Iran has been operating a nuclear program for years and announced opening a new uranium facility on Tuesday. Its claims over nuclear enrichment are for a nuclear power program, although this requires 5% enrichment as opposed to the 20% enrichment level they claim the right to pursue which is more commonly used in nuclear bombs.
Wikinews interviewed Amir Abbas Fakhravar, the President of the Iranian Freedom Institute which is based in Washington DC, United States, also a research fellow at the The Institute of World Politics, about the Iranian nuclear program in light of recent talks with this week with the P5+1 group of countries.
((Wikinews))  What is your role at the Iranian Freedom Institute?
((WN))  Iran seems unwilling to give up its nuclear programme, do you think they will eventually given the UN [United Nations] sanctions?
((WN))  Do you feel the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to provoke a response from the Western nations (USA, UK, France, Germany)?
((WN))  What is the need for Iran to have a nuclear programme, are they doing it for energy or for weapons?
((WN))  If Iran does not listen and change course with regards to its nuclear program, do you think that the United Nations will apply more sanctions?
((WN))  Do you think that the United States is particularly unhappy and international relations are poor considering that Iran recently captured a drone and refused to return it?
