Iran Isn't Building a Civilian Nuclear Program
(Gatestone Institute) Daniel Greenfield - The average cost of electricity in the U.S. per kilowatt-hour is $0.181. In Iran it's $0.004/kWh. A country where electricity is vastly cheaper than America doesn't need nuclear energy. With 1,183 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, one of the biggest in the world, Iran has all the energy it needs under its feet. The numbers for using nuclear power plants to generate electricity make no economic sense. Iran is not building its deep underground Natanz uranium enrichment complex so far in the earth that it's supposed to be unreachable by U.S. strikes because it wants a civilian nuclear program. That much is obvious to everyone. Iran isn't looking to trade a nuclear weapons program for a civilian program. It's disguising its military program as a civilian program. Some figures in the current U.S. administration insist on pretending that a deal can be made to keep Iran's nuclear program peaceful. The Trump administration should be clear-eyed about what Iran's nuclear program is and what it's for. Deals with terrorists and terror states are worthless. Any agreement with Iran can only end one way, with a terror state whose motto is "Death to America" gaining the ability to carry out that threat against us.
