We should remind readers who started Iran's nuclear project?

It was the US. However, back then plan was to point those missiles at the Soviet Union.

Type in to google "who started iran's nuclear program" see what it comes back with?



FYI
The United States initially provided Iran with its first nuclear power capabilities, starting with the "Atoms for Peace" program in 1957 under President Dwight Eisenhower. The US supplied the Tehran Research Reactor in 1967, along with training and fuel, to foster civilian nuclear energy. Later, Western European companies (such as Siemens/Kraftwerk) and Russia provided additional support.

Key details regarding the development of Iran's nuclear program include:

  • Initial Support: The U.S. provided a 5-megawatt research reactor and highly enriched uranium to the Shah's government, which was a close U.S. ally.
  • Expansion:During the 1970s, Iran signed contracts with German company Kraftwerk Union to build nuclear power plants, such as the Bushehr plant
    .
    • Post-Revolution: After the 1979 Revolution, international cooperation was largely suspended, leading Iran to pursue independent development and collaborations with other nations.
    • Russian Involvement: From the 1990s onward, Russia helped complete the Bushehr nuclear power plant and provided technical expertise.

Despite the initial Western support for a civilian program, the U.S. and other nations later sought to limit Iran's nuclear activities due to concerns regarding potential weapons development.




Moroever Iran was always a member state of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since September 16, 1958. Until Trump broke off the agreements in his last term blaming Obama for talking to them. Israel isn't member of the IAEA and no one knows what it has where? Hypocrisy and double standards all the way.
