  • In late 2015, a deal was signed between the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany) and Iran to resolve the nuclear crisis, and on January 16, 2016, the deal was implemented, causing a great deal of consternation in Israel and across the Arab world, particularly within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In Cigar's own words, "thesis of this study is to be seen against a deeper background of Saudi Arabia's identity, national security culture, perceptions of its neighbors (and especially Iran), theoretical thinking about nuclear weapons, and national interests" (p. 5), yet this deeper background is weak.\n Even to those new to the region, and indeed the study of International Relations, it is clear that what happens domestically has international ramifications.
