Why Exactly Can't Iran Have a Nuke?

You asked. I gave the answer there is.

I never said it was a good answer.

I appreciate the honest answer you gave.

I do not believe that Iran is undeterrable.
History does not support the notion.

I disagree. Iran was following the deal Obama worked out with them. It was working according to all monitoring bodies.

Ask PolitiFact: What was the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump drop out?

"I don’t know what would have happened if he hadn’t withdrawn the U.S. from the deal," Lisa Koch, an expert on American foreign policy and nuclear weapons and a Claremont McKenna College associate professor of government, told PolitiFact. "But I can say that if the United States had stayed in the (Iran agreement), and if everything had continued to go as it had been going between January 2016 and the U.S. withdrawal, Iran would still have an internationally monitored nuclear program and would not possess uranium enriched to the level at which Iran could decide to build nuclear bombs on a short timeline."

imho, Iran compliance, is support for my assertion that Iran is deterrable.


Can you explain, how Iran's compliance indicates to you that that Iran is undeterrable?

Oh, my bad. I misunderstood your previous post.

So you think Iran is more righteous nation than the United States? What difference does any of this make to the point of this thread?

Therefore, Iran should be allowed to have a Nuke?

Or the United States has no right or stand on which to decide who should or shouldn't have one?

I think that last sentence is the most compelling one, the one that seems to make the most sense, but it's utter foolishness because of the stakes.

Whether you view the United States' use of nuclear weapons as horrible or a victory or whatever else, it doesn't matter anymore. What matters now is that cat is out of the bag and It is in the best interest of the United States and the world, frankly, to make sure that Iran doesn't have a nuke.

It's that simple.

The simple fact of the matter is the claim that the US “can’t let Iran have a nuke” is utterly nonsensical.

And the US demanding “the world” abide by its campaign of aggression against Iran is pathetic
