Rezwan’s idea is superb! If the possibility of making a bomb were off the table, why would Iran still want to enrich uranium? It is not well known that that country’s supply of oil, a very poor grade, is in decline, and the means to generate electricity for a fairly large population will need to be developed. Building conventional reactors may seem the best way to fill the need, but the alternative of cheap and safe fusion power may raise a few eyebrows among the leadership in that country. It could certainly solve a number of problems.

Persia, as it is properly called, is a proud nation with a long, rich history and a highly educated population. The fusion alternative could give any proponents the high ground to stand upon. The leaders of that country might relish an opportunity to make such a move.

It must be said that not everyone would welcome a chance to defuse international tensions. Some individuals see gain in conflict and confrontation. They would need to be exposed, outflanked, and nutralized.

This all can be done.
