[. Nukes can be made with 20%, it's called weapons usable. The weapon will be extremely low yield (think 10's of tons of TNT instead of thousands of tons).

I like how Iran sits on the largest oil deposit in the world and can make power really cheap but wants to make a costly nuke plant...???

The US and other Countries aren't going round blowing themselves up killing people, sponsoring and training terrorists to cause problems in Israel and other areas and aren't defying several sets of UN Sanctions.

Wont happen until the complete conversion of the US combat role in Iraq.
Pupp... er, President Obama has made it clear that he expects the combat role in Iraq to end soon.
So, possibly by the end of August?

Iran is guilty of nothing in this argument, they are searching for medicine and electricity. Why must we punish a country whose only wish is to help their people?
Why do they need Nuclear Power when they have like, a 100 years of oil under their feet?
It would be like me paying for gas to fill up my company car when it's free (or should I say, my company pays).
It doesn't add up!
Why not let UN Inspectors in to check things, why ignore UN Sanctions?
Take a step back, this isn't for peaceful medicine and electric purposes!

I have yet to hear one good reason from any side as to why Iran should not have a nuclear power plant. Really who cares? Why care? They don't have the capabilities to make weapons grade plutonium

Who committed a coup in Iran in the late 70's?
Who funded Iraq & Saddam and armed him in the first place?
Who funded and trained the Bin Laden & the Mujaheddin (Taliban & Al-Quaeda precursors) to fight the Russians? THE US... Specifically THE CIA...
Ayatollah Khomeini. Is this a trick question?

I see you're good at answering questions:
Where exactly was Khomeini before he went to Iran?
Who helped him get his tapes into Iran? Why were there foreign mercenaries dressed up in Iranian police/army uniforms shooting at Iranians? Who benefited from an unstable Iran? Why the need for an unstable Iran?
France
Let's see: who benefits? Islamic fundamentalists and the USSR. Given that Iran at the time was a strong US ally, the most likely external candidate is the USSR. As can be seen by the reaction in the USA at the time, it was definitely a catastrophe for its geopolitical position; something which has continued to this day.
