For many Iranians, having nuclear power is a symbol of being a part of the developed world. They see the world preventing them from having nuclear weapons as part of a larger act of Europeans and Americans to prevent Iran from rising to be a first world country. They also consider it to be a question of double standards when Israel, India, and Pakistan are allowed nuclear weapons and nuclear power, but Iran is allowed neither.

Is Iran nuclear dangerous?

it is quite unfair to say that having nuclear weapons with IRAN is dangerous because when pakistan is nuclear armed country and other nations are equipped with this nuclear facility because if IRAN is acquiring nuclear energy for gud purpose, then we shud not stop IRAN from achieving its energy purpose.


Why should Iran always have problems with their nuclear programs?

While Iran has the right to have a program to produce nuclear energy in accordance with IAEA guidelines and oversight. However, Iran has repeatedly prevented IAEA inspectors from visiting sites where nuclear weapons are rumored to be in production. As a result, the United States and most European states are very distrustful that Iran is engaging in a peaceful nuclear energy production program and believe that Iran intends to create nuclear weapons. The Western States also categorically opposes Iran having a nuclear weapon given that Iran has expressed militancy towards and supported/founded militant groups that act throughout the Middle East. If Iran embraces a more moderate regime and makes clear that they are willing to work within IAEA parameters, Iran should not have a problem with its nuclear program.

What is the US position on Iran's nuclear program?

The US has no issue with Iran having a program to produce nuclear energy in accordance with IAEA guidelines and oversight. However, Iran has repeatedly prevented IAEA inspectors from visiting sites where nuclear weapons are rumored to be in production. As a result, the United States is very distrustful that Iran is engaging in a peaceful nuclear energy production program and most European nations share the US's skepticism on the matter. The United States also categorically opposes Iran having a nuclear weapon given that Iran has expressed militancy towards and supported/founded militant groups that act against a number of key US allies in the Middle East, like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States.Since I do not work for the State Department, this is the policy as far as I understand the State Department's articulations on the matter. As a result, take the answer with a grain of salt.

Why does Iran need a nuclear bomb and will it get one?

There are two questions here. Why does Iran need a nuclear bomb? -- Iran does not NEED a nuclear bomb. Iran WANTS a nuclear bomb since having a nuclear weapon would, in Iran's view, lessen the advantage that Israel has over its neighboring Islamic States. It would also be a symbol of Iranian power and a projection of Iranian influence and civilization. When will Iran have a nuclear bomb? -- The timeline for Iran gaining a nuclear weapon is unclear. It is likely that Iran will have sufficient fissile material to make a bomb by late 2015 or early 2016. However, the Israeli Mossad has performed a number of operations aimed at delaying the creation of such a weapon.


Why is Iran having a nuclear bomb NOT an issue that doesnt require direct intervention by UN?

Because Iran has signed the Non-Proliferation-Treaty or NPT.


Why are world leaders afraid of Iran's nuclear program?

Iran's nuclear program is designed to facilitate (if not actually create) nuclear weapons. Additionally, the Iranian government is actively belligerent and continually declares both its enmity towards Israel and willingness to see that country destroyed. That combination makes other countries less interested in having a nuclear Iran.


What are the pros and cons of Iran having nuclear weapons?

I think you mean what are the pros and cons of Iran having nuclear technology. Iranian government claims that they wish to refine uranium in order to further explore the wonder that is nuclear power technology. This would include power plants, and other possible nuclear energy sources.If I am not mistaken, the amount of enrichment need to create weapons grade uranium (needed to make a nuclear war-head) is a much higher level of enrichment than the level required for nuclear power plants.New experiments in energy in any country could lead to breakthroughs in energy technology that could benefit the entire world, however, one must wonder why Iran would be so interested in alternative energy when they as a nation are the third largest holder of Oil in the world.There would be no benefit to America nor its people if Iran obtained nuclear weapons technology at this time. Due to past relationship with Iran (the CIA coup in 1953 & US government support of Saddam Hussein's war against Iran in 1980 to name a few...) the Iranian people have gained a mistrust in American government and relations between the two nations have been tumultuous ever since.I hope this helps you
