Iran has promised to discontinue enriching uranium according to officials in the Turkish government. Iran said it would continue talks with major world powers. International leaders are concerned that Iran will enrich uranium to a grade needed for a medical research reactor. There is fear that this is a step toward creating nuclear weapons. Part of the deal involves Iran’s insistence on a fuel swap program which would give Iran the fuel they need for the research reactor. This proposal has been met with skepticism, as Iran has changed its mind numerous times. There is fear that this is another stalling tactic.
It appears to me that Iran continues to be one of the biggest threats to world peace. If they are allowed to develop nuclear weapons they become a major threat to the region and the world. They have proven that they cannot be trusted and have made clear their disdain for most of the civilized world. I think any deals cut with this government should be carefully watched and this country should not be afraid to require sanctions.
