Israel Demolishes Iran Nuclear Manufacturing Plant

Yeah, that was another stupid idea.

The last thing Iran needs is nuclear energy.

All countries need nuclear energy.
Why do you think Saudi Arabia is building so many?
Do you think they are for weapons?
Weapons requires special breeder reactors, and that is not what has to be built.
 
The 1967 war was a sneak attack that destroyed Egypt's air force, so that Israel could illegally invade the Golan Heights and Jerusalem.
Totally and completely illegal and barbaric.
Even the UN condemned it.
Because 1,000 Egyptian tanks on your border is normal, moron.
 
it maybe because in 1979 Iran was taken over by radical jihidist that made it their stated goal to destroy israel

Wrong.
Iran said that Israel would end up in the dustbin of history, and they NEVER threatened Israel.
Not once.

The US could use more. Iran doesn't need it and can't be trusted with it.
 
I have been made victorious through terror. -Mohammed (Bukhari 4.52.220)


Kill the Mushrigs (pagans) where ever you find them. (Surah 9:5)

Pagans are not Christian or Jews.
They are not montheists, and probably believe in human sacrifice.

The word "terror" is a translation, and likely means they were threatened to surrender or else, and took the offer.
Very common, and not barbaric.

Threatening someone to do something against their will isn’t barbaric? Seriously?
 

Depends on what fuel it is built for, what moderator is used, etc.
For example, a molten salt reactor produces no plutonium that is needed for weapons.

Thorium and uranium reactors use different fission reactions, which means the reactions have different products and properties. Uranium reactors use uranium-235 as their fissile fuel, as well as the plutonium-239 that is produced from the uranium-238 that is also present in the fuel, and this reaction produces enough neutrons to perpetuate the reaction until the fuel is used up or the control rods are used to absorb the neutrons and slow the reaction. [1-3] Not all the plutonium produced by this reaction is broken down, and significant quantities of it remain in the waste. [2,3] In thorium reactors, thorium-232 (the most common isotope naturally found) becomes thorium-233 when it absorbs a neutron, and this unstable isotope decays into protactinium-233 and then quickly into uranium-233, which is the fissile fuel. [2,4] This production of fissile fuel from non-fissile but fertile fuel is called breeding, so the thorium reactor is a type of breeder reactor, with the same risks of instability that are found in uranium-based breeder reactors. [2] However, the fission of uranium-233 doesn't release enough neutrons to perpetuate the reaction, so more neutrons must be pumped into the reactor to keep it going. [2,4,5] Also unlike the uranium reactor, no plutonium is produced in the thorium reactor, and if plutonium is added to the reaction, it is broken down, becoming a neutron source for the reaction, and does not remain in the waste in significant quantities.

If Iran did not need nuclear energy, then why were we helping them go nuclear as far back as the 50s?
How could anyone not need nuclear energy, since that is about all there really is?

You think Iran is working on a thorium reactor program?
Why do they need to enrich uranium?
