Iran wants to become the superpower of the middle east nations. If you want to know what is up with them there is a magazine that you can get that will really wow you on what our country and other countries are up to. It is better than the t.v. media and our government anouncments 'cause there is no spin to it and it really knocks your sock off on what you arn't being told. If you are interested write to 'The Trumpet magazine, p.o. box 3700, Edmond, Oklahoma, 73083'. And the neat thing is it doesn't cost anything, I have been getting it for 7 years now and all they want you to do is renew once a year and they don't ask you for anything else. Try it, the things in it will leave your mouth open.

Are you serious? Iran's current president SAID he wants to destroy the US and ISRAEL!!!  Why does he need a nuclear power plant when his country is soaked in oil???

well obviously you know that one isotope is weapons grade and one is not.  the iranians want the isotope that can be dismantled into nuclear weapons because thats what they plan on doing with it...  the United Nations offered to give them the alternative nulcear energy isotope plant but they refuse... they want the weapons grade, wonder why?

Be real.  It's not just the US concerned about it, it's pretty much the rest of the world.  Iran cannot be trusted with it and that's that, their government is always unstable and you don't know who'll be controlling the nukes next year.

I don't understand. US suggests they want to attack Israel. But Iran has already tons of WMD's and an outstanding army (nothing to do with the Taliban Afghanistan, or the isolated Sadam), besides the great power of being the fourth reserve of oil, and the economic power it represents.  \nIran says they want nuclear power, to be a developed country. But it's not necessary to have nuclear power to develop. Many European countries or the neighbour Arab Emirats, are more than developed wihtout nuclear power. \n\nA military strike would be the worse option. If they want to have nuclear power or even nukes, they should, like many other countries, even with dictators do. Only because they don't have a good relationship with Israel or US, it shouldn't be banned. \nIf in 10 years they dare to attack someone with nukes, they will be easily smashed back. \nI mean they might be extremists, but they're not suicides.

Good question, why countries prefer to use oil products instead of coal?\n1. oil isn't ready to use in plants and needs to be refined several times,\n2. Other oil products are really more valuable that let Iran burn its oil in order to make electricity.\n3. Iran will have oil for about 20 years, it is not a long time for a country\n4. Iran is using its maximum speed of oil production right now, no place for extra use\n\nAlso I think you may know that after decomposition of USSR there was a rich black market on military equipment consist of nukes in middle east and iran probably have bought the Uranium it needed.\nAlso blueprints for a nuke was given to iran by CIA so Iran has the nukes right now.\nEdit:\nAbout military presence you must know that Afghanistan is east of Iran, Turkey have been US ally from long ago and US uses its airports for military purposes, US fleet have been in Persian Gulf since 1988 (I think), so still you think US captured Iraq because being near to Iran?\nAnd about Vietnam-like experience, do you know that US had an operation in Iran in 1980 (very funny operation,Iranian was asleep,us troops came, hit each other, burnt themselves,ranaway,Iranian wokeup and saw the mess)? I will give you the link in Sources.\nI must add that Iran is not like Afghanistan(with USSR and then Civil war between Taliban and Iran related groups) which was at war since I remember or Iraq which also was at war since I remember [Iran, Kuwait,US(91),US(92-2002 limited operaions),US(Last attack)]\nA simple economic surround will easily do what you a military attack probably cant.\nAlso I think if I had a nuke I wouldn't put it in a place that missles can hit it. there are cool mobile rocket launcher and Iran have many.

Unlike other nuclear powers, Iran said they intend to use the bomb.\n\nThey want to release their 12th Iman from the well in the worst way.

He is the president of Iran, and I fear that only he knows what he is looking for.  It seems he wants Iran to have nuclear weapons.

It's a good thing if we can monitor and help proliferate thier nuclear activities so they remain for energy only, not weapons.  Aiding Iran in this way could lead to future partnerships between our nations, and it sends a positive message to other countries about our ability to act diplomatically.\n\nIt's an important move symbolically, for our national security, and possibly a good business move.

There concerns is generated by the threat that the President of Iran has lodge at Israel that it should be wiped off the face of the map.  Why would anyone say this if they want the neighbors to feel comfortable in their goal to have nuclear energy?

it is a very important question and it return to future .we know  that in future all types of energy as oil will finish and nuclear energy will instead to other energy .and some country that are holder of this type of energy doesn't like other country can produce nuclear energy and will be dependent to them  .

Iran is an evil theocracy. The iranian government is attempting to make nukes to use on the United States.

Iran should be able to have nuclear energy. If the US is giving it to others then it should go both ways. There should be no room for hypocrisy.

Iran has oil.  Oil can be used to produce electricity.  Iran claims that they only want nuclear power for electricity.  It doesn't add up.\n\nNorth Korea has no oil and wants nuclear power for electricity.  It is a more realistic claim on its need.

Iran has announced that they are going to open an oil market that opperates on the Euro.  That's bad for America because the US dollar is currently the primary currency for international oil trade.  So the United States has announced that Iran plans to have nuclear weapons.  How convenient.\n\ntaz: That's exactly what the US government wants you to think.  It's called propaganda.  Keep in mind that eveything that government agencies say they say for a reason.  They rarely just tell the straight out truth, and the current administration has a particularly notable history of lying.  You should always think about why they're saying what they're saying.

I have done some extensive study of Iran and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran is a party to the NPT. The enrichment plant that Iran has built in no way violates their resonsibilities as a signer to the NPT. The centrifuges that everyone talks about are normal equipment for anyone who wants to enrich uranium. The same equipment is used to enrich uranium to 5% (for nuclear power) or 95% (for weapons). (The only other way used today is gaseous diffusion.)\n\nIn my opinion, Iran has every right (as granted to them by the NPT) to mine, mill, convert, enrich, burn, and (hopefully) reprocess uranium. Iran's facilities have been inspected repeatedly and absolutely no evidence of a nuclear weapins program has ever been found there. \n\nThe United States was the country that gave Iran the technology and supplies (in the 1970s) for a nuclear power capability. I think that Iran should be allowed to continue with their nuclear program. If they do eventually develope nuclear weapons, it will be another sad day. But they will not be the only country with nukes in the middle east. As of now, it is known that Israel, and India have them also.\n\nIran has every right to nuclear power (no matter now much oil they have) and every aspect of its production. We must not deny them this right.
