Iran

[EasternVol]

You think Iran's leaders are worried about getting bombed if they launched a nuke at Isreal?

They aren't Russia or China they don't care.

I think they'd care very much.

 

[EasternVol]

You can't be that nieve?

Every American that was killed or taken hostage in Isreal on October 7th was a result of Iran. Three American soldiers killed in Iraq around a year ago was a result of Iran. Every American military & civilian ship attacked by the Houthis is a result of Iran.

Sticking to your previous assertion, when has Iran threatened to destroy the US?
And no I'm not snow, or snowy, or snowblind.

 

[EasternVol]

Normal chants of “death to America” and “down with America”. A country with nukes those intentions are very capable.
But back to the question. What would you do?
It’s easy to sit back a criticize. What say you?

Ok, so they didn't really say they'd destroy us. Got it.
I'd continue the discussions, include the Europeans and IAEA and get a deal where inspectors get full access and Iran doesn't get to make nukes. Basically the deal we had before that Trump stupidly scrapped.

Ehh, that's a reach

My mistake. I thought we were wearing our tinfoil PJs.

There you go thinking again. Doesn't work that well for you.

No, I'm not admitting any such thing. Neither you nor I know exactly why they're at 60%. If they're above the reactor enrichment threshold but well below weapons grade they could have been trying to show they could get to weapons grade and use that to leverage concessions from the parties mentioned above. Or they could have intended to eventually become the second nuclear power in the Middle East.
Back to Tulsi. If we have evidence that they're trying to make a bomb, why would she say we don't? It's not like Trump's going to cover for them.

You’re intentionally playing a game of semantics again. “Bomb” vs “enriched uranium” are different standards.

Even in your response above you’re still admitting the obvious here “they could be trying to show they could get to weapons grade”. Agreed! They’ve shown it. So now, they’re being stopped.

You ever shoot a machine gun on peyote?

A) Does Israel have access to/ability to deliver thermobaric munitions?

B) Would there be a reasonable application of said munitions if one could be delivered to the entrance of the remaining underground sites?

 

[CobbVol]

We know they don't want any competition in the region. Their own nuclear arsenal should be sufficient to dissuade any eventual Iranian nuclear attack on them, if Iran were to ever get the capability to produce such weapons.

On a white board, that statement probably sounds pretty good.

Israel will catch and release her twice in a week

unless, as a scientist, she can help them enrich uranium

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Damnit they killed Billybob Thornton!!

There goes "Landman".

"Iranman"

Can't say I've ever had the opportunity.

The denial is heavy with you. So the same deal they didn’t follow originally? Got it. More meetings that lead to nothing and Iran gets more pure uranium until it’s too late

You're trying to muddle the issue, which is why they're at 60%. It could be to get a better deal from their negotiations , which seems more likely since they're aware of the scrutiny they're under. Or they could have been trying to pull a fast one somehow and build a bomb. I don't know how they would have thought that would succeed.
So going back to the question, why would Tulsi have said there's no evidence Iran's trying to build a bomb if they were?

They've already got that one well covered.

There's no denial. Trust conditionally and verify. If verification measures show deception, cease the trust and take appropriate measures.

Which part.....peyote or machine gun?

Just to add to your post without any knowledge, but I've been giving this some thought since the heat turned up a few days ago. Those underground facilities have to be really deep and do we or Israel have the weapons to actually destroy all the equipment in the Underground facilities? Our biggest bunker buster I believe is 200ft depth. I guess if you hit the hole over and over you would finally get to it. Destroying the entrance will accomplish nothing.

 

[hog88]

The two combined although I've never done peyote period.
