Kugler, Richard L. An Extended Deterrence Regime to Counter Iranian Nuclear Weapons: Issues and Options. Washington, Center for Technology and National Security Policy, National Defense University, 2009. 50 p.
Anayzes the idea of creating a U.S.-led "extended deterrence regime" to respond to potential Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons and missiles. It does not focus on how to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed power. Instead it addresses how the U.S. Government can act to deter Iran in a future setting where Iran already possesses these weapons and is trying to employ them to geopolitical advantage.

While several nations in the region already have small nuclear research reactors, and Israel has used its research reactor to produce enough plutonium for 100 to 180 nuclear weapons, the only Middle East nation to build a nuclear power plant has been Iran. Iran could also strike back with a number of asymmetrical responses, none easy to counter including mining or otherwise shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for oil transport in the Persian Gulf; attacks on Israel, either directly or through surrogate forces, that could bring Arab publics to its side; attacks on US forces in Iraq through Shiite militias; and attacks on American commercial and military sites around the world.

According to senior UN officials, construction is to be finished in 2011, and the reactor is expected to come online in 2013.

The United States responded by cutting off heavy fuel oil shipments to North Korea, which led North Korea to withdraw from the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and resume plutonium production. Uranium hexafluoride is fed into gas centrifuges in order to enrich uranium to low levels for power reactors or high levels for nuclear weapons.

Democracy and Nuclear Arms Control -- Destiny or Ambiguity? Security Studies 17:810-854 October 2008.
Is there a particularly democratic way of dealing with nuclear arms control? Against the background of democratic peace (DP) theory, and using Immanuel Kant's writing as a starting point, this article argues that democracies should indeed develop a preference for arms control, but that Liberalism as well as the nature of nuclear weapons opens the possibility for contingent developments within a DP framework.

Reviewing the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Carlisle, PA, Strategic Studies Institute, U.S. Army War College, 2010. 447 p.
"As currently interpreted, it is difficult to see why the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) warrants much support as a nonproliferation convention. Most foreign ministries, including that of Iran and the United States, insist that Article IV of the NPT recognizes the ’inalienable right’ of all states to develop ’peaceful nuclear energy’. This includes money-losing activities, such as nuclear fuel reprocessing, which can bring countries to the very brink of acquiring nuclear weapons. If the NPT is intended to ensure that states share peaceful "benefits" of nuclear energy and to prevent the spread of nuclear bomb making technologies, it is difficult to see how it can accomplish either if the interpretation identified above is correct."--P. 3
