they need it indeed. Currently they use so much of their oil themselves for keeping up traffic and economy needs, that they do not sell enough of the oil they produce to make the needed income to keep their economy running. This disbalance between the oil they produce and the oil they sell (and the generated income) is a long-known issue wih Iran, and it is a real problem. So: yes, they do need alternative energy like nuclear energy indeed. I know it sounds absurd for an oil-producing country, but it is true.
