    I think it’s inevitable that Iran is going to make bomb-grade uranium. The real question is how they are planning to threaten others without long range rockets.

      Probably buy RD-180 tech package or just the engines from the Russians.

      The RD-180 is one of the most robust and reliable rocket engines ever made. Slap that baby on the bottom of a couple fuel and oxidizer tanks, and you can reach just about anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less. The North Koreans stole the plans for it and now they have ICBMs, the Iranians could do something similar.

    Hasn’t Israel been saying this since the 90’s? And it’s never turned out to be true?

    If Iran wants to avoid being attacked again, they need to get the bomb asap. The US and Israel would be a little less willing to attack another nuclear armed nation.

    Well now they know they won’t be safe unless they have an atomic bomb so of course they’re gunning for it.

    Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is getting close to the bomb for like more than 10 years now. Iran was willing to negotiate on their nuclear armament but Mr. Deal maker fucked that up too and now they feel cornered. And you know what they say about cornered animals.

      Basically all nuclear powers are ignorant lunatics doing exactly what you would do if you wanted nuclear proliferation.

      Ukraine gave up nukes for assurances of autonomy and security from Russia and America. Both countries have given them a reason to acquire nukes if they can, and who can blame them?

    Khamenei didn’t change his religious decree that prohibit nukes
