Iran's Nuclear Program By: Greg Weckert and Michael Daffe



The President of Iran has showed no signs of stopping the research of nuclear weapons. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stated that he plans to use nuclear fusion for power rather than war, however, Iran has successfully tested ICBMs (Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) large enough to carry a nuclear warhead anywhere in the Middle East. He also holds parades showing off his military strength and draping the words "Wipe Israel off the Map." Even if you ignore all of these facts, by denying the UN entrance to any of his research facilities, there is still plenty of evidence supporting his intentions to use it to make war.



Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stayed in office despite the majority of Iran being against his party. It is largely believed that he has rigged the voting numerous times. Mahmoud has put much of Iran's economy towards the military. This has resulted in much of Iran's citizens living in poverty. He is also suspected of taking a large portion of Iran's income and giving it to himself.

Iran-U.S relations has deteriorated in recent years. The U.S sponsored the sabotage of multiple research facilities. The U.S Israeli alliance has always mad Iran not trusting of the U.S as well. The most recent event that almost led to a war with Iran was when Iran shot down a U.S U.A.V (Unmanned Arial Vehicle) spying on Iran. They even went as far as to have news crews air a video where an Iranian General talked about how the Iran could view this as an act of war. **__ Timeline Of Iran’s Nuclear Program __**
