Title
Iran’s Nuclear Program
Summary
Concerns continue to increase as more evidence of Iran’s nuclear program is brought to light. The major fear is that there is a distinct military purpose to the program. The United States and its allies attempt to negotiate with Iran to determine whether or not their intentions are peaceful ones. Diplomacy could no longer be an option if those opposed to the program continue to disagree about the actual authorization of the program.
Analysis
Iran acquiring such weapons could be truly devastating. While they claim the program is of peaceful intentions, if the weapons were to somehow be obtained by someone else the result could be a tragedy. Negotiations ought to continue to reassure the safety of others. Iran could unintentionally cause themselves harm if other countries feel threatened by these nuclear weapons.
