Hey all, I just found that the first two paragraphs of section 2.5.2 is a copy/paste of page 171-172 of the book How Iran Plans to Fight America and Dominate the Middle East by Gabriel G. Tabarani. Either that or that author did a copy/paste from this wikipedia page, though I doubt that. See this link for the book from which it was stolen.
I don't edit wikipedia often, so I don't know what the procedures are for reporting this. Hopefully this is okay, what I'm doing. 71.85.213.146 ( talk) 02:46, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
This article should mention Akbar Etemad .
Iran's nuclear program began in 1959 with a small reactor given by the United States to Tehran University as part of the "Atoms for Peace" program announced by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in December 1953. But that only whetted the Iranian monarch's appetite: With his increased oil revenues, and with his new vision of Iran as the hegemonic force in the region, a nuclear program became for Shah Pahlavi the symbol of progress and power. He summoned Akbar Etemad, a trained nuclear physicist, to the royal court in 1973, told him of his desire to launch a nuclear program, and asked Etemad to develop a master plan.
Two weeks later, the shah met with Etemad again. He quickly read the 13-page draft document Etemad had prepared, then turned to the prime minister and ordered him to fund what turned out be one of the most expensive projects undertaken by his regime. There was no prior discussion in the Majlis, where the constitutional power of the purse lay, or in any other governmental body or council. Like every major policy decision in those days, it was a one-man act. Thus was launched Iran's nuclear program.

Why an article is used to prove Iranian role in Argentina bombing in one occasion , but it can not be mentioned for balancing the POW and giving the alternative explanation ? ( my edit is reverted ) -- Alborz Fallah ( talk) 04:35, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on this topic, and wouldn't know where to begin in terms of populating this article with the allegations, but I feel like it should be here as it is relevant to the article and has various reliable sources (ie. BBC News). - ThatJosh ( talk) 18:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
The United Nation watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) made a recent statement on May 1st, 2018. Which might be of interest with the present events. How about adding this draft for the article introduction/lead? With sources.
On May 1st, 2018 the
United Nation's nuclear watchdog
IAEA stated that they found no credible evidence of nuclear weapons program in Iran after 2009.

In line with standard IAEA practice, the IAEA evaluates all safeguards-relevant information available to it. However, it is not the practice of the IAEA to publicly discuss issues related to any such information.- basically saying that if they received information, they do not discuss it until they issue a report - so the 1 May stmt actually added very little from their 2015 report other than saying they haven't released a newer report .

This article was mentioned in the press. Normally, that would be a compliment. Unfortunately, this recognition was not for content, but excessive length. At 270,000 characters, the article is not useful to a lay WP reader. To start, the lede is too long to give a compact and cogent overview.
Four hundred twenty-one references demonstrate that a lot of work went into creating this article. It would be a shame to lose it. Therefore chopping out some detail and relegating it to subsidiary articles makes sense. Most of these subsidiary articles already exist. A couple of new ones would cover the U.S. positions 2006- present and Iran positions.
What other ideas? Rhadow ( talk) 15:40, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
