Fact check

Unsaid was that doing so complies fully with Nuclear Non-Proliferation (NPT) provisions. Other countries operating nuclear reactors do it. It's entirely legal.

"Iran claims it only wants access to nuclear technology for electricity and other peaceful purposes. But that excuse is hollow."

Fact check

Hollow? It's true. US intelligence and IAEA say no evidence suggests an Iranian nuclear weapons development program. 

"The major powers have said that power generation would be guaranteed if Iran abandons its weapons ambitions. Instead, Iran is still enriching uranium and mastering other technologies that would allow it to build a nuclear weapon."

Fact check

No evidence whatever corroborates these claims. However, repeating them often enough gets most people to believe them. A recent Pew Research Center poll cited 58% of those surveyed saying America should use military force to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Only 30% want confrontation avoided. 

"According to the latest report from United Nations inspectors, Iran has created computer models of nuclear explosions, conducted experiments on nuclear triggers, and completed advanced research on a warhead that could be delivered by a medium-range missile."
