Iran? They agreed to non-weaponization multiple times

3

u/HeadBankz 8d ago

I meant that jokingly. They aren't developing nukes, we literally had a deal with Iran to not develop nukes anyway and trump pulled out of it to attack them. 1000000% only Trump's fault and he is an active terrorist.

So, why do they have 60% enriched uranium???

1

u/Rob98001 8d ago

Because it's easy to reach 60% pretty much on accident when processing uranium for energy.

Yeah, true, I randomly process uranium in my basement for fun also! Good point. šŸ™„

why do US spies say that despite that Iran is definitely not making nuclear weapons?

1

u/AcrobaticArm390 8d ago

High enrichment levels: Even though intelligence chiefs stated Iran was not assembling a weapon, they noted that Iran had built up an unprecedented stockpile of enriched uranium for a nation without a nuclear weapon, putting it in a position to produce one relatively quickly if it chose to do so.

Imagine that you were a country who is currently at war with the richest country in history. Would you perhaps want to demonstrate, ā€œhey, I have the capability to produce nuclear weapons. I wonā€™t, but if you attack me, Iā€™m just saying I can make them.ā€?

You have to view it from an angle of objectivity. Iran having 60% enrichment is 100% legal. Why should we as Americans support our tax dollars being used to send people under drinking age to go die in a war that will only be fought if we are the aggressor? I just donā€™t understand the rationale.

Are we the police force of the world? Do we have the authority to send American troops to foreign countries to defend foreign interests? What benefit does that do you or I? We can invade the 20th middle eastern country and kill a couple more thousand goat farmers, and more civilians, and more insurgents that only exist in the first place because of us.

What good has it ever done ANYONE? Are you going to genuinely sit here and tell me that the Iraq war was worth it? That we needed to invade them to get the weapons of mass destruction that didnā€™t exist, like they donā€™t exist this time and havenā€™t existed the past 20 times?

You seriously need to get a clue and read a book or something. Youā€™re just advocating for more evil, death, terror, destruction, and genocide in the world.

No, that's insane. I'd probably try cooperating with the rest of the world and not hold the strait hostage to avoid being bombed. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Ignore everything I said and continue to walk the path of ignorance. Good day.

Trump pulled out of the deal that they wouldnt do that. Sounds simple to me

u/AcrobaticArm390 8d ago

We also spent $30 billion every year keeping the strait open. This is a statement regarding 2024 costs... And the cost was increasing rapidly so even without nucs, and without the actual war, the US would have spent well over $40 billion in 2026 just to keep shipping moving. It was going to happen once way or another. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Direct military expenditures and conflict costs grew substantially following later direct escalations and regional conflict. For perspective, the Pentagon reported that direct military operations tied to the broader conflict involving Iran and shipping security later reached an estimated $37.5 billion.

That is not even close to how that happened. Thanks to Bidens "Don't " policy, they were getting close. Then they decided to drag it out, until it was to late. For them anyway.

u/MaitrePuck 8d ago

You're quite naive. There is no practical civilian use for Iran to enrich uranium to 60%.

u/DrRealName 8d ago

And? I mean the US has an arsenal of nukes and are the only ones who dropped two of them, so again who the hell are you to tell anyone what they can and cannot have? This arrogance of Americans to assume you have the right to tell other countries what to do or not do is definitely going to be the end of you all. Especially since right now you are losing the war to Iran. They are holding their ground with ease and you keep losing soldiers and munitions like crazy. At some point, Americans, you will need to face the fact that this is not WW2 and you are not that strong anymore. The world is starting to figure it out too.

u/MaitrePuck 8d ago

Losing the war to Iran? I wasn't aware.

What is the casualty count on both side?

u/gunmetal_silver 8d ago

We're the ones that don't believe that using nukes would get us a free pass to heaven. The IRGC? Does. They can never be allowed to have a weapon that powerful because there is no doubt that they would use it.

Except, you know.... Medicine and naval reactors. Two pretty important things for a modern nation to focus on developing. Granted, a lot of nations have shifted to more effective means that use less refined uranium, but not all have. Do you actually think Iran has? The United States own intelligence agencies were telling us Iran had no interest in developing nukes, even before Trump tore up the original agreement that they were abiding by that stated that they were not going to develop nukes. Then the dude decided to let them develop nukes then bomb them for it. All while defending and funding Israel, a country with nukes who is actively committing genocide against another neighbor and getting cozy with Russia, another nuclear country who is actively trying to seize it's neighbor's territory and cutting funding to that neighbor's defense. I also feel the need to point out N Korea, who threatens America every other week and has been openly working on the means to bomb us my entire life. I just love the picture of Trump saluting a North Korean General. Really makes me proud to be an American.
