Nuclear Arms

The government of Iran does not support President Obama's plans for nuclear disarmament. They feel that the U.S. operates under a double standard when it come to their policy on Israel's nuclear weapons and Iran's nuclear program. The Iranians have stated they want to use their nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes such as generating efficient energy to power their country. However countries such as the United States and Israel believe they have the capabilities to make weapons which in turn would would threaten the security of Israel since both states are antagonistic to one another. In addition, the Iranians would like the U.S. to make a more concerted effort to change its foreign policy stance in relation to Iran. It would like the U.S. to unfreeze its assets and lift other economic sanctions that are affecting the country. If the U.S. clears away these obstacles then the Iranian government would be more willing to talk about their nuclear capabilities. For President Obama's plan to work it has to overcome years of tension and conflict in the region. (www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510020,00.html)
