I love yellow cake. Especially with chocolate frostingNo, no. We have to "yellow cake" this into an excuse for military intervention by the US.

I mean, in today's world, who doesn't need to be bombed?@Roadvirus may wish to consider your point and decide there must be some Iranians with potential nuclear weapon program related plans which also need to be bombed.
These articles are from this year, nor do they describe enrichment facilities that were enriching uranium while the JCPOA was in effect.
/threadThat's Aljazeera's spin on what was said. What was actually said was they couldn't affirm Iran was building a nuclear weapon.
'We did not say that,' IAEA chief denies Iran building a nuclear weapon - CNBC TV18
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi also highlighted the concerns of nuclear radiations and leaks following the Israeli attacks citing radiological events where nuclear material can disperse in the atmosphere. Read on:www.cnbctv18.com
"For us, on the basis of our inspections, our own evaluations, we came to the conclusion that we could not affirm that there is any systematic effort in Iran at the moment to manufacture a nuclear weapon," Grossi said.

The articles are from the IAEA report from this year that verify the fact that those undeclared sites were used for enrichment and storage purposes. After the Israel intel breach there was an attempt to scrub the sites before the IAEA inspection but it failed and the IAEA concluded that they were operated in breach of the JCPOA.
None of the articles you linked actually say that Iran was enriching Uranium at these sites while under the JCPOA.
Nor did the 2018 Israeli leaks reveal a secret enrichment facility. And your assertion that there was one, but it was "scrubbed" by the Iranians makes no sense; to "scrub" an enrichment facility would require deconstruction of hundreds, if not thousands of centerfuges, cooling towers, and power generators.
Undeclared stockpiles of Uranium can be used masked enrichment efforts by supplementing them into the declared enrichment products to give the appearance that the appropriate output has been maintained while in reality more enriched product was secretly moved to undeclared sites. Most of the IAEAs work is based pretty much accounting and book keeping and confirming input product and output product and ensuring the expected results. This works when the inspectors are assumed of a closed system with fully documented resources, but these undeclared sites made the even the observed processes harder to track.
What? What secret enrichment facility was discovered?
They were enriching up to 60%. Civilian use requires nothing more than 5%. Why?
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.
Who needs experts when you have Fox commentators? I just heard Trump say he doesn't believe Tulsi gabbard who heads his very own intelligence service, better to trust the word of another one of his autocratic friends, Netanyahu.Actively building versus intent to build.

I’m just asking a question about something that doesn’t make sense to me right now. If there is no answer, it would make no difference, as I am not in any position of decision-making regarding this issue. Just curiosity.What are the implications if interwebz rando, @Jredbaron96 does not have an answer you approve of?
If @Jredbaron96 cannot come up with an answer you like, is that evidence for your assertion?

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.
Iran's revitalized covert nuclear weapon program was only first discovered in the early 2000s
The IAEA assured everyone that they put an end to the AMAD Project in the early 2000s until leaked documents in 2018 proved that Iran has been progressing towards nuclear weapons all this time.
My point is that we have a pretty poor record of having an accurate understanding when the politicians are involved.Except this time Iran does have some WMDs unlike Iraq. They do most definitely have chemical weapons.
I don't believe that even trump is stupid enough to call for a ground invasion.If the US invaded and I was in charge of Iran’s defense, I would disperse the nerve agents to special forces units, wait for the US to occupy Iran, and then use the nerve agents against the occupying troops.

American isolationism always seems to mutate into arrogant imperialism, doesn't it?
It's almost like the isolationism is a seed pod for the still fragile seeds of intrusion.
