European powers reacted skeptically to Iran's offer o send uranium abroad for enrichment. Iran is sending its uranium to foreign countries in Europe and trade it back with enriched uranium. The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the United Nations already envisaged Iran sending low-enriched uranium and receiving high-enriched uranium for research reactor fuel in Tehran. Iran's plan is to lower the tensions between Iran and other countries that deal with nuclear problems. However, this action is earning suspicion, since there were several military movements by Iran in the past 2 months. They want to retain at least 1,200 kilograms (2,650 pounds), which is at least a weapon’s worth. Therefore, Europe, as a whole, is currently skeptical about Iran shipping uranium for enrichment, including countries that allow Iran to have highly enriched uranium.
The significance of this news is that we do not know what they are going to do with that uranium in the future. Iran says they are using the enriched uranium for fuel that will be used in research reactors, but who knows what they are going to do with it? Iran could be testing out new weapons, or bombs that they can use as a threat to the world. Enriched uranium is a critical component for both nuclear power generation and military nuclear weapons. That is what its mostly used for; nuclear energy and weapons. In my opinion, countries should avoid uranium enrichment for Iran because Iran is a dangerous country; no offense. There are proofs; military movement was detected, and most of all, they are obtaining critical component that can be a big threat to the world. I believe there would definitely be a plan behind this action. My opinioin is that the world should stop Iran from obtaining highly enriched uranium, since that substance can be very harmful. I hope Iran's action today does not affect our lives in the future.
