Nuclear program of Iran
The nuclear program of Iran is a current scientific mission by Iran to research nuclear technology that can be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran has many research sites, two uranium mines, a research reactor, and uranium processing factories, such as three uranium enrichment plants.[1]
Iran's nuclear program was created in the 1950s with the help of the United States and in 1970, Iran ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).[2]
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was adopted in 2015 by members of the Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, which focused on Iran's nuclear program.
