Iran seeking Nuclear Power...

Of course Iran is seeking Nuclear Power, they know from watching the rest of the world that nuclear power if far more efficient, clean and sustainable than petroleum power is.

Think about this...a petroleum exporting company wants to pursue nuclear power for their own internal power generation needs.  They have all the power generation capability they could possibly want for centuries to come (if they didn't export it all to us), at a very low cost to them, but they would rather use nuclear power. 

The conclusion is obvious, nuclear power is so cheap and efficient, that even countries with gazoodles of oil recognize that it is far more profitable to sell the junk to us, and use the money to not only fund a more sustainable energy solution, but also fund a whole array of military capabilities ranging from automated missile systems all the way down to grass-roots guerrilla warfare training camps (i.e. terrorists).

It isn't our fault that the only mass producible modern export from that entire region is crude oil, that is their problem.  But we can help solve their problem by refusing to buy that one singular export (by pursuing more nuclear power ourselves) and forcing them to wake up, grow up, and get industrialized!
