Israel - Iran's bomb

[Penelope]

Well according to the IAEA they are not.

Well if they did (which I'm quit sure they didn't) would only show their unwillingness to use it. Besides they don't need a nuke, Russia has nukes.

So why are they enriching uranium ore to weapons grade in semi secret underground centrifuges

That's a relief. Iran gets to operate thousands of centrifuges to enrich uranium and audit themselves to see if they comply.
Like the recent missile launch that just violated the agreement - Iran simply says it complied.

They are not auditing themselves, you have learned this from the wrong source. Israel, Russia, US, and Pakistan audit themselves, don't they. How about N. Korea, why not mess with them.

 

[Penelope]

Why would India be involved in any untoward policy to Iran, it is, next to China, its biggest trading partner?

...and when did anybody in this thread mention anything about India?

Do you actually read any of the previous posts?

"WONDERFUL NEWS! Thanks. Like I said, with a nuclear India to the East & a nuclear Israel to the West, Iran is in checkmate with a ruined economy & a youth revolution brewing to rid the country of their leadership Mullah's & Ayatollah's."

Of which Britain and the US allowed to take over in 79. The Shah wanted to nationalize Iranian oil and was NOT going to renew the deal which was up in 79.

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Leftard broken moral compass logic. America and Israel has nukes so why not Iran.

Iran rules out nuclear inspections of military sites

1999: An Israeli military official claims that Iran will have a nuclear weapon within five years.

2001: The Israeli Minister of Defence claims that Iran will be ready to launch a nuclear weapon in less than four years.

2002: The CIA warns that the danger of nuclear weapons from Iran is higher than during the Cold War, because its missile capability has grown more quickly than expected since 2000 – putting it on par with North Korea.

2003: A high-ranking Israeli military officer tells the Knesset that Iran will have the bomb by 2005 — 17 months away.

2006: A State Department official claims that Iran may be capable of building a nuclear weapon in 16 days.

2008: An Israeli general tells the Cabinet that Iran is “half-way” to enriching enough uranium to build a nuclear weapon and will have a working weapon no later than the end of 2010.

2009: Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak estimates that Iran is 6-18 months away from building an operative nuclear weapon.

2010: Israeli decision-makers believe that Iran is at most 1-3 years away from being able to assemble a nuclear weapon.

2011: IAEA report indicates that Iran could build a nuclear weapon within months.

2013: Israeli intelligence officials claim that Iran could have the bomb by 2015 or 2016.

Global nuclear watchdog IAEA ends Iran 'weapons' probe - BBC News

The global nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has ended its 12-year investigation into concerns that Iran might be developing nuclear weapons.

The move is seen as a key step towards lifting UN, EU and US sanctions.

The IAEA concluded that Iran conducted nuclear weapons-related research until 2003 and to a lesser extent until 2009, but found no evidence of this since.

What - Israel and the US lied?

The US has spend billions of Dollars on military forces to encircle Iran, and destroyed Iran's economy with crippling sanctions, all over a threat that wasn't there most of the time, and was wildly overstated the rest of it.

A few questions need to be answered by the Israeli and US governments.

Iran is OPEC and Iran doesn't like the US, so they make stuff up.
Iraq is OPEC and Iraq didn't like the US, so they made stuff up.
Venezuela is OPEC and Venezuela doesn't like the US, so they pretended Venezuela was a dictatorship and sent in their "democracy" guys to get rid of the evil (democratically elected) dictator.

Funny that.

Funny how people buy this nonsense.

Not really, a few lessons need to be learnt as to why Iran insisted on enriching uranium to weapons grade when they had a contract with Russia to supply all the enriched uranium they could ever need for the foreseeable future. Why have they stockpiled tons of enriched uranium if they don't need it, why have they built more centrifuges to enrich the ore and why are they developing long range missiles capable of carrying a nuclear payload. Why are/were they so secretive over their nuclear testing and enrichment if they were not going for weapons production, and why did they LIE so much.

If you had the US trying to stop you making a weapon that would prevent the US from invading your country, would you not be a bit secretive about it?

Funny how many have accepted western and Israeli propaganda. A regime a country does not make.

He's right, India is also a victim of Islamist terror and in a virtual state of war with Pakistan, another Muslim nation, whom Iran has acquired its nuclear know-how from. Plus India and Israel are close allies on many levels. The only thing preventing friction between India and Iran is that Iranians are Shiite and not Sunnis, China doesn't play any role.

"the Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem(een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods, Persian: این رژیم اشغالگر قدس‎‎) must [vanish from] the page of time(bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad, Persian: باید از صفحه روزگار محو شود‎‎)," noting that there is no Persian idiom to wipe something off the map.The key phrase here Safheh-ye ruzgar (pages of time/of history) was itself a slight variation on Ayatollah Khomeini's words."

