Although Iran claims to produce nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, this claim does not convince the Western powers. This article argues that Iran¡¯s nuclear energy policy is not solely designed for energy production it also has a different dimension stemming from Iran¡¯s conflicts with the West. It is not expected that the problem in the short term would escalate into a war, but it has the potential of increasing the regional tension. %K Nuclear Energy %K Iran %K USA %K China %K Russia %K Sanction %K Conflict %U http://www.historystudies.net/Makaleler/1142552175_27-Zafer%20Akba%C5%9F.pdf
