The views of the United States government and several major European nations are that Iran's primary goal is not nuclear power, but rather [[nuclear weapons]]. The concealment by Iran of many nuclear activities for nearly two decades is in violation of its NPT safeguards obligations, including an enrichment program that would enable them to produce high-enriched uranium for nuclear weapons which is not needed for Iran's current nuclear power program.<ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/hottopics/Iran_Nuclear_Push.shtml Nuclear Iran].
