Iran nuclear program

Iran's nuclear program aims to develop nuclear technology, ostensibly for peaceful purposes like energy production. However, concerns arise over its potential to create nuclear weapons. The program began in the 1950s but intensified after 2002 when undisclosed facilities were revealed. International negotiations, particularly involving the U.S. and other world powers, have sought to limit Iran's nuclear activities through agreements like the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Tensions persist due to accusations of non-compliance, regional security dynamics, and Iran's geopolitical ambitions, raising fears about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.
