What to know about Iran’s nuclear program
Sanctions against Iran were reorganized through the United Nations Nuclear Program.
Iran’s nuclear places, “Snapback” sanctions and other issues that increase tensions between Iran and the West:
What is ‘Snapback’ and how does it work?
As it was called by the diplomats that negotiate with the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran’s world forces, the “Snapback” process was designed to be veto-perfect in the UN Security Council and entered into force 30 days after saying that the agreement’s parties did not comply with the Security Council.
The UN freezed Iranian assets abroad, stopped arms agreements with Tehran and punished any development of Iran’s ballistic missile program as well as other measures
China remained a great buyer of Iranian crude oil, something that could be affected if the “Snapback” took place, Russia relied on Iranian drones in the war in Ukraine
Why is the West worried about Iran’s nuclear program
For decades, Iran has insisted that the nuclear program was peaceful for decades. However, the authorities are increasingly threatening to follow more nuclear weapons.
Iran is now enriching the Uranium, close to weapons, the only country of the world without a nuclear weapon program.
US Intelligence Organizations, Iran has not yet started a weapon program, but “if it chooses to do so, it has undertaken activities that position better to produce a nuclear device”.
During the Israeli War, we hit three major Iranian nuclear regions
Iran’s nuclear facility in Natanz, 220 km southeast of Tehran, was targeted by the country’s main enrichment area and Israeli air strikes when the US attacked in June
According to IAEA, the uranium was enriched up to 60 percent on the site before destroying the above -ground part of the facility – a short step away from the gun class –
Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Fordo, which is 100 km southwest of Tehran, was also under the bombing of the US with Bunker-Busting bombs
USA Isfahan also hit nuclear technology with smaller ammunition
Israel targeted other areas associated with the program, including the Arak heavy water reactor.
Why were the relations between Iran and the United States bad?
Iran was one of the best ally of the United States under the United States, who bought American military weapons and allowed CIA technicians to carry out secret listening tasks following the neighboring Soviet Union.
However, 1979, the Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who created the theocratic government of Iran, led the Islamic Revolution
Later in that year, university students called the US Embassy in Tehran, calling the Shah’s extradition and broke the 444 -day pledge crisis between Iran and the United States.
During the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, US supported Saddam Hussein. During this conflict, the United States launched a daily attack on Iran as a part of the “Tanker War”.
Iran and the United States have been provoked between hostility and diplomacy since then, and relations went to the top with the 2015 nuclear agreement
However, US President Donald Trump revealed tensions in 2018, which continued in the Middle East today in the Middle East, supported by Israel-Hamas War and Israel’s wider strikes in the region.
