They don't have the military capability to really do all that much about it.

Yeah, if Yemen was any indication. All that money…and a third rate military. Seems like there would at least be a coalition of ME states weighing in, being their backyard and all. Par for the course I guess. Well, let’s get ready to nation build…again.

The Arab world has done for a long time what NATO has done for a long time...just let the United States handle everything militarily. Why direct huge portions of your limited budget into your military when the world's sole hegemon is present in the region and will defend your interests?

No I did, and my question remains the same. If uranium levels are the reason for this why pull out of a deal when they got rid of 90% of their uranium and had a threshold under 5%. Their most important sites that Israel can’t seem to destroy without the US’ help are the ones that were monitored 24/7

With several decades of work and repeated bombings and nothing to really show for it that's dangerous as far as we know. Again, policed.

Sure, countries can TRY to develop nukes and terrorists can TRY to buy one but it's a very rare occurrence despite documentation on the technical aspects being available to scientists.

North Korea was the last one in 2005 or so and that should've been China's and/or Russia's to stop but they dropped the ball.

Since the Pakis leveled up with India in the late 90s, it's not like the world has seen a lot of countries pulling it off. Do you think more haven't WANTED to get a nuclear device?

God knows Nigeria has wealth similar to Pakistan and could be the undisputed big dog in Africa with a nuke..... but no.

Can the world STOP a nation from starting a nuclear enrichment, nuclear weapons program? Not exactly. Will they allow it to flourish? Ask Iran.

Whether you want countries to develop nuclear weapons or not, is irrelevant.

If they have the will and the monetary resources to pursue it, short of bombing or invading, there's no stopping a country from doing so.

We never new what was going on at the suspected sites.

I think the safe conclusion here is that one sell-out liar yells at another sell-out liar, and nothing was accomplished… just the way they like it.

I know this'll bring some hostile opinions, but I think it shows growth. I encourage someone changing their opinion when presented with more knowledge on the subject.

Tuckers acting like a real journalist which is practically non-existent now. You see media always toe the line of whichever party feeds them. Tuckers pushing against his alleged base. I respect it.

Also you never see liberals push back on big Democrats. I quite enjoy seeing conservatives (everyday and media) push back against Trump on this. Diversity of opinion > diversity of melanin.

No they were not. It took a month or more to gain access when access was granted.

I think you need to re-read your article. Those were sights completely unrelated to their nuclear program. If the IAEA noticed weird activity there they would try to get access. Which happened with 3 sights but all were after trump withdrew from the deal

And the 3 sights they said had traces of uranium but they were the sights that was used before 2003 and the IC had said they stopped being used

I mean, you can go do your own research. The stuxnet virus significantly damaged centrifuges. They’ve assassinated multiple top scientists over the years. That makes a difference. It’s not magic

Stuxnet was brilliant. And no one knows how many of such/similar operations have gone on.

Trump Rushed to Situation Room as Iran regime is Plunged into Darkness after Government jet Fled to Oman: Live updates​


President Donald Trump is heading to the Situation Room to meet with his top generals amid the Iran nuclear crisis.

It came as at least three Iranian planes landed on Wednesday in the capital of Oman - the previous site of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks.

Al Jazeera verified flight data that showed two Iranian government planes and one from Iran's privately-owned Meraj Airlines landing in Muscat.

The Iranian government has not released details on an official trip to Oman.

It was unclear if the movements signify a diplomatic outcome could still come out of the current crisis.

Trump rushed to Situation Room as Iran regime is plunged into darkness

Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened an attack on U.S. naval ships and troops if Donald Trump authorizes strikes on its nuclear bunkers as Israel is hit with a sixth day of bombing.

You’ve brought up the uranium levels as the reason for this war multiple times. Under the deal they got rid of 90% of their uranium and was not allowed to reach even 5%. If this is all just about uranium levels why pull out in the first place

Sure. It was a terrible deal for numerous reasons. One of the major ones being that many of the restrictions were set to end this year.

We shouldn’t be paying countries to not make nuclear weapons. Nor should we be opening up economic ties with Iran and enriching their regime.

I see these as separate issues. With or without the agreement in place, Iran enriching uranium to this degree is a valid reason to remove their capacity to do so.

If Iran was desperate would a dirty bomb be a possible okay. I know they've made some pretty bold threats. Just winding if this could be something they had up their sleeve.

Not only is it possible, it seems like the only lever they can pull. If they are planning to do something it seems like the obvious choice. So here’s hoping for a miserable failure.

Tucker is a morally-flexible shock jock, no matter who his target of the week is. Tucker has made it clear over the years that he is in it for Tucker, not journalism.

The restrictions ending this year would make no sense to withdraw from the deal 7 years ago. We didn’t pay them to not make nuclear weapons

The deal did remove their capacity to have uranium to that level that’s the whole point. IMG_0287.jpeg
