Iran- Hints at Nuclear Program

Iran is reconsidering its uranium enrichment programs in return for fuel from abroad. Unless they are insured a certain amount of fuel from other countries, they plan on continuing with their enrichment program, which is a source of both nuclear fuel and warhead material. Iran chooses to do their own enrichment program for uranium because they don't have trust in any other countries, especially the US. The only way Iran would agree to change their program is if all UN members agreed to give them a constant fuel supply.

In our opinion, Iran is being extremely demanding and unfair. It is unlikely that all 145 countries will agree to their request. Just because they "have trust issues" doesn't mean they deserve special treatment. Their best interest isn't the best interest of the UN as a whole.
