The Plan for Iran

As of now the proposed plan for Iran (let me emphasize proposed) is to convince the nation to abandon it’s nuclear program in exchange for high grade nuclear fuel from France and Russia. Iran has declared over and over that they simply want to build nuclear facilities for the benefits of nuclear fuel, not to build a nuclear arsenal.

Is there any chance that Iran is really only seeking nuclear fuel and does not plan to develop nuclear weapons? In my  mind I can’t reconcile that as even a slight possibility, but perhaps you can make a case for this.

In my mind, Iran would have accepted the rather generous deal from the UN which would give them the desired nuclear fuel without all of the infrastructure costs associated with building nuclear plants. Additionally it would take the nation off of the radar of the UN and the US allowing them some peace to sleep at night. I really do believe that Iran is headed down a dangerous path, if they continue someone will engage them in war.

Tomorrow I plan to outline what I would call a defense for Iran. Basically I will sum up all of the possible reasons why Iran may want a nuclear program.
