The US and the UK appreciate you joining the coalition and secretly agree to support your nuclear program. Additionally, your gesture of support encourages a number of other important countries to join the coalition.
However, Iran takes your declaration and simultaneous militarization of US warheads as a highly threatening gesture and accelerates the testing process. A nuclear test now seems imminent, and secret intelligence shows that Israel is readying for a public nuclear test in response to any Iranian test.
| Maintain the status quo | Keep US warheads ready and deployed. Demand that Iran back down. Meet with coalition members to create plan of action in case of conflict. (Realism) |
| Hold bilateral talks | Try to bring Israel and Iran to the table to agree to an armistice and a reduction in nuclear capacity. (Liberalism) |
| Use multilateral negotiations to try to diffuse the conflict | Include relevant Iranian allies as well as key Israeli allies to help diffuse tension between Iran and Israel. (Liberalism) |
| Withdraw from the coalition | Think of domestic economic pressures. Publicly declare opposition to both Iranian and Israeli nuclear tests, but declare unwillingness to engage in any pre-emptive military action. Withdraw to protect overseas economic interests. (Marxism) |
