Current Event One- U.S. to Iran: Prove your nuclear program is peaceful
0 comments Posted by Anne O at 7:20 PMBackground- The Iranian government created a nuclear program (this is illegal), which America has found out about it, and wants to fix the problem.
Summary- The Iranian government denied having an illegal program, but keeping the plant a secret makes the whole thing seem sketchy. Hilary Clinton has asked the Iranian government to prove that what they have built is not illegal and indeed a 'peaceful energy production' which Iran has agreed to.
Analysis- The government will have a long road ahead, trying to figure out how to stop what the Iranians are doing. It will be very important for other countries to participate along with the Americans, for it to be a success.
Commentary- In the article Sen Lindsey Graham said, "If the President of a country denies the Holocaust, you should believe the worst. " I definitely believe that quote. It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds. When whoever does the search in Iran goes, it will be hard, I feel, for them to find everything the Iranians are doing. They have managed to keep it a secret for this long. I do have faith in our government, however, which I feel will do its best.
