The issue of nuclear technology has long influenced relations between western governments-especially USA-and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Today, the nuclear technology has become the main challenge between the two countries with USA claiming that it only wants to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Donald Trump on May 8, 2018, withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA),increasing the pressure on Iran through continued threats and raising sanctions. This study aims to analyze the cause of US’s inimical policy towards Iran and the reason for the escalation of hostility between the two countries. The question which is posed is whether what the United states really worries about is Iran’s probable violation of NPT Or there is another more important reason, namely , the Islamic Republic of Iran’s foreign policy in middle east which confronts the USA’s grand strategy towards offshore balancing in Persian Gulf. It is hypothesized that what really concerns USA and causes its hostility towards Iran, is not Iran’s probable violation of NPT, but is related to the changes in its approach to offshore balancing in Persian Gulf.. This study attempts to answer the aforementioned questions by utilizing a Phenomenological (historical & comparative) approach based on library resources.

Since the emergence of the Non-proliferation Treaty, the nuclear powers by ignoring two pillars of “disarmament” and “transfer of peaceful nuclear technology” have simultaneously preserved their nuclear arsenals and posed serious challenges to the NPT by focusing only on its non-proliferation dimension and putting pressure on non-nuclear states. These discriminative behaviors have resulted in disagreement between the member states and seriously jeopardized the integrity of the regime. Therefore some scholars by expressing concern about its legitimacy are looking for a way to survive it. Therefore, the present article by using a descriptive- analytical approach aims to analyze the nature, objectives and pillars of this treaty as well as present the pros, cons and challenges of the NPT. It would also try to evaluate whether imbalances in equal attention to the three pillars of the treaty will ultimately lead to its decline or there is still hope for improvement and expansion of this regime? The results of this paper reveals that despite the failure of complete nuclear disarmament due to the heavy consequences of its termination, it seems unlikely that by ignoring some of its achievements, efforts to reform this regime be abandoned and eventually lead to the downfall of the treaty.

Despite some advancement in some fields, international right has not been successful in some other fields. The international regimes falls on the unsuccessful group and the international rights has not developed evenly. International regimes include principles, norms, rules and procedures of decision-making which appears as conventions, treaties, contracts and statements. From among them, international security regimes have been developed slowly. It can be mentioned that Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (N.P.T) lies at the core of international security regimes. In this study we assume that this treaty is a discriminating treaty which is under the domination of world powers, and exerts unfair rights and commitments among the countries with nuclear technology and the countries without. A realistic investigation of N.P.T and the procedure that the countries with nuclear weapon follow show that the transition of nuclear knowledge from to the countries which do not have it lies at the very core of the goals of the treaty which is nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. The countries with nuclear technology try to keep this technology for themselves, and prevent other countries from native nuclear technology. The investigation of The Treaty, the production of nuclear bank, and the behavior toward Iran's nuclear issue prove this matter truly.

The concept of "non-proliferation regime" refers to policies and actions at national and international levels shaped in order to control WMD and high-tech transfer. This concept is related to the theory of "security regimes" as well as "multilateral arrangements export controls". In this article, after considering that theory and arrangements, particularly COCOM, NPT, MTCR and WASSENAAR, US security policy on the non-proliferation regime is surveyed

In December 1953, the US President, General Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his “Atoms for Peace” speech at the United Nation's General Assembly, which called for the promotion of peaceful uses of nuclear energy under special international agency. This proposal became the starting point for creating the IAEA in 1957 and adopting NPT in 1968. The Atoms for Peace initiative established the principles that all nations must work to stem nuclear proliferation and that all responsible nations should enjoy the peaceful benefits of nuclear power and technology under sound non-proliferation conditions. The purpose of this article is to analyze the degree of success of the international community in materialization of three main objectives of the Atoms for Peace proposal, ie., the peaceful application of nuclear technology, the realization of non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament.
