A 15 year pause is basically a forever pause. They will never let Iran enrich again. And once the HEU is removed, Iran is no longer a threat for full invasion. Apparently no one here has learned anything from Ukraine, Iraq, and Libya giving up their nuclear programs.
What kind of backwards logic is this?
Iran is in the process of building many civil nuclear power plants, Russia is building 3 more in Iran. The entire world needs power and is moving towards massive power generation. Iran is a power exporter.
Those nuclear power plants need fuel. If iran doesn’t have a large scale enrichment program it will have to rely on US or Russia to supply nuclear fuel — both unreliable countries that have historically blackmailed iran to get concessions.
Now think 25 years ahead, Iran gave up its nuclear enrichment and has 7+ nuclear reactors and suddenly U.S. comes up with new demands for Iran, Iran refuses and U.S. then bans any country from supply nuclear fuel. You know what will happen then? Then Iran will be facing an electrical grid nightmare problem of having to shut down all these nuclear plants because they are running out of fuel. And since it gave up its enrichment program like you advocate, it has no domestic capability to replace that fuel.
So yes there is a point to enrichment outside of nuclear weapons if you are not aligned with the West and a puppet.
Russia and China are not reliable enough to assume 25 years or 50 years later they will not be owned by the Zionists in some fashion or won’t bow to US pressure and comply with sanctions. A lot can change in the world in just 25 years.
