The European Union offered Iran a major incentive this week to halt uranium enrichment. Under the European plan, in exchange for Iran’s commitment to suspend uranium enrichment, the Europeans would share technology for one of the world’s most sophisticated civilian nuclear reactors. It should come as no surprise that Iran rejected the proposal, stating that it had the right to produce nuclear fuel on its own soil.

Iran’s frequent rejections of such generous proposals clearly demonstrates the underhanded intentions of Iran’s nuclear ambitions…Iran, has claimed from the onset that its once secret nuclear program, built far below the ground in a nation with vast reserves of oil and natural gas was for peaceful energy production, yet Iran has consistently rejected proposals that would enhance its ability to develop a cheap and reliable source of energy, in addition to the cheap and reliable source of energy that already lies below the surface.

Iran rejects these offers because its “peaceful” nuclear research program has little if anything to do with peaceful power production and everything to do with nuclear weapons. If the world collectively offered Iran free electrical power along high transmission power lines constructed by the EU, Iran would reject the offer as it would not fulfill its true nuclear ambitions. Iran will accept nothing that inhibits its ability to develop nuclear weapons. The assertion that it is Iran’s intentions to develop nuclear power for any other reason than weaponry is nonsense in the highest sense.
