What is the main foreign or defense policy threat posed by Iran? o civil unrest o nuclear capabilities o trade disagreements o conventional arms o economic collapse Which of the following best describes the world's superpowers since the end of World War II? o The United States and the Soviet Union were rival superpowers until the end of the Cold War, when the United States became the sole superpower. o The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Soviet Union have been rival superpowers since the end of World War II. o The United States and the Soviet Union were the only two rival superpowers until the end of the Cold War, when China also became a rival superpower. o The United States has been the sole superpower since the end of World War II. o The United States and the Soviet Union were rival superpowers until the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the United States and Russia became rival superpowers.
