         Iran nuclear negotiators had arrived on Friday April 13th and started discussing nuclear plans with its Chinese and Russian counterparts before the meeting on Saturday.  Saeed Jalili, Iran’s top negotiator was at the meeting on Saturday and claimed that he wants to bring “ new initiatives” to the talk with other delegates from the five members of the United Nations Security Council. The United States, France, Russia, China, Britain and Germany have all previously tried to get Iran to “rein” its nuclear program because they suspect that it contains military arms and a possible nuclear weapon. Iran responded by tell the UN that their program is purely peaceful. With constant Iran’s requests from European Nations and the United States to cancel its nuclear program, Iran has been under a lot of pressure. Iran tried to negotiate a deal where they would make a 20% reduction in the amount of uranium it enriches, but it was quite unclear on Frieda if they were still willing to do that. The reason analysts are so wary of Iran’s nuclear program, and uranium enrichments is because it is enough to take more steps “toward being able to create a nuclear weapon” (CNN wire staff).

In conclusion, the UN council is very concerned with Iran’s use of uranium and potential nuclear bomb creation. Iran has tried to negotiate the amount of uranium they use, but it could still be enough to create a nuclear bomb. Like other countries Iran has the right to enrich uranium for commercial and research reactors but it is also known that the facilities they use for research can also be used to enrich uranium for a bomb.

         I think that Iran’s enrichment of uranium is being used for bombs, because they are being too secretive about what they use the uranium for. When IAEA inspectors traveled to Iran, they were denied access to a military base that could be used to detonate a nuclear bomb. The fact that they aren’t sharing specific information about what they are doing in their “programs” makes everything seem suspicious.
