Obama reaches out to Russia over nuclear Iran

President Obama finally acted on Iran's new nuclear program. He sent a letter to Russia that he will get rid of all the missile defense system in Europe if Iran drops plans for nuclear weapons. Why did he send this to Russia? He was asking them to help trying to end Iran's nuclear program. He wrote that Russia can have a role in Iran's new nuclear threat and stop the US from establishing a missile base in Poland and a radar facility in Czech Republic. The missile defence system is basically sending out a non-explosive interceptor if a hostile missle detected to elimintae the threat before it gets close to ground. Therfore, President Obama is asking Russia to be a cooperative partner rather than a threat.

Dmitry Medvedev, the President of Russia, said that the letter did not make any reference to a link between Russian assistance to limit Iran's nuclear program and the plans to construct missile defense facillities in Eastern Europe.

However, Iran is denying that it has a nuclear weapons program. Iran's foreign ministry stated that Iran's uranium stockpile is completely baseless. They continued to say that Iran is working towards peace, and that all this talk about them trying to make a bomb is just a propaganda.

I do not think that President Obama should be making hasty conclusions on the unproven fact that Iran is developing a nuclear bomb right now. I think Iran is trying to survive during this economic depression by saving fuel to export, and I applaud this idea because nuclear energy will save tons of natural gas that we can save up for the future. There are UN watchdogs and cameras all over the nuclear facility, and these have shown that there is not a single evidence of bomb-making yet.
