The USA reality is not that. It is:

We don't want Islamic Jihad armed with nuclear bombs.
Iran doesn't need nuclear power since they are loaded with hydrocarbons.
India needs nuclear power since they don't have hydrocarbons and shipping them via a pipeline is expensive and they've already got nuclear bombs so more reactors don't matter there.
Iran can produce methanol and other stuff from their hydrocarbons and the USA, China and others can buy those things.
Iran can use the income from sales of methanol for fuel cells to buy millions of CDMA/OFDM cyberphones from QUALCOMM and licensees. QUALCOMM can pay big taxes to the USA.

That's much better than Iran's idea:

Let's get nukes to blow up Jews and conduct Islamic Jihad against apostates and infidels.
Let's get money from China and India by selling hydrocarbons.
