Prospects for the resolution of the Iranian nuclear problem are still dim. The disclosure of the secret Iranian facilities dealt a serious blow to Tehran's assertions that it had not pursued any illegal nuclear activities. The present approach to the solution of the Iranian nuclear problem has little chance for success. The position of the world community towards the Iranian nuclear program can be characterized as the policy without a stick and carrot. Fortunately, in terms of technology, the Iranian nuclear program does not have the capability to create a nuclear weapons program quickly, even if Iran's leadership had set this as its aim.
