The United States denied any support for Iran's nuclear power. The U.S. stopped nuclear transport to Iran through their country and asked other nuclear suppliers to not engage with Iran. This was all done because the U.S. simply did not trust Iran.

1. The American effort to deny Iran nuclear technology, long couched as an effort to stop potential nuclear weapons programs, thus placed illegal restrictions on Iran's technological and scientific development.
2. The Bush Administration and its allies are quietly launching a new international effort aimed at making it more difficult for such countries as Iraq and Iran to buy the high-tech items needed to develop nuclear weapons," which purposefully affected trade in "so-called 'dual-use' goods--items that, while they have other legitimate uses, are also important components for a program to develop nuclear weapons."

There is no evidence that Iran violated their pledge under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The U.S. has asked other nuclear providers to not transfer of nuclear technology or engage in any nuclear co-operation with Iran.

Many asked, "why does Iran need nuclear power?". Iran wants to be able to compete with other countries. They have lots of oil, but are energy poor. Oil is not infinate and they eventually will need a new energy source
Taylor Ober
While Iran has a high supply of oil, they have much less energy in other places. They are "oil rich and energy poor." Iran has to diversify its energy "portfolio" in order to boost their economy any further.

Iran needs to be able to produce and transport their leading resources oil and gas in order to advance.

-Billy Silk
Iran has just as much right to pursue nuclear power as any other nation.
-Taryn

Sean Silk
Americans have been trying to deny Iran of nuclear technology, which placed illegal restrictions on their technological and scientific development. They have been trying this since the 1980s. The Reagan Administration set a ban on nuclear-related trade.
-Caleb Brastine
Iran wants nuclear energy because they do not have enough oil for the demand of the oil.
Iran has changed to using a lot of wind energy.
-Joseph D'Amico
The U.S. has been trying to deny Iran from a nuclear weapons program since the Iran-Iraq war.
Sean Silk
Iranians and their supporters believe that restricting their ability to produce nuclear power is "nuclear apartheid." This means that some countries get an advantage in the scientific field, while Iran cannot.
Carter Little
The Iranians transferred Nuclear Technology without permission from the United States
Nick Papiska
The United States did not give consent to transfer the nuclear technology over to Iran.
