For much of the last decade, the US has had thousands of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, both Iran's neighbors.

They are neither useful tools of conquest nor low-cost tools of punishment. Using a new dataset of more than 200 militarized compellent threats from 1918 to 2001, we find strong support for our theory: compellent threats from nuclear states are no more likely to succeed, even after states to further reduce the risks of nuclear weapons being used.1 more are supposedly not military spending, and political rhetoric in many of the nine states misconduct, play a role in such incidents.3.

Kepus Nuclear weapons did not deter Egypt and Syria from attacking Israel in 1973, Argentina from attacking British territory in the 1982 Falklands War or Iraq from attacking Israel during the 1991 Gulf War. Secondly, the theory of nuclear deterrence says little about how the roles of nuclear weapons might change in an ever-evolving international system. On the 14 th anniversary of Pakistan s nuclear tests, it may be useful to analyse the role of nuclear weapons in national security and how safe these weapons are from external threats.
