Title: Iran non-compliance with U.N. nuclear guidelines
Summary: For many years Iran has been a country on watch for their pursuing interest in nuclear weapons and their open hostility toward various other countries. Iran's nuclear interest started in the fifties and it even had the support of America and many European countries. When Iran broke the NPT (non proliferation treaty), which is essentially the rule book for nuclear weapon development. That is when other countries began to worry about what Iran was doing with their technology. Lately most other countries have been taking a negative and worried approach to Iran’s policies.
Reflection: When reading about Iran and their current nuclear position I wasn’t surprised at first. But when I started doing some digging I saw some pretty interesting stuff. First is the fact that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the fact that there was ever a holocaust. He says that it never happened. He also has, many times, said that he wanted to exterminate the Jewish race and take back Israel for his country. When someone like this is in control of one of the most politically unstable countries and then says that he wants to make nukes, people tend to get worried.
Evidence: Mahmoud Ahmadinijad was declared the winner of Iran's presidential election only four hours after forty million (40,000,000) PAPER ballots were cast. Mahmoud says Israel is to be “wiped off the map”. One of Iran’s major nuclear production facilities was constructed inside of a mountain which makes military efforts against it almost impossible. It also obscures the true expanse and complexity of the base. Over and over Iran says that its nuclear research is for peaceful purposes and that they merely want the energy that comes from the technology.
Questions: If Iran is in no way trying to make weapons then why are they burying their facilities in mountains? Why are they denying inspectors access to their plants?
