تاثير فعاليت‌هاي هسته اي ايران بر همگرايي امنيتي در بين اعضاي شوراي همكاري خليج فارس

The Impact of Iran’s Nuclear Activities on Security Convergence Among the Members of Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC)

منطقه خليج‌فارس از چند دهه گذشته در كانون مساله امنيت بين‌المللي بوده است. عوامل متعددي از قبيل منابع انرژي، رقابتهاي منطقه اي و قدرتهاي خارجي در همگرايي و واگرايي ميان كشورهاي حاشيه خليج فارس موثر بوده است. در حال حاضر مولفه جديدي به اين عوامل اضافه شده است كه فضاي امنيتي حوزه خليج فارس را دستخوش تغييرات نموده است. هدف پژوهش حاضر اين است كه نشان دهد جهان غرب و به ويژه آمريكا چگونه با تسليحاتي نشان دادنِ فعاليتهاي هسته اي صلح آميز جمهوري اسلامي ايران فضاي امنيتي خليج فارس را وارد فاز جديدي كرده است و از اين طريق سعي دارد منافع خود و اسراييل را با روي آوردن كشورهاي منطقه به همگرايي امنيتي تامين نمايد كه شاهد اين فرآيند خريدهاي كلان تسليحاتي و تلقي جمهوري اسلامي ايران به عنوان تهديد توسط كشورهاي منطقه است.

In the last several decades, the Persian Gulf region has become a paramount issue of international security. Various factors, such as energy resources, regional competition and the interest of super powers in the region have been the causes of convergence and/or divergence in the foreign policy of Persian Gulf Countries. Recently, however, a new dimension, Iran’s nuclear activities, has been added to the above referred factors creating a further confliction ground to already existing turbulent region. The purpose of this study is to show how the believe of the United States that Iran hides its real intention of opting for atomic weaponry under the pretext of atomic activity for merely energy production and peaceful use of it has pushed the region into a new security phase. Thus, by accusing Iran’s purpose of nuclear activity to be directed toward obtaining nuclear weaponry, the United States in fact trying to enhance its own and Israel’s interest in the region.
