    Iran probably has had the capability to build one for some time, the reason they haven't done it is because is not their policy. And they adhere to international regulation and audits to make sure everything is compliant

    But if their sovereignty keeps being threatened who knows

    April 16, 2021 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-nuclear-unanium-enrichment... "Iran said on Friday that it had begun enriching uranium to the higher level. The country has said it intends to use the 60% enriched product for radio-pharmaceuticals, which can be used to treat diseases including cancer."

    Eerie near-echos of Iraq and the WMDs. Hope it turns out less disastrous this time.

        Tulsi gabbard said that iran is not building a nuke. That includes from all the intelligence cia, nsa, and every other intelligence agency. They were all unanimous.

        Netanyahu has been saying shit for decades.

        Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty so they can enrich uranium.

        Under the jcpoa iran was meeting the limits set by obama. and not enriching over 3%. They just are enriching at such a high point now as a point for negotiations.

            she literally told people they weren't. but they are lying because they need to manufacture consent to bomb iran.

            the same bullshit with iraq and how they wanted nukes and had wmd.

            netanyahu has literally been saying for 30+ years that iran was weeks away from having nukes.

            i need to find something about that report. the video has the ieae head saying they did not have any proof of a systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon.

            the ieae has been for some bullshit political timing . they made another good point that the us left the nuclear deal causing them to defensively spiral.

            https://youtu.be/k7zJ2kWsPGM?t=1895 (its queued for the part where he talks about this is bullshit and iran is not making a dash from the bomb) the intelligence still stands.

          Israel has highly enriched uranium. Should the US Army invade them too?

            israel has like up to 400 nukes. its israel with the illegal nukes not iran.

            israel's nukes hasn't inspected and they've signed no treaties.

              Nukes are not "illegal" There is nothing like legality around such things. But if you declare over and over that you want to wipe another nation off the map, then that nation sure would take notice when you work on developing nuclear weapons. It's simple really
              • tguvot 3 weeks ago
                why they are illegal ? why would anybody be allowed to inspect them ?

                (hint) Israel not signatory on NPT

                  The goal should be no nation, including the US, possessing nuclear weapons, similar to the situation with chemical and biological weapons already. How does Iran acquiring nuclear weapons gets us closer to that goal?
