Abstract
Iran’s nuclear program has been the most important issue for its foreign policy during the last decade. This article tries to apply discourse analysis, as a research framework, to Iran’s nuclear policy during Ahmadinejad’s government. The authors explore main political discourse shape Iranian foreign policy and nuclear activity behavior during the last few years. Analysis of nuclear discourse of Ahmadinejad’s government shows that this discourse could become hegemonic by using effective interaction as its master signifier, more coherent and active political elements, use of exclusive and foregrounding processes, higher availability and reliability in comparison with other competing discourses. Finally, the article examines the reasons of the decline of Ahmadinejad's government nuclear discourse.
