Various: Several key figures in Iran's nuclear
arms program trained at M.I.T. during the mid-1970s, according

article by Boston Globe reporter Farah Stockman.The
scientists were part of an optimistic American program to
encourage Iran to invest in expensive U.S. nuclear technology
because it would help battle poverty and promote peace. But
when the shah fell in 1979, the exchange program ended, and
some of the students returned to Iran.
