#1 if they stopped the uranian enrichment program or only enriched to the 7% or so needed for the reactor, they would save millions of KWh which would then be available for the domestic economy

but we'll see what the boss mullah has to say about that

#2 Just as importantly, they'd be within international law and the IAEA convention, which they signed as a non-nuclear power. That convention gives them the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

The Mad Mullahs, bless them (PTUI) have gone about this all wrong. FIRST you build the reactors, etc etc for 'peaceful' purposes, with IAEA inspection all the way. "Us? Sure! C'mon down! Look around as long as you want!"

Once they've got the reactors and enrichment program to 5% working, THEN they build the clandestine program.

Do as much as you can in the open exactly within the rules, and lull your opponents to sleep.

#3 Steve: they don't have to do that. "We're" willing to let them get the bomb even if they do it the Dumbass Way.
