Answer:
Why did Iran’s leaders decide to develop nuclear weapons?
1) Iran wants to defend against external threats it earnestly fears.
2) Nuclear enrichment has symbolic importance for Iran.
3) The nuclear program has become a big issue in Iranian domestic politics.
4) Iran sees itself as in a struggle for influence in the region — a nuke would help a lot.
5) Iran does not want a bomb to launch an offensive strike against another country.
The nuclear program of Iran is an ongoing scientific effort by Iran to research nuclear technology that can be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran has several research sites, two uranium mines, a research reactor, and uranium processing facilities that include three known uranium enrichment plants.
According to U.S. intelligence assessments, Tehran has the capacity to produce nuclear weapons at some point, but has halted its nuclear weapons program and has not mastered all of the necessary technologies for building such weapons.
The Iran nuclear deal framework was a preliminary framework agreement reached in 2015 between the Islamic Republic of Iran and a group of world powers: the P5+1 (the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China—plus Germany) and the European.
Currently, Iran has a uranium stockpile to create 8 to ten nuclear bombs. But thanks to this nuclear deal, Iran must reduce its stockpile of uranium by 98%, and will keep its level of uranium enrichment at 3.67% — significantly below the enrichment level needed to create a bomb.
