The immense cost of Iran's nuclear program
"US Vice President JD Vance stated that Washington's core demand is for Tehran to commit 'to not having a nuclear weapon.' He emphasized that if Iran agrees to these terms, the US is 'going to make Iran thrive' and that a deal with the Trump administration would allow Iran to 'prosper and join the world economy.'"
"Iran's nuclear ambitions have been the single largest obstacle to normalized relations with the West for over two decades, contributing to US-Israeli bombing campaigns in recent years."
"Tehran's stated objective is power generation and energy security, not a nuclear weapon. However, available data suggests otherwise, as Iran plans to increase its nuclear electricity generation capacity to 20 gigawatts by 2041."
"Iran holds some of the world's largest natural gas and oil reserves, enabling electricity generation at costs significantly lower than nuclear power, which raises questions about the economic viability of its nuclear program."
The peace talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad failed due to disagreements over Iran's nuclear program. US Vice President JD Vance emphasized that the core demand is for Iran to commit to not developing nuclear weapons. If Iran agrees, the US promises to support its economic growth. Iran's nuclear ambitions have hindered normalized relations with the West for over two decades. Tehran aims to increase its nuclear electricity generation capacity significantly, despite having abundant natural gas and oil reserves that make nuclear power less economically viable.
