Nuclear Talks Start Between Iran and 6 Nations

This article explains the latest development in nuclear peace talks between Iran and 6 other nations like the US, Great Britain, China, Russia, France and Germany. The pressure on the other countries to indulge Iran in peace talks, arose after Iran claimed to have used domestically mined uranium ore to make the material needed for uranium enrichment. Iran’s successful processing of uranium ore from a domestically mined source suggested the Iranians had found a way to bypass United Nations sanctions that ban them from importing raw uranium. It also reflected Iran’s intention to show that it remains unfazed in its pursuit of nuclear capabilities, despite significant setbacks.

I can understand the US and other nations apprehension at a nation as openly antagonistic as Iran has been in the past owning nuclear weapons. But do they not have a right to since all these 6 nations own nuclear weapons of their own or have a nuclear power plant? Even is they didn't what to use it for energy purposes if they were just manufacturing and not trading I see no justification for even UN sanctions.

Such talks proved highly unsuccessful in North Korea, and may prove equally inept here. We should first stop quite literally threatening Iran, restrain Israel to some extent, and perhaps they will have less incentive to pursue the bomb.

Nuclear peace talks in Iran have not been very successful recently. They should have the right to own uranium to power the nuclear plants. They are most likely intending to use it in the wrong way though. The six other nations are just taking precautions to make sure there is nothing irrational done nuclear bombs.
