Iran cannot get nuclear weapons. It is very simple. We will not let this happen.
What is the nuclear dispute between Iran, America and Israel?
America and Israel have been constantly taking a tough stand on Iran’s nuclear program. Actually Iran has been working on nuclear technology for many years.
It claims that it is using this technology only to generate electricity and in medical science. However, America and Israel suspect that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons secretly.
America fears that if Iran gets a nuclear bomb, it will become a big threat to the Gulf countries, Israel and American bases. Therefore, America does not want Iran to move forward in this direction.
In 2015, America along with Iran and some other countries made a nuclear deal called JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action). Under this, Iran had to stop its nuclear program and in return the economic sanctions imposed on it were lifted.
Trump broke the nuclear deal in his first term
In 2018, Donald Trump pulled the US out of the JCPOA deal. Trump said that this deal gives Iran relief from sanctions, but cannot stop its intention to make nuclear weapons. After this, the US again imposed strict sanctions on Iran.
Iran also started violating the rules of the deal in retaliation. It broke the limit of uranium enrichment.
