Abstract :

The concept of a nuclear Iran means the improvement of technical capabilities in the direction of uranium enrichment, fuel plate loading and storage of enriched uranium for industrial and strategic purposes. The main actors of international politics, who have the monopoly of nuclear capability, have opposed and confronted the increase of Iran's capability. This shows that international politics is the main axis of controlling the foreign relations of actors in the world system. In Mersheimer's aggressive neorealism writing, great powers have an aggressive foreign policy and do not want to change the power balance of regional actors. The major powers have de facto agreed with the nuclearization of Israel, while they have always used their foreign and strategic policy to confront Iran and have resisted and opposed any strategic empowerment and geopolitical leap of Iran in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. The main question of the article is "with what goals and mechanisms have the main actors of international politics, including: China, Russia, the United States and the main countries of the European Union, limited Iran's nuclear capability in 1956-2021?" The hypothesis of the article refers to the fact that "Iran's nuclearization has left an impact on the geopolitical balance of the regional environment and this has led to limiting, restraining and confronting Iran's nuclear capability by the main actors of international politics."
