The University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics announces the release of a new policy paper written by Khosrow B. Semnani, The Ayatollah’s Nuclear Gamble: The Human Cost of Military Strikes Against Iran’s Nuclear Facilities, which argues that the humanitarian rights of innocent civilians should forestall any military strike against Iran by Israel and/or the U.S.

As Western negotiators struggle to find a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear challenge amid heightened unrest in the Middle East, the threat of Israeli military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities cannot be discounted. Much talk has been devoted to the likelihood and efficacy of such strikes while overlooking the massive human casualties and nuclear fallout that would inevitably follow.

The Ayatollah’s Nuclear Gamble neither apologizes for the Iranian regime nor does it ignore decades of carelessness by its government. Instead, Khosrow B. Semnani, an expert with decades of experience in the management of nuclear waste and hazardous materials, demonstrates how the vast toxic plumes released by an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and reactors would endanger the innocent--primarily in major Iranian population centers and throughout the entire Persian Gulf region.
