__**II. Background:**__ Iran is currently the holder of many nuclear weapons and is the biggest Muslim country holding nuclear weapons, uranium, and state sponsored terrorism. On the contrary, Iran is one of the biggest oil suppliers in the world. Because of this, the world is dependent on Iran, so when Iran decides not to obey the Nuclear proliferation treaty, we can not do anything about it. Therefore, Iran is currently one of the Nuclear Weapon holders, with France, the US, UK, Russia, and China. All countries have greed to lower their nuclear weapons, except Iran. In addition, the UN has attempted to order Iran to stop enriching their uranium fields, but Iran always fails to comply. This power hungry country has even started making more nuclear weapons, instead of following orders to decrease them. This has influenced other nuclear believing countries to illegally obtain their own, so the UN cannot even have them sign the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. This gives Iran a chance to threat all countries, which frighten all countries day after day.

__**III. UN Involvment:**__ The UN is very active in stopping Iran's bomb and uranium increase. The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) is also currently involved with stopping Iran's nuclear bomb tests, and urge Iran to let them check their nuclear bomb facilities, making sure nothing goes wrong. In addition, many watchdog operations have been performed by the IAEA, as well as urging Iran to follow the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. Still, Iran has failed to comply with the UN. The UN security council has also been involved with stopping Irans nuclear increase, but Iran has also disregaurded their involvement, and still fail to comply. This poses a bigger threat to all nations, but the UN has failed to stop this nuclear believing country, and Iran is gaining more power as we live on today.

__**VI. Country Policy / Possible Solutions**__ The United Kingdom has done everything in it's power to stop Iran from threatening all countries with their nuclear power. The United Kingdom is currently the number one donation country towards the UN and IAEA to stop Iran's power, In addition, the United Kingdom has also voted against all of Iran's nuclear rights. Even though the United Kingdom is the biggest contributor towards this dilemma, nothing has changed. Possible solution could include threatening Iran's power, or boycotting their oil supply until they decide to cooperate. However, and solutions would be hard to fulfill due to their power, and the world's dependency on their oil supply. Because of this, we think more of the many powerful countries should stand up, and help the situation that is going on with Iran.
