Overview
Since the dropping of two nuclear weapons on Japan, and the subsequent Soviet push to develop nuclear weapon, the countries who have nuclear capabilities has been one of the foremost concerns of the international community. So when Iran started enriching uranium, the international community got a little bit worried. When Iran refused to cooperate with the IAEA – they got a little bit angry. However, three UN sanctions later, little has changed with the IAEA condemning the lack of Iranian cooperation on March 27th of this year. Since a country (Iran) that has promised to destroy another that already has nuclear weapons (Israel) may or may not be developing nuclear weapon is kind of a big deal. Oh, and because confirmation of such a nuclear program could justify Israeli/US attacks on Iran, let’s take a look at what is going on and what that means for the world.
