Iran joins 'countries with nuclear technology'

If you did indeed read the article before making that post then you are an idiot.

What makes you so sure the Iranians have bombs? But yes they could be in the way of constructing one... It would still take them a while though.

The uranium they have is enriched at 3.5 percent. A nuclear weapon requires 90 percent.

It's all in the article.

Me an idiot? Takes one to know one 😉 Iranians are either lying about not having nukes, or lying about using nuclear energy for the benefit of their country in which they will actually make nukes.

Doesn't freaking matter. They shouldn't be dealing with anything Nuclear.

Their also testing new weapons and bragging about it.

They are more of a threat to us than Iraq. I'm willing to bet, that a bunch of Al Qaeda are hiding out there in Iran as well.

3.5 percent is a low number. Which means they probably have more of it somewhere.

Bush isn't the only one who lies you know.

Its bluffing, and it actually looks like they are playing poker.

And they are not testing new weapons nor bragging about it.

Debbiejo> "Peaceful?....Ok, if you call people like this ---> 😠 peaceful."
Just a question: How many countries have Iran invaded lately???

In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons these are: the United States of America, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and the People's Republic of China. Since the formulation of the NPT, two non-signatory states of the NPT have conducted nuclear tests—India and Pakistan. Israel is also strongly suspected to have an arsenal of nuclear weapons though it has never confirmed or denied this, and there have been reports that over 100 nuclear weapons might be in its inventory.
South Africa once possessed nuclear weapons but has since destroyed its arsenal. North Korea has publicly declared itself to possess nuclear weapons though it has not conducted any confirmed tests and its ultimate status is still unknown.

Just a question: Who are WE to say which country can and cannot have nuclear weapons.
Of GWB's axis-of-evil-states - Iraq, Iran, and North Korea - GWB has this far only invaded a country which did not HAVE nukes, and hasn't touched North Korea which may have.
So politically speaking I can understand why Iran might want nuclear weapons of its own.

Look at your yahoo news/google news.

"Iran touts itself as a nuclear power"

Their bragging about it. Their asking for a preemptive strike.

I may be wrong, but isn't there a huge difference between being able to make a nuclear weapon, and being able to make a nuclear weapon which can be delivered via terrorists? Just asking.

Nonetheless, the Equation does still hold: Terrorist State with Bomb Tech + Terrorists in the Field = Inevitable Big Trouble.

Let's hope that what we have (or should have) learned from invading Iraq will be applied to dealing with Iran, whatever route we take.

In the fourties someone from one of Israel's neighbouring state claimed to have a nuclear bomb made by a 'tin smith'. Clearly he had no idea what he was talking about.

Adam Warlock> Who says Iran will use it's nuclear weapons to attack ANYONE?
How many nuclear weapons have been used in war since they were invented??

Mindship> Define "terrorist state", please.

Eis> I agree. The world would probably be a lot safer without nuclear weapons. Why do you think Iran would be more likely to use nuclear weapons than any other state?
If the illegal creation of nuclear weapons should make the world attack a country, why, then, is Israel allowed it's "publicly secret" nukes?

To those of you shouting "let's invade Iran":
- Why not North Korea?
- Would you sign up and go fight in Iran?

I think the US simply won't attack Israel because it's not an Islamic state. I'm not so sure if that's what you were asking.

I can answer mindship's question for you.---> Middle Eastern Nation + NUCLEAR FUKKING WEAPONS= Terrorist state. You really couldn't figure that out on your own?

Yes, I would enlist.

If I have to define what a terrorist state is, I suspect no explanation will satisfy what you're looking for. Iran has stated it's feelings and intentions, and its actions speak louder than words with regard to inspections. While I applaud your attempt to be open-minded and magnanimous, I say the following with all due respect: he/she who thinks Iran is not a threat is living in a dream world.

The United States and Israel are no angels, but there is a major difference between us and a closed, medieval mindset, wherever it abides. Moral relativism is a fiction and therefore not applicable.

Well said.

They got nukes. Just like North Korea.

Iran: Were just gonna open a uranium mine for enrichment and new energy sources for our country...

Bullshit

They got nukes. They got at least one or two. We should have hit them instead of Iraq.

Great Googly Moogley's!!! Your from Scotland?

yes i'm from Scotland...and no Iran dont have nukes...

what i find really funny is that many of you slam America for attacking Iraq even when there was internationally agreed evidence (That proved to be false) of them having WMD

yet the same people advocate attacking Iran despite the fact that there is no evidence that they have nuclear weapons...

who are the west to deny any other country from trying to adopt nuclear energy sources?...

Because my oldest brother is--he's a fourth generation Marine. The oldest son in my family has traditionally joined the Corps for 4 generations now. However if/when it comes to invading the Iranians--I'll go down to the recruiting office.
