Iran Nuclear Energy Plan
Iran isn’t exactly a ‘friendly’ country for anyone who lives in the USA. So the thought of Iran using Nuclear energy can be frightening. Even though they never claim that they are building nuclear weapons, there has been much suspicion against that claim, however. After many threats and disputes against Iran’s use of nuclear weapons and the enrichment of uranium, the dispute was finally settled. On July 14th, limits were set on the amount of work that the Islamic State could perform on their Nuclear Projects. As an example, they were given a limit to how enriched they could make their Uranium, this of course preventing them from creating anything too pwerful, which if used as a weapon could be devasting for the entire country, and perhaps even worse.
Why did Iran feel the need to create nuclear weapons in the first place? Well, dating all the way back to 1984, Iran was in a war with Iraq, and fearing that the Iraqi leader was developing nuclear weapons, Iran felt the need to also create their own weapons of mass destruction in order to defend themselves in the eventful situation that they were attacked by nuclear weapons. The first Nuclear plant began construction in 1975, but due to a revolution happening at the time in the country, the development was stopped. Then in 1995 Russian and Iran signed a deal to finish building the plant, and until this day it is up and running. But since the first plant, Iran has built, in secrecy, other nuclear plants which have the capabilities to create nuclear weapons. This is a reason why there was much dispute and eventually a restricition on Iran’s Nuclear development. They have lied and hidden important secrets from the world. So no one trusts them anymore.
Iran continued to try and develop nuclear weapons. In 2011, they said they were getting close to a breakthrough in their project, and this only scared people more. Through the next 4 years until July 14th, 2015, Iran encountered numerous hardships and opposition in their development of nuclear weapons. The US congress said that Iran could not be trusted, and many agreed. No deal would have offered Iran the ability to develop nuclear weapons, some supporters even say a war could have broke up if they were allowed to do so.

The blog was very well written to explain key details about Iran and their nuclear energy program as it talks about why they are a threat to begin with and how they are now being essentially supervised.
This is a really good posting and explains a lot about why Iran uses nuclear energy and why it is a threat to the rest of the world.
