From the Paper:

"The interest of America in Iran is tied up with Iraq and if both become armed with nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, then that would determine America's activity in the region. Regarding the access by America through the straits of Hormuz, it may be better to arrange an international agreement on the matter, as that will stop the Iranians from blocking up the passage. (49) In the past, the system of sanctions by America against trade with Iran was effective in the case of certain countries, but the situation is changing rapidly in the world regarding such restrictions. It will not be possible for America to dictate terms to other countries much longer. It may be better to try to build up links with Iran on the ground. For this purpose, it is important to recognize the value of Iran in a regional forum that can be built up. This would help Iran pursue its dreams in the field of politics, economy and strategic interaction. This would also permit interaction before Iran acquires nuclear power and becomes more of a threat.
