Iran: The Essential Guide to a Country on the Brink
Description:
On June 24, 2005, after nearly ten years of supporting liberal reform, the people of Iran surprised the world by electing the conservative mayor of Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as their new president. Soon after, the new president announced Iran would restart its uranium enrichment program, drawing international criticism and condemnation from leaders in Europe and the United States. Many observers suspect it is the desire to produce not nuclear energy but nuclear weapons that lies behind Iran's controversial decision.
Ever since President George W. Bush described Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as the ""Axis of Evil,"" Iran has garnered increased international attention and threatens to become the new focus of European and American foreign policy.
