DanMUN 2010 will evolve around the issue of Iran and their nuclear program, with the impending Security Council sanctions in mind.

DanMUN 2010 "Scenario Teaser"

"Iran's nuclear program is one of the most polarizing global issues in one of the world's most volatile regions. While American and European officials believe Tehran is planning to build nuclear weapons, Iran's leadership says that its goal in developing a nuclear program is to generate electricity without dipping into the oil supply it prefers to sell abroad, and to provide fuel for medical reactors. Currently, President Obama and the European Union are working to convince Russia and China to agree to stepped-up sanctions against Iran as a way of convincing it to suspend the nuclear enrichment it recently accelerated. At the same time, the United States was asking Israel, which sees itself as the country most threatened by an Iranian nuclear bomb, to hold off on any military strike against Tehran’s program while diplomacy progresses.

The issue has been complicated by Iran’s internal politics; the revival of the program in 2006 in defiance of international opinion helped President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad establish his hard-line credentials, and the turmoil since his disputed reelection in June 2009 has increased his reliance on the Revolutionary Guards, who are closely linked to the program. Further muddying the waters, many experts question whether much of Iran's nuclear work is meant simply to enhance its negotiating position.
Now, participate in DanMUN 2010 and join the discussions on how the Security Council should deal with the evolving crisis in Iran? Are sanctions the way to prevent from acquiring the bomb? Is Iran's nuclear program purely peaceful? What should you think of situation in Iran and how should the world react?"
