Iran is a large nation with over 1,648,195 sq km and over 75 million people. After World War II the Iranian government was largely influenced by the British and American governments, which led to the US led Iranian nuclear program in the 1950s. The participation of the western nations in Iran's nuclear program ended following the fall of the Shah during the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Iran stopped pursuing Nuclear ambitions until 1989,w hen the Iranian nuclear program exploded back into action. Iran has became closer and closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon, and the US has been more and more against it each year. The Iranians claim that their nuclear ambitions are to protect itself from nuclear neighbor Israel, while the US thinks they are planning on attacking Israel with a nuclear bomb, which they believe could be the start of a nuclear war.
The Iranian Nuclear Program is not the first nuclear program to become and issue. Every time a new country gets nuclear ambitions, critics are sure to pop up.When places such as Iran, a place viewed as "hostile" to most of the western world, gets a nuclear program running many powerful critics appear and people are driven to an apocalyptic paranoia. The issue in these unique cases is not should they have a program or not, which would be the debate in any democratic nation.Rather the issue is whether the leaders of the western world should stop this nation from getting nuclear weapons, and if they do, how should they go about doing it? These questions are interconnected, one answer will depend on the other. Some face a dilemma, wanting to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, but they think the only way to do that is war, something they also do not want. Others supporting an end to Iran's nuclear program think the "how" is a lot simpler than that; they think using diplomacy will be an effective way to deal with Iran. More who want to stop Iran say war today is better than war with nukes. Not everyone wants to stop Iran tough, some do not think there is a problem with Iran having a nuclear program, saying they have the same right as Russia, the US, and others to own a nuclear weapon. Personally I think that the Iranian Nuclear program should be stopped at all causes, in fear of an unstable Iran attacking another nation.
Iran, like most Arab nations, are not very friendly with the middle eastern nation of Israel. Iran in fact does not even recognize Israel as a country. Iran's Muslim majority believe Israel is the number one cause of their problems, and wish to "eliminate Israel permanently". Israel is not so nice to Iran either, but they do not want to eliminate Iran, only eliminate the possibility that Iran attacks them. Israel already has a ton of domestic conflicts to deal with regarding dealing with Palestiniens. The last thing that will bring "peace to the middle east" would be nuclear weapons flying over Israel. Iran's dislike of Israel could lead to them using a nuclear bomb against them. Something that should not be risked.
Iran has been the number one state sponsor of terrorism ever since the revolution in 1979. They have done nothing to stop terrorists in their country. Iran often congratulates terrorists on their activities against the western world. Iran in general is not a stable country, the leaders have said they will wipe Israel and the usa off the face of this world. A terror happy and violent state such as Iran should not have the power granted within nuclear weapons.
Iran is not stable and threats innocent lives with nuclear weapons. This is why we should stop the Iranian nuclear program at all causes. It may cost a bit today, but it will make a lot of difference tomorrow.
