Iran has the same right to nuclear energy as does Canada - they lack sufficient refineries to keep up with the energy demands of the population, as well as the right to nuclear-medicine. They're a very smart people, if they'd wanted nukes they'd have created them years ago - like Israel (but those are still secret, I think).
