Can Iran Achieve Its Nuclear Ambitions ?   
A new book written by a USC Dornsife professor suggests that aggressive regimes can undermine their nuclear programs with poor management.   
Sanctions, sabotage, diplomacy and even the threat of military action — the United Nations Security Council countries seem to be emptying their toolbox when it comes to containing Iranian nuclear ambitions. But nuclear proliferation expert Jacques Hymans thinks they may be overlooking the easiest solution of all: letting Iran’s program fail on its own.

Hymans, associate professor of international relations at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, has written Achieving Nuclear Ambitions, a new book suggesting that repressive, authoritarian regimes often undermine their own nuclear programs with the same heavy-handed management they use to control their countries. Scientists and equipment are pushed to the breaking point, which ultimately saps morale for atomic projects and fosters unprofessional scientific practices.
