Iran has reported that it has recieved the final shipment of enriched uranium from a company in Russia that has been supplying its nuclear reactors. A spokesperson from that company confirmed the statement. Now they have all the uranium they need to run a 100,000 megawatt reactor. The U.S. was initially against Russia supplying them with uranium, but they compromised in order to get Russia to go along with the sanctions against Iran. But instead of Iran stopping its research and enriching of uranium, they continue to progress their nuclear program. When asked why, they claimed that it was because they want to build another 20,000 megawatt reactor. They claim it is strictly for energy puroposes, not nuclear weapons.
PERSONAL OPINION
This is absolute bull crap. Iran should not be aloud to have nuclear power. It is different from other countries who aren't a threat to the rest of the world. If Iran develops nuclear weapons, only bad can come from it. They are obviously a hostile nation. They have openly anti-western policies. And its not that they just dont agree with our policies (which would be fine), but they openly suggest violence to solve these disagreements. Their president even said that he "Would like nothing more than to blow Israel off the face of the earth". How can we sit back and allow such a violent and hostile nation that will help destroy the world develop the weapons of which to do it with. And it is obvious that weapons is what they are aiming for. They constantly said that all they wanted was nuclear powerplants to power their country. Well now they have that power plant and what do you know, they have yet another excuse as to why they should not stop. They will always want more. Have we learned nothing from the lessons of Hitler, appeasment is not an acceptable policy. They will keep taking more and more until it is to late to stop them without a long and horrific war, except this one will involve nuclear weapons. Russia shouldn't have given them the uranium in the first place. Iran says it will return the depleted plutonium back to Russia. But after a while I have a feeling that will stop. And the UN takes so long to decide on anything, even if they do decide to get some backbone and do something, it will be to late. Something needs to be done.
