N2  - This study revisits the development of Iran’s nuclear program as progressed under distinct political regimes since August 2002, seeking to demonstrate that the international condemnation of Iranian nuclear ambitions stems from Western antipathy to the perceived nature of the Iranian regime rather than Tehran’s lack of compliance with technical non-proliferation terms. This study will examine the perceived political character of the Iranian regime between 2002-2005 and 2005-2009, with a focus on the correlation between President Ahmadinejad’s 2005 rise to power, and the passage of multiple United Nations Security Council (UNSCR) sanctions regimes invocating UN Charter Chapter VII. When thus viewed in a more comprehensive political context covering periods of progressive and conservative political leadership, the resulting escalation of international diplomatic tensions between 2002-2005 and 2005-2009 appears to indicate a distinctly perceptual rather than material crisis vis-à-vis the international position on the Iranian nuclear program
