This article examines the measures pursued by the US to respond to the threat it perceives from Iran’s nuclear program. In general, the author contends that despite the economic and political sanctions as well as other measures undertaken by the US to respond to the threat, Washington has been frustrated in its attempts to curtail Iran's nuclear program. He also suggests that a military response to the threat in the form of missile defense technologies is not a solution to the problem either as it will merely complicate global and regional security issues.
