The United States and the European Union continue with a two-prong approach to dealing with Iran's nuclear program. Incentives are offered if Iran will only stop the production of enriched uranium, and sanctions are imposed as long as Iran continues to make the nuclear fuel which can be used to build nuclear bombs.

Iran declared that the new sanctions are "illegal” and vowed to plow on with their nuclear program. U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack says that, with a united diplomatic front, Western sanctions can work to resolve the nuclear standoff.

Israel recently mounted a large military exercise with extensive aerial maneuvers, prompting speculation that Israel was rehearsing a possible air strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. What are the prospects for resolving the Iranian nuclear question with diplomacy?
