Why Iran Nuclear Program Scares USA & Israel | Ejaz Haider on NPT, JCPOA & Deterrence

Why is Iran’s nuclear program treated as such a major global threat while Israel’s nuclear capability escapes the same scrutiny? In this episode of Unraveled with Marvi Sarmed, recorded on April 17, Marvi speaks with senior journalist and strategic affairs expert Ejaz Haider about the history, politics, and double standards surrounding Iran’s nuclear program. They discuss the origins of Iran’s nuclear program under the US-backed Atoms for Peace initiative, Iran’s legal position under the NPT, the 2002 Natanz revelations, IAEA concerns, the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal, Trump’s withdrawal, and the wider geopolitical conflict involving Israel, the United States, and the Middle East. Ejaz Haider also explains uranium enrichment in simple terms and explores why Iran sees enrichment as a matter of sovereignty, technology, prestige, and survival. This conversation goes beyond the headlines to ask deeper questions: Why is Iran under such pressure? Why is Israel treated differently? Can military strikes stop nuclear proliferation, or do they make it more likely? And is nuclear deterrence the only real guarantee of security in an unfair world order?
