What does Waltz conclude about competition between the United States and Iran to dominate the Persian Gulf region?
 
  a. Most of the other states in the region will likely choose to ally with Iran over the United States because they have more to fear from America's massive military might than from Iran's much smaller force.
  b. The competition between the United States and Iran is based on ideological concerns rather than on material strategic concerns and will likely disappear as ideological fervor in both countries dwindles.
  c. Most of the other states in the region will likely choose to ally with Iran over the United States because they share Iran's Islamic faith.
  d. Most of the other states in the region will likely choose to ally with the United States over Iran because Iran is a more proximate threat.
  e. Iranian influence in the region will gradually increase as its neighbors react against the potentially destabilizing effect of America's pro-democratic agenda on their own regimes.

Question 2

Why does Waltz believe that an Iranian nuclear attack on Israel is unlikely?

  b. The religious leadership of Iran has exhibited a high level of respect for the Israeli people.
  c. The expected change in Iran leadership reduces the risk of danger to Israel.
  d. The diffuse nature of the Iranian territory makes it difficult for them to concentrate their efforts in one direction.
  e. The ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel have created a desire for peaceful negotiations.
