Final Post: Iranian Nuclear Talks

Our group covered the Iranian nuclear talks. As part of our research we touched upon various elements of Iran’s nuclear program. Throughout the semester we presented a broad overview of the issue with Iran including a background of Iran’s connection to nuclear arms and why this area in particular has triggered global apprehension. Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons dates back several decades. Over the course of research we covered the revelation of nuclear development in Iran, deals made with Russia, as well as the ultimate intervention of the United Nations. We also analyzed the issue’s significance evaluating why Iran’s nuclear program is a serious threat and the potential detriments it could result in. We examined the preventative measures that have been taken by the international community and the result of these actions. Finally, we discussed the current situation in Iran and where the nation currently stands with different global powers. 

Research for this topic was done independently by each group member and then presented in one cohesive post. Working as a group made it so that every person could conduct their own research individually and then share what they found as a contribution to the group project.

This project required that I explore the topic of the nuclear situation in Iran further. Prior to this project, I had only a general and very basic understanding of the Iranian nuclear talks. Now I feel that I have a deeper understanding of the issue overall and more specifically, a better understanding of the international ties and why this is considered a global issue. The group project also stressed the importance of communication when working in a group. Having to work on this project in a group setting really stressed the importance of communication. Working with six different people involves six different ideas and six different approaches which can be difficult to merge into one cohesive piece. To do this effectively, coordination and frequent communication are imperative.
