments of the nuclear program after the American-Ira­nian talks, which were held in Baghdad on 28 May 2007. The study also addresses the impact of the regional and international developments on the negotiations between Iran and the European Union, and between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. It also sheds light on the various positions towards the Iranian nuclear program and examines the proposed solutions.

The study presents some evidence to the effect that the general political mood in the region is pushing toward escalation, perhaps even a limited military confrontation.
