What is Iran’s nuclear Program and What Do The US and Israel Want?

US AND IZAINA Officials Have Held Indirect Talks in Oman’s Capital, Muscat, to Try To Reach New Deal Over Iran’s Controversial Nuclear Program.

Donald Trump Pulled Of The Previous Nuclear Agreement Between Iran and World Powers in 2018, and Reinstated Economic Sanctions, Angering Iran.

The US President has warned of Military Action IF The talks do not succeed.

Iran Says Its Nuclear Program is for Civilian Purposes Only.

It insists it not trying to develop nuclear weapons, but many countries – As the Global Nuclear Watchdog, The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) – Even Convinced.

Suspices About Iran’s Intentions arose When The Country was found to find the Secret Nuclear Facilities in 2002.

This Broke An Agreement Called The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), What Iran And Almost All Other Countries Have Signed.

The NPT Lets Counters USE non-military nuclear technology – Such as a medicine, agriculture and energy – But does not permit the development of nuclear weapons.

Since the US Pulled Of The Existing Nuclear Deal – Known as The Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action OR JCTO – In 2018, Iran has broached Key Commitments, the Decision to Reinstate Sanctions.

It has installed Thousands of Advanced Centers (Purification Machines) to Enrich Uranium, Something Was Banned by The JCPO.

Nuclear Weapons Require Uranium Whicch has been enriched to 90% purity. Under the JCPO, UNLAND ALLOWED TO POSSSS TO 300KG (600lb) of Uranium Enriched to 3.67% – Sufficient for Civilian Nuclear Power and Research Purposes But Nuclear Bombs.

BUT By March 2025, The IAEA Said Iran Had About 275kg of Uranium Which Had Enriched to 60% Purity. That is an enough to theoretically make a half a dozen weapons, Should Iran Further Enrich The Uranium.

US Officials Have Said Thain Though I Iranium That Uranium Into An Enough Weapons-Grade Material One Bomb In A Little A As A Week. Howver, They Have A Said It Would Take Iran A Year to 18 months to Build a nuclear weapon. Some Experts Say A “Crude” Device Could Be Built in Six Months or Less.

The UN, US AND EU Imposed Extensive Economic Sanctions from Iran 2010, Over Suspices That Its Nuclear Program Was Used to Develop A Bomb.

The Sanctions Stopped Iran is Selling Oil on International Markets and Froze $ 100bn (£ 77bn) of the Country’s Foreign Assets. Its Economy Plunged Into Recession and The Value of Its Currency Fell to Record Lows, which in turn caused to inflation to soar.

In 2015, Iran and Six World Powers – The US, China, France, Russia, Germany and The UK – Agreed to the JCPOA negotiations of Years.

As Well As Limiting What Iran was permitted to do with the ITS Nuclear Program, It Allowed to Access All of Iran’s Nuclear Facilities and Suspects Of The Inspections Of Suspections.

In Return, The Powers Agreed to Lift The Sanctions.

The JCPOA was to set to last to 15 years, after which the Restrictions Would Expire.

When Donald Trump In Office in 2018, he removed the US – WHICH HAD Been A Key Pillar Of The Agreement.

Hey Said It Was a “Bad Deal” Because It Was Not Address And Did Not Address Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program, Amongst Other Things. Trump re-imposed US sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure” campaign to compel Iran to negotiate a New and Expanded Agreement.

Trump’s Decision was influenced by America’s Regional Allies Who Wo Are Opposed To Deal, Chiefly Israel.

Israel Claimed That Still Pursuing a Covert Nuclear Program, and Warned That Would Relief Relief to Striefen ITs military activities.

Trump’s Announcement Concerning Talks With Iran Appeared to Take Israel by Surprise. He Had Long Said He Would A “Better” Deal Than The JCPO, Though Up Till Now Iran has rejected the renegotiating the agreement.

Trump has previously warned that IF Iran Did Not Make a New Deal “There Be Bombing”.

His National Security Adviser Mike Waltz has said that the “Full dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program, adding: “That’s enrichment, that is is the programonisation, and that is Its strategic Missile Program.”

Iran Hopes A Deal to Limit, Not Dismitle, Relief of the Nuclear Program in Exchange for Exchange.

“Our intention is to Reach A Fair and Honorable Agreement on Equal Position,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Said.

Although Trump Had There Weould Be “Direct Talks”, Araghchi Said In Oman Were Indirect, With A Brief Conversation Between Him and US Steve Steve Witkoff Taking Place As they Leaving.

Araghchi Said Iran Was Ready To Us With The Us, But That Trump Must First Abore There Can Be CAN BE CAN BE CAN BE NO.

After Trump’s Announcement, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Said the Only Acceptable Deal Would Involve Iran Agreeing to Eliminate ITS Nuclear Program. Heaid That Meant: “We Go In, Blow Up The Facilities, And Dismantle All The Equipment, Under American Supervision and Execution.”

Israel’s Biggest Fear Will Be Accept Accept A Compromise Short Of Iran’s Complete Capitulation What He Could Diplator Win.

Israel, which has not signed the npt, Is Assumed to Nuclear Weapons, Something It Neither Confirms Who Denies. It believes a nuclear-armed Iran, which does not accept israel’s right to exist, Would Pose a substantial Threat.

Both The US and Israel Have The Military Capabilities To Bomb Iran’s Nuclear Infrastructure, But Such An Operation Would Be Complex and Risky, With Uncertain Outcome.

Key Nuclear Sites Are Buried Deep Underground, Meaning Only The Most Powerful Bunker-Busting Bombs Could Possibly Reach Them. While The US Possesses These Bombs, Israel Is Not Known.

Iran Would Almost Certainly Defend Itself, What Could Include Attacking US Assets in The Region, And Firing at Israel at Israel.

For An Operation of This Kind, The US Would Likely Need to Use Its Bases in the Gulf, As Well As Aircraft Carriers.

Buttries Like Qatar, WHICH hosts The Biggest US Airbase, Might Not Agree to Help It Attack Iran, Fearing Retaliation.
