Beyond Nuclear Ambiguity
The Iranian nuclear program has a long peculiar history that is rooted back in the ’50s in midst of the bilateral confrontation between United States (US) and the Soviet Union (USSR).1
After the successful coup
against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq (19 August 1953), Persia was
regarded as a crucial partner within the strategic concept of the Northern
Tier and the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO).2
As a result, Mohammad Reza Shah (1941-1979) benefitted from this position and could
further strengthen its economic, military and scientific ties with the West
