Iran May Be Near Uranium Deal

The entire basis of this article is over the use of uranium. Iran is working on a deal where they would send low grade uranium off to a western country in order for high grade uranium to be sent back. Iran proposes that these isotopes that are produced will be used for medical cures. Yet, many other countries speculate that this is just a cover up for a nuclear weapons program. The Swedish Prime Minister commented in saying that " the clock is ticking" for the opposing countries. Either this uranium will be used for medical purposes or it will be the cause of a nuclear war in the future.

Personally, I feel as if this is a cover up. Any person who has watch this situation unfold, it is obvious that Iran is not a particular fan of the USA. Although I do understand it may look like the USA is being a power monger. That is, the USA doesn't want any other country to have that kind of firepower in order to have a secure future. I just don't believe a combative country like Iran is going to use the awesome force of nuclear energy just for health plans.

QOTD- Do you think Iran is going to use uranium for medical purposes, or for firepower? Explain.
