Analysts and commentators usually focus on nuclear proliferation and crisis in the nonproliferation regime.33 This can be misleading, since the rate of nuclear reversal in world politics is surprisingly high-much higher in recent decades than the incidence of new nuclear aspirants or possessor states.34 As noted earlier, nuclear reversal occurs when a nuclear aspirant state, or even a nuclear possessor state, gives up its nuclear ambitions and any nuclear weapons it has.
As political scientist Gamaliel Perruci has noted: "Brazil, in its drive for super power status under military rule (1964-85), placed strong emphasis on military might as a source of prestige and political inde- pendence."53 Brazil's military rulers wielded nuclear ambitions for years while disparaging the international nonproliferation regime as an at- tempt by external powers to deprive Brazil of its rightful power status.54
As a further observation, it merits reiterating that continuing international support for the nuclear nonproliferation regime is essential to maintaining the strength of the global norm against nuclear prolif- eration, which in turn is crucial to preserving a situation where nuclear arming is unappealing to most states as they search for status in the world.
Therefore the United States and other states should steadfastly support the nonproliferation regime and efforts to discredit nuclear pro- liferation if the desire is to effectively prevent an Iranian bomb
