WIIS Israel Middle East ReviewSteven AielloWomen in International Security Israel Sina Kashefipouraffiliation not provided to SSRN Sarah Oliaiaffiliation not provided to SSRN January 15, 2012 Women in International Security Israel Middle East Review, Vol. 2, No. 3, January 2012 Abstract: Iran is the central focus in this edition of The WIIS Israel Middle East Review. Iran’s foreign policy goals hold key implications for regional issues, and domestically the theocratic regime faces complex challenges. This issue opens with an article discussing the obstacles Iran’s government faces in terms of maintaining its legitimacy. Next we look at whether or not the Islamic run government in Iran does indeed abide by Sharia law as it purports to, focusing on applications of the punishment of stoning for convicted adulterers. Finally, we take a closer look at the Jewish minority in Iran and the challenges facing their community. This issue is highlighted by an interview with Dr. Emily Landau, an expert on Iranian deterrence and Israel’s security policies. She offers her insights on what the future holds as a nuclear Iran becomes an increasingly closer reality.
