Zarif Speaks to the Students of University of Tehran



Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javid Zarif delivered a speak to the students at the University of Tehran to tell them about the nuclear program that their country is evolving. The nuclear agreement between Iran and six other world powers (US, Russia, France, China, Britain and Germany) understands Iran's right to enrich uranium.  He explained to the students that without the enrichment program, there will be no solution to the nuclear issue.  Again, the article states that Iran seeks no interest in nuclear weapons. They believe that the weapons will be detrimental to their security.  
I found this article to be interesting, given that we are all college students.  For the foreign minister to come give a speech to the student population of University of Tehran is compelling.  Although as a student in the US, hearing about another country wanting to create this huge nuclear program is questionable.  I think it would be very interesting to hear what the students of Iran's opinions are on this matter.

  1. I too would be interested in what more people my age in Iran thought about the recent nuclear deal and the Iranian nuclear program in general. I'd like to imagine that many students would be against the buildup of nuclear weapons. I believe that it's up to educated young people to pressure for concessions from their governments on both sides of the issue, in Iran, Israel, the United States, and the world in general.
