Iran nuclear program development
Overview
Iran’s nuclear program has transitioned from historical scrutiny regarding weapons development to claims of industrial maturity. For years, Western governments and intelligence agencies have questioned the legitimacy of Tehran’s religious fatwa against nuclear weapons, particularly following the discovery of the clandestine Amad Plan. While Iran has historically denied pursuing weapons, seized documents have suggested that decentralized cells may have continued operations after 2003.
More recently, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has asserted that the nation has achieved self-sufficiency in constructing nuclear power plants. Officials state that progress in the fuel cycle, plant construction, and nuclear safety has continued despite political pressures. Iran is also seeking to expand its capabilities through cooperation with Russia on small and modular nuclear reactors, framing its nuclear infrastructure as a vital tool for low-emission electricity production.
