SUMMARY:The Iran-Israel-US Nuclear Imbroglio
DESCRIPTION:Conférence publique organisée par la Chaire de recherche du C
 anada Islam\, Pluralisme et Globalisation de l'Université de Montréal. I
 nvité Eric Hooglund Résumé During 2011 and 2012\, Israeli Prime Minist
 er Benjamin Netanyahu made repeated threats that his country must bomb Ira
 n’s nuclear sites to prevent the latter country from acquiring a nuclear
  bomb\, which development\, according to Netanyahu\, would pose an existen
 tial threat to Israel. The United States officially maintains that Iran do
 es not yet have a nuclear bomb\, but that its enrichment of uranium provid
 es it with the technical expertise to make one quickly and\, therefore\, 
 ‘all options are on the table’ to prevent it from acquiring a bomb. Wh
 at is all this threatening talk about? Is Iran actually building a bomb\, 
 as Netanyahu -and perhaps the USA - claims\, and if so\, does that justify
  a pre-emptive Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities? The aim of t
 his presentation is to decode the rhetoric of senior political leaders in 
 both the United States and Israel about Iran’s alleged efforts to develo
 p a nuclear weapon in order to understand the complicated political issues
  at stake for the region - and the world. Note biographique Eric Hooglund 
 is Lund University’s international academic expert of contemporary Iran 
 (1945 to the present)\, a country about which he has been researching\, te
 aching and writing since the early 1970s. His most recent books\, Gender i

 ) and Navigating Contemporary Iran: Challenging Economic\, Social & Politi
 cal Perceptions (co-edited with Leif Stenberg\, Routledge\, forthcoming\, 
 January 2012)\, reflect his broad interdisciplinary research interests and
  complements his previous publications—five books and over 100 articles\
 , which examine diverse aspects of Iranian culture\, government\, history\
 , international relations\, literature\, migration\, political economy\, s
 ociology\, and religion. Although trained as a political scientist (MA and
  PhD degrees in International Relations from Johns Hopkins University)\, h
 is best-known work falls in the category of rural political economy and so
