What legal standing does the EU3 and the US have when the Iranians are well within their right to convert uranium for nuclear power generation?

According to the article, they are not in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

I can understand that they may be concerned that they may be producing or converting uranium for nuclear weapons development. I also understand that Israel developed nukes "under the radar"...

I think the real fear is that Iran developing a nuke levels the playing field and puts the breaks on neo-con dreams of Middle East conquest.
