( btw the way, I don’t exactly buy the fact that they are seeking a nuclear power capability just for power in and of itself anyway, but the dichotomy here is clear in respect to what you said).
They have been working on nuclear power since the Shah, for this stated reason.
They have 5 kg of HEU in Tehran that was a gift from the USA, it's in the core of a research reactor.

Nuclear power makes so much sense, I hope the congress does something about the antiquated US laws that make nuclear economically unfeasible in the US.
