| Summary/Abstract |
In April 2009 the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (the P5+1) proposed to restart negotiations with Tehran without first requiring a freeze on Iranian uranium-enrichment activities. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad answered positively while extolling the claimed successes of the Iranian nuclear programme: completion of a fuel-pellet fabrication plant, 7,000 operational centrifuges in Natanz, and the testing of two new types of centrifuge. Meanwhile, Israeli officials and pundits continue to suggest that Israel will attack Iranian nuclear sites should the Natanz expansion continue.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article by Alon Ben-Meir addresses the insecurity created by states with nuclear weapons, and specifically discusses strategy for negotiating with Iran to prevent it from becoming another nuclear power. Again, one of the chief failures is the inability of larger powers and powers with different cultural expectations to engage in meaningful negotiation rather than using force which causes a greater reaction. Ben-Meir recognizes that at the heart of the matter is the desire of every people to improve their own well-being and that of their society. When threatened, a state, just like a person, reacts defensively. One key to negotiation with Iran is to include, in exchange for agreement to drop its nuclear weapons program, assistance in economic improvement, other guarantees of regional security, and recognition of grievances that have not been addressed.
