A simple question about Iran



Doesn't sound like it was working from your point of view, for you want Iran to have nukes, then support the JCPOA, which prevents Iran from having nuclear warheads. Trump merely saw Iran still testing ballistic missiles all the while enriching uranium....so why an agreement when they weren't even living up to it? Trump did not just sit back and allow Iran to keep breaking the agreement and did the Presidential thing and brought back the sanctions on Iran.
 
Yes, poor lil Israel using the biggest bully on the planet to help them with their apartheid state.
Who is "the biggest bully on the planet"?
 
If any country can have nuclear weapons, then all countries should be able to have nuclear weapons. Get rid of all nuclear weapons.

Yes - I read it. The whole thing.
 
Since we opened our borders, why not?......let Iran have nukes, what the hell! Let's help in starting WWIII....so what if they blow Israel to Kingdom Come.......poor little Iran.

 
There is nothing in that link that shows the missile is capable of carrying nuclear warheads. It just asserts it with no evidence.



This article is more detailed on the missile program in Iran and gives specifics on the many missiles they have in their arsenal.
 

Please quote the exact part in that link where it shows Iran’s missiles can carry nuclear warheads.

Sure:


According to reliable media reports and what Iranian authorities have stated so far, an array of short and medium-range ballistic missiles has been manufactured and successfully tested in Iran: Sejjil are the first long-range, two-stage, solid-fueled ballistic missiles in Iran with an operational range of nearly 2,000 km; Shahab, which are manufactured in three types of Shahab 1, 2, and 3 are the most famous generation of Iranian-made missiles; Shahab 1 with a range of 300km, Shahab 2 with a range of 500 km, and Shahab 3 with a range of 1.300-1,700 km are liquid-fueled missiles; Khalij Fars (Persian Gulf) missiles are supersonic ballistic missiles that can carry a warhead of up to 500 kg and could strike 90-100 tons warships; Ghadr-110 missiles are one of other generation of ballistic missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. Ghadar-110 is the improved model of the Shahab 3 missiles. Khorramshahr is another Iranian missile with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. It is without fins and capable of carrying up to 1800 kg warheads; Ghiam-1 is the first without fins ballistic missile with a range of 800 km and carries a 746 kg warhead.


Next, you will have to do a small bit of homework and find out the weights of nuclear warheads, as they very......but these missiles can easily carry a nuclear warhead.
 

If you think throw weight alone determines the capability to carry nuclear warheads, then it’s clear you have no idea what you are talking about.

Their missile payloads are capable of carrying 1100 to 4000 lbs.......are you Iranian?

Payload weight does not determine the capability of carrying nuclear weapons. The Popeye missile only has a payload capacity of 750 pounds, but it can carry a nuclear warhead.

Maybe you should do some research into the kinds of things missiles need to be able to carry them. (Here’s a clue to get you started: it has to do with fusing)
 
Why is Israel allowed to have nuclear weapons? Why does anyone have the authority to tell any country they don't have the right to defend itself as one of their enemies do?
 

The blame America first style of international relations is back.

A few things:
1. Iran wishes to export Islamic fundamentalism.
2. Iran seeks to destroy Israel and the USA as they are their principal block in achieving # 1.
3. The USA did not install a dictator in the 1950s.
4. The USA did not support Iraq during the 80s. USA policy during the Iran-Iraq War was that nobody wins and that it go on for as long as possible.

I think the whole idea of having nuclear weapons is humanity gone insane to the extreme, personally.......maybe just like some people we all know should never own a gun.
 
How is Biden's and the left's actions possibly not considered 'party before country' and / or 'ideology before country'? Or is that standard only applied to non-Democrats?

Their party's ideologies come first over country, without a doubt. They've opened our borders during a pandemic, releasing Covid infected illegal aliens within our country, caging up thousands of children in abusive conditions......passed a Covid relief bill which had very little to do with Covid relief......permitting boys to play alongside girls in sports across the country....desiring to pass the HR1 bill to essentially lock in their own party wins in future elections.....spreading misinformation concerning the Georgia voting Bill....and now want a massive infrastructure bill for their new green deal illusions. They are anything "but" country.....it's ALL about their ideology and the hell with the American People.
 
Iran sponsors terror. Have you forgotten about 9/11? Terrorists would love to get ahold of either nuclear material or a nuclear device and use it against us. Your hypothesis seems to be that we should either invent a time machine and change the past or just let Iran have nuclear weapons and material. How stupid.
