What was the major factor in spurring on Iran's development of nuclear weapons in the 1980s?

History

Answer:

The main factor behind Iran's nuclear plan in the 1980s was the triumph of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. In this historical process, through which revolutionary forces of Islamic and socialist ideology overthrew Sha Rehza Pahlevi, the triumph of the Revolution commanded by Ayatollah Khomeini imposed the establishment of an authoritarian Islamic republic, against the previous existence of a westernized monarchy. Seeing the United States and western countries as its main enemies, the new Islamic Republic of Iran began to carry out a series of actions aimed at directly confronting these countries. Thus, it carried out the taking of American hostages that led to the famous Iranian Hostage Crisis, as well as a never-before-seen militarization of the nation, with the aim of "protecting Iran from the Western threat". In this context, faced with the nuclear threat posed by the United States and to a lesser extent France and Great Britain, Iran began its nuclear weapons development plan in the 1980s.

What is a limitation of any map?
hram777 [196]
<span>The answer is B. There is always some distortion.
We know that a map is only a drawing. That means a map cannot create a 3D images of mountains and other landscape. That’s the reason why map is never perfect. A map can only show or represent an image of the globe but not the exact physical appearance of each landscape that can be found in earth. Distortion means there’s a change or a twist in a certain thing. May it be small or big, it doesn’t matter. It is still considered as distortion.</span>

Why does ben franklin believe that the delegates should approve of the constitution?
Triss [41]
<span>He felt that any type of government, even one with faults, was preferable to one without a Constitution. He felt that, over time, the document would become better and more refined. As he was a part of the committee who drew up the Declaration of Independence, he wanted the new nation to have a government based on the freedoms that had just been secured by breaking from Britain.</span>

What kind of imagery did Jonathan Edwards use in his sermons and to what effect?
lana66690 [7]
A fire and brimstone preacher, Jonathan Edwards was a stalwart Puritan and much of his Calvinist background is apparent in the frightening imagery of his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." In fact, the image of the bottomless pit of hell whose fiery floods wax high enough to burn the gossamer thread that holds the unworthy souls over it evoked so much terror in the congregation of Edwards that women fainted and men became terrorized and trembled.
This sermon of Edwards is constructed around a passage from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible: "Their foot shall slide in due time." Using the metaphor of a slippery slide, Edwards, at a revival where his famous sermon was given, points to the dangers of spiritual sliding. The yawning abyss waits for the sinners, whose wickedness makes them "heavy as lead," and only the "mere pleasure" of God keeps them from burning in the images of "fiery floods" and "fire of wrath." The image of a "bow" for God's wrath that can easily bend and send forth its arrow is an unnerving one, indeed, as the "slender thread" dangling near the "flames of divine wrath" which can singe it at any moment.