Funny how many have accepted western and Israeli propaganda. A regime a country does not make.

President Hashemi Rafsanjani called for a Muslim state to annihilate Israel with a nuclear strike.
Semantics in what Amadinejammie said.

When did he say anything of the sort except in Hasbara propaganda pieces?

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Death to Israel death to USA is a daily chant for the hired masses, and almost part of the national anthem. Ha ha ha:

"The Iranian regime is not populated by Nazis, but it is led by people who do, in fact, seek the physical elimination of the Jewish state and its replacement by a Muslim state. It works toward this end, by sponsoring terrorist groups that regularly kill Jews, both in Israel and elsewhere.

So, as a reminder to those who argue that Jews should stop worrying so much about people who threaten to kill them, here is some (just some) of what Iran's leaders, and leaders of its proxy militia, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, have said about Israel:

Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran: “If we abide by real legal laws, we should mobilize the whole Islamic world for a sharp confrontation with the Zionist regime … if we abide by the Koran, all of us should mobilize to kill.” (2000)

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: “It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.” (2001)

Hassan Nasrallah, a leader of Hezbollah: “If they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” (2002)

Nasrallah: “Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. Its destiny is manifested in our motto: ‘Death to Israel.’” (2005)

Yahya Rahim Safavi, the former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps: “With God’s help the time has come for the Zionist regime’s death sentence.” (2008)

Mohammad Hassan Rahimian, Khamenei’s representative to the Moustazafan Foundation: “We have manufactured missiles that allow us, when necessary to replace [sic] Israel in its entirety with a big holocaust.” (2010)

Mohammad Reza Naqdi, the commander of the Basij paramilitary force: “We recommend them [the Zionists] to pack their furniture and return to their countries. And if they insist on staying, they should know that a time while arrive when they will not even have time to pack their suitcases.” (2011)

Khamenei: “The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor and it will be removed.” (2012)

Ahmad Alamolhoda, a member of the Assembly of Experts: “The destruction of Israel is the idea of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and is one of the pillars of the Iranian Islamic regime. We cannot claim that we have no intention of going to war with Israel.” (2013)

Nasrallah: “The elimination of Israel is not only a Palestinian interest. It is the interest of the entire Muslim world and the entire Arab world.” (2013)

Hojateleslam Alireza Panahian, the advisor to Office of the Supreme Leader in Universities: “The day will come when the Islamic people in the region will destroy Israel and save the world from this Zionist base.” (2013)

Hojatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei’s representative in the Revolutionary Guard: “The Zionist regime will soon be destroyed, and this generation will be witness to its destruction." (2013)

Khamenei: “This barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated.” (2014)

Hossein Salami, the deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard: "We will chase you [Israelis] house to house and will take revenge for every drop of blood of our martyrs in Palestine, and this is the beginning point of Islamic nations awakening for your defeat." (2014)

Salami: "Today we are aware of how the Zionist regime is slowly being erased from the world, and indeed, soon, there will be no such thing as the Zionist regime on Planet Earth." (2014)

Hossein Sheikholeslam, the secretary-general of the Committee for Support for the Palestinian Intifada: "The issue of Israel's destruction is important, no matter the method. We will obviously implement the strategy of the Imam Khomeini and the Leader [Khamenei] on the issue of destroying the Zionists. The region will not be quiet so long as Israel exists in it ..." (2014)

Mohammad Ali Jafari, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guard: "The Revolutionary Guards will fight to the end of the Zionist regime ... We will not rest easy until this epitome of vice is totally deleted from the region's geopolitics." (2015)

Why would India be involved in any untoward policy to Iran, it is, next to China, its biggest trading partner?

...and when did anybody in this thread mention anything about India?

Do you actually read any of the previous posts?

"WONDERFUL NEWS! Thanks. Like I said, with a nuclear India to the East & a nuclear Israel to the West, Iran is in checkmate with a ruined economy & a youth revolution brewing to rid the country of their leadership Mullah's & Ayatollah's."

He's right, India is also a victim of Islamist terror and in a virtual state of war with Pakistan, another Muslim nation, whom Iran has acquired its nuclear know-how from. Plus India and Israel are close allies on many levels. The only thing preventing friction between India and Iran is that Iranians are Shiite and not Sunnis, China doesn't play any role.

What does that nonsense have to do with your inane questioning about why I mentioned India?

Ahh, quoting from the Zionist equivalent of the Elders of Zion. Good move, makes your nonsense all the more believable.

the nonsense is claiming that China plays a role in India's relationship with Iran.
