Ebook: Iran’s Nuclear Odyssey. Costs and Risks

Washington DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2013. - 62 p.
Iran’s half-century nuclear odyssey has been marked by enormous financial costs, unpredictable
risks, and unclear motivations. The program’s covert history, coupled with the
Iranian government’s prohibition of open media coverage of the nuclear issue, has prevented
a much-needed internal debate about its cost-benefit rationale. Critical questions
about the program’s economic efficacy and safety have been left unanswered.
