I'm sure they will keep their word.
I'm incredibly conflicted on this issue. First off, I do believe that ANY nation has the right to meet its energy needs the way they see fit. On the other hand, Iran is clearly one of the greatest threats to world peace and prosperity, and allowing it to openly use technology that can be dangerously weaponized is a threat to everyone.

Personally, I think the solution would be to allow them to build nuclear reactors, but under the condition that, should any of the material be found to be used for other purposes, or should there be ANY attempt to conceal its nuclear program, the plants will be immediately destroyed.
