There isn't really any evidence that demonstrates that Iran are attempting to develop nuclear weapons, despite decades of intense scrutiny. Their public reasoning for their nuclear program is and has always been to provide internal energy security. In fact, it was the USA started their civilian nuclear program, but later reneged on agreements after the Iranian revolution.
- jbob2000 7y agoThe original purpose of the nuclear energy program in the US was so they could have any number of facilities able to create nukes at a moment's notice. It was just a happy coincidence that we could also draw power from these reactors. Nowadays, we have reactor designs that can't be leveraged for weapons manufacturing. But that doesn't mean that other countries won't try the old US strategy.
