Recent History
Despite promising an administration of ‘peace and moderation’, Iran has continued its nuclear programme. The president caused controversy early into his presidency over his comments that Israel should be ‘wiped off the map’ and that the Holocaust was a ‘myth’.
US president George W Bush declared Iran part of the ‘axis of evil’ in 2002. Washington has accused Tehran of attempting to develop nuclear weapons and to sabotage US efforts in Iraq. Iran is building its first atomic power station with Russian help but it maintains that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful.
