IAEA chief: No evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon

[jmotivator]

Are they?

Yes, the latest IAEA report stated that Iran was producing 60% Enriched Uranium as late as last Friday.

MAGA conveniently forgets that Donald Trump completely pulled the US out of the JCPOA Agreement in 2018 where the IAEA directly monitored Iranian nuclear facilities.

The JCPOA was signed in 2015 by the United States, Iran, China, Russia, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Trump broke his 2016 campaign promise to renegotiate the agreement.

"WE DID NOT FIND IN IRAN ELEMENTS TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE SYSTEMATIC PLAN TO BUILD A NUCLEAR PROGRAM"

Enriching U235 to 60% is intent to build a nuclear weapon. There is no civilian use for Uranium enrichment at that level, especially in power generation which Iran claims is their only interest in enrichment.

They appear to be doing just that. They weakened, if not effectively eliminated Hamas. Hezbollah is full of blind peckerless soldiers. Assad is chillin' with Putin. They are making it happen.

Offing Iranian leadership in the process is just a bonus.

100% concur

No we didn't. You should try discussing things outside of talking points.

Democrats conveniently ignore that the JCPOA was an entirely unworkable, toothless agreement that Iran never had any intention of honoring.

Under JCPOA Iran would declare the the sites that inspectors could access and deny access to sites that weren't on Iran's list. It rendered the agreement utterly meaningless.

Iran Deal Limits Inspectors’ Access to Suspicious Sites | Bipartisan Policy Center

The merits of the final deal's verification measures have to be judged on the basis of the authority it gives inspectors to access potential…

Any actual benefit of JCPOA was the figment of Progressive imaginations.

Buildling it? You mean actually assembling it? If I buy all the components to make a suicide vest, but haven't asssembled it yet am I going to be arrested if cought? Yes. Iran has been enriching uranium to levels needed to create a nuke. Uranium for nuclear power for domestic use is about 3.5% enrichment. Iran has been very close to the 90% enrichment for a while and continue to work to that level.

So let's wait until they have the bomb to worry about it?
Uranium enrichment levels determine whether it is used for nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons. Low-enriched uranium (LEU), typically 3-5% uranium-235 (U-235), is used in nuclear power reactors. Highly enriched uranium (HEU), at 90% or more U-235, is required for nuclear weapons. Enrichment levels are a crucial factor in the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as the same technology can be used to produce

We do not agree often, but I could not agree more with your post. No more wasted American lives or resources in the ME, it NEVER ends good for the US.

I am hoping President Trump is just blowing smoke up Iranian asses, I suspect that maybe the case.

 

[Deuce]

Yes. According to the IAEA.

So are we believing the IAEA or not?

[yankintx]

Iran is spending billions with no intent of building a bomb?! Someone needs to tell them that they're wasting money.

US intelligence says they are years away, let Israel do what they are good at, the US needs to just watch from the sidelines.

We've seen this shitshow before. In Iraq. Turns out they had no WMD. Cost us and others a lot of blood and treasure to find that out. But a doofus president wanted to play at war.

Sems as though we are on the verge of repeating history - with a much more dangerous target and a much bigger doofus as president.

I am. I cannot speak for others.

So, you don't think we should trust US intelligence estimates like the one in post #35?

 

[CaughtInThe]

We need some kind of agreement where international inspectors go in and keep an eye on everything.

humans are dumb ass animals.

I would also add irrational and overly emotional too.

If I were Iran right now I’d be thinking nuclear deterrence is my only chance at peace.

I do agree that regime change is necessary

Religious leaders are unacceptable when a continuous criminal enterprise like the ASS-k-NAZI entity is your enemy .

They have got to find the meanest individual in Iran.


Someone who understands that

1- you need an Air Force to defend Teheran.

2- You use the MOST DESTRUCTIVE MISSILES IN THE ARSENAL FIRST

A regime change may in fact be necessary, but we're not very good at that sort of thing. In fact, we initiated a regime change in Iran some time ago...it didn't end well.

Uranium enriched to 60 per cent cannot be used to make a useful nuclear explosive device

Why is Iran producing 60 per cent-enriched uranium?

On 13 April, Iran announced its intention to enrich uranium to 60 per cent U-235. This was characterized by Iran as a response to a sabotage of its vast underground enrichment cascades at Natanz two days before.

What about if Isreal got rid of their nuclear weapons and Iran signed an agreement to not create nuclear weapons?

I fully concur

Regime change must be left to the Iranians.

I should have clarified that I meant to say that "If I were an Iranian " those characteristics would have been my choices.

NOT gonna happen as long as the ASS-k-NAZI Regime owns the Congresscritters

That sounds reasonable but I have little faith the US won’t create more problems by also bombing Iran. Trump did say two weeks though which is a good sign he’ll lose interest.

Actively building versus intent to build.

If they didn't intend to build a nuclear weapon they'd need to explain why they are pushing 60% Uranium enrichment levels when 3-5% enrichment is all that is needed for energy production.

They've been intending to build for 40 years.
Do i need to post articles from that long ago saying Iran is on the verge.

Same story same crap.
