It now looks as though force might be the eventual outcome of a long-winded worldwide dispute about Uranium Enrichment in Iran. Again, Iran is commenting that they believe that the United States is “illegally” trying to force them to suspend Uranium Enrichment. Iran’s Ambassador of the International Atomic Energy Agency said, “The United States and their allies want to oblige Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment in an illegal manner.” His comments directly correlate with the sentiments of prominent Iranian newspapers lately. The nation as a whole is refusing to submit to US and worldwide orders to suspend enrichment. Furthermore, by doing so they are denying the incentive package offered by the US and Europe. It was a comprehensive package of aid that would benefit Iran tremendously.
Looking at this scene playing out, I have to admit that it seems as though Iran is definitely pursuing nuclear weapons. They would not defy the United States as well as most of Europe in order to pursue nuclear energy as they claim. The benefits simply don’t outweigh the risks. No nation would take on an alliance of the most powerful economic and military nations in order to hope to merit from energy production. Therefore, that leaves the alternative which the President and European powers have come to – that Iran is likely pursuing nuclear weapons.
What do the readers make of this news that Iran is now refusing to agree to the demands of the United States and its European allies?
