Iran and the Bomb: The United States, Iran and the Nuclear Question

內容簡介

內容簡介 伊朗的核能計畫至今仍是現代國際政治中最具爭議的問題之一。本書首開先河，將伊朗核能策略（計畫）的演變置於其與美國關係的宏觀背景下進行追溯——從 1950 年代初期美國全面支持的鼎盛時期，到伊朗革命後演變成的堅決反對，以及隨後的計畫重組。書中記錄了多個關鍵時刻，包括在伊朗境內啟動濃縮鈾計畫的初步會議、內部的重要辯論、《聯合全面行動計畫》（JCPOA，即伊朗核協議）的簽署、唐納·川普引發爭議的退出協議，以及近期重啟協議的種種努力。本書指出，由於核能計畫的戰略邏輯超越了政體類型的差異，因此對美國而言，「拆解伊朗核能計畫」並非一個可行的政策選項。相反地，美國必須學會與一個「核門檻國家」（nuclear threshold state）共存，並將「確保伊朗的核能力盡可能遠離製造核彈」列為首要任務。本研究基於美國解密文件以及常被忽視的伊朗第一手資料，包括政治回憶錄、外交書信、伊朗核能官員的口述歷史，以及對伊朗科學家與國安官員的獨家深度訪談。本書的敘述與發現，對於核不擴散研究學者及政策制定者皆具有重要的啟示。Iran’s nuclear program remains one of the most contentious issues of modern international politics. This book is the first to trace the evolution of Iran’s nuclear strategy (program) in the broader context of its relationship with the United States, from the early days of total US support in the 1950s to the staunch opposition that followed the Iranian revolution, and its reconstitution.The account covers the pivotal moments including initial meetings to pursue uranium enrichment in Iran, key internal debates, the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Donald Trump’s controversial withdrawal and the latest efforts to revive the agreement. The book shows that because the strategic logic of the nuclear program transcends the regimes type, dismantling the Iranian nuclear program is not viable policy option for the United States. Instead, the US must learn to live with a nuclear threshold state and make it a priority to keep Iranian capacity as far away from the bomb as possible.The research is based on American declassified documents and often marginalized Iranian primary sources including political memoirs, diplomatic correspondences, oral histories from Iranian nuclear officials and exclusive one-on-one interviews with Iranian scientists and national security officials. The account and its findings have important implications for both scholars of nuclear non-proliferation and for policymakers.

各界推薦

各界推薦 Sina Azodi's book is an excellent history and analysis of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. He explains the motivational and strategic logic of the program, tilting neither toward bias nor off-putting detachment. Azodi cares about the issue, but this helps rather than hinders his analysis. His sourcing is unprecedented and original, which makes this book essential reading for anyone who is interested in the issue of nuclear proliferation, Iran’s foreign policy and Middle East politics. -- Ross Harrison, Senior Fellow Middle East Institute, Washington, DC, USDr Azodi brings empathetic balance to the highly polarized issue of Iran's nuclear quest. His assessments are carefully weighed, and his evidence draws equally on Iranian and American primary sources. The comprehensive narrative presented by Iran and the Bomb is insightful, even for observers well acquainted with the subject. -- Mark Fitzpatrick, Associate Fellow, International Institute for Strategic Studies, US (former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for NonProliferation)Dr. Sina Azodi has written a lucid, informed history of Iran’s nuclear program, using Iranian and American sources to clarify the strategic logic and the intense domestic disputes behind it. Clear-eyed, incisive, and richly documented, this is a compelling analysis of one of the defining security challenges of our time. A must-read. -- Professor Mohsen Milani, author of Iran's Rise and Rivalry with the United States in the Middle East
