"Paradoxical Policies - EU, Iran and U.S Triangle
Arzu Celalifer
Let’s look over a global policy based on a paradoxical framework and the changes occurred due to the fluctuations in the world’s balance of powers. Using this theorem will be helpful to understand the Iran’s nuclear issue that has engaged the world’s agenda nowadays.

It will be noteworthy to remind that the first nuclear reactor was given to Iran by the U.S (United States) in 1967. It was a 5 Megawatt trigger research reactor under the Eisenhower Atoms for Peace Program[1]. Following this, Iran signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968 that gives her the inalienable right to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without restriction, and acquire equipment, materials and scientific and technological information. The nuclear program was triggered by the U.S and after a report prepared by Stanford Research Institute putted it out that Iran would need, by the year 1990, an electrical capacity of about 20.000 Megawatt the Shah announced his policy of 23.000 Megawatt of nuclear energy. Here is the paradoxical point that to be underlined."
