Iran nuclear weapon over a year away, says Obama

[mehboobkz]

Would you mind giving explanations for the BOLD parts?

Above is very clearly said.

I thought you will find your own post confusing, but I was so wrong...

What would be Iran's response against US shock n awe with all those Tomahawks raining down on Iran.....



Cyber war cant pin down Iran 1-2-3.
It has to be a surgical strike to decimate EU units without killing people.

Idk feel like as soon as the Iranian leadership changes and say someone with a less extremist rhetoric comes into power, all these sanctions and the cyber war might just result in Iran giving up. Iran is trying to hide it, but it suffering a lot!

Or maybe in another scenario,Iran and U.S end hostilities and suddenly Persian Gulf's Arab monarchies lose all their importance and role as puppets in a blink of an eye,and feel humiliated for billions of dollars they spent to be able to stand against Iran.

Arabs's are exactly playing the role against Iran that Iran was doing in 70s against Soviets.But your hate is too much to understand that.I hope it won't be too late when you get it.

I agree with that. With US hostile to Iran, it has enabled some GCC countries (mainly Saudi Arabia) to also act more hostile. If US and Iran were to end hostilities and let Iran have a seat at the table, those Arab states would have a LOT less maneuveribility and have to deal with a regional giant that is no longer isolated or contained by the US. They are scared sh*tless of such a scenario.

However I dont think US and Iran will have rapprochement any time soon.

The US should in my view supply the weaponry and military and diplomatic backup to Israel to destroy those centrifuges soon, as well as anti-ICBM capability, to Israel.

Peace fan?! Such an irony!
Why does everyone think we are building nuclear bomb? If Iran wanted to build nuclear bomb it would be much easier to acquire plutonium in 1990 through 1994 time frame.

Why did we invest billions of dollars on enrichment? Simple, energy independence! We own 25% of Eurodif (European Gaseous Diffusion Uranium Enrichment Consortium) and officially have the right to 10% of the production, but they refuse to honor the agreement.

Some people say, why Iran goes after nuclear energy when it has so much oil and gas? I could ask you the same question? Why would United States build nuclear reactors when there are Saudi-sized reserves in South Dakota and untapped oil reserves in Alaska?

Nuclear development plannings date back to Shah era, he thought if Iran goes nuclear we could export more oil and even desalinate and export Persian Gulf's water to Arabic countries, especially Kuwait.

After iraq and Afghanistan, iran??
Foolishness on their part if they declare any such war.

Why the US, always has to fork for what you did to the Jewish people in your country and in all Europe? How about sending your best fellow citizens to defend Israel and destroy Iran , instead of us doing it?

So the war is inching towards Persia sooner than later.....

Just talk...Country that can fight are never attacked...If the USA plan in attacking Iran, the will never put a Shia Government in Iraq.

It started a while back, cyber warfare.

And that will be the extent of it..

In this era of technology, population doesn't play any major role and even with/out the population factor Iran is going to lose, it will not be able to confront. It doesn't have any technological capabilities to launch a retaliatory attack on US/ISrael, Nor it has the capabilities to resist any attack coming from those countries.

Population play a great role in any conflict. Iran has the capability to hurt not only Israel who is in their missile's reach , but the entire world, by just closing the detroit of harmuz and destroying Saoudi oil terminal in the gulf and the pumping station of the red sea oil pipeline. These two targets can put halt to world oil supplies that will take decades to repair...

Iran is totally surrounded from Iraq, Afghanistan, pakistan, Azerbaijan, Qatar and UAE. The US are camping everywhere in the region near by. what would the mullas strategy be here if the attacks rains on each part of the country at once? what will happen when the useless missiles iran have are not able to leave their place taking the presence of the US missile shield into calculation wether on the Arabian gulf, iraqi, Afghanistan..etc Hence the Patriot Turkey deployed lately.

Why make you think that their missiles are useless and US missile shield is 100% proof. Historical fact show that patriot missiles deployed during desert storm failed to intercept Saddam scud about 80% of the time, Iron dome the israeli dome barely attained 5% success...

Simply Iran cant face the US/Israel air force and the navy. both are nuclear strike capability. The mullas will be swallowed easily like chicken bits;Waving the white flag is the only option.

What make you think that Iran doesn't already possess that capability. They certainely have plenty of vecteurs.

It is getting to their head. The good joke of the month, is when the Saoudi minister of defence threatens Ethiopia in defend of Egyptian water quota from the Nile.

LoLz

The longer they halt their military strike against Iran, the closer Iran gets its hand on the bomb. Keep in mind the west never liked the idea of seeing Pakistan going nuclear ,but obviously the only thing they were good at was the relentless gun-boat policy toward Pak. In fact, Bhutto was frank white about the nuke. The Paks went nuclear but never were forced to consume the grass

 

[raptor22]

It's laughable to see israel which is not a signatory of NPT and armed with 300 nukes with no control on its program is pointing its finger towards Iran and says it poses a threat to international peace, they are just some drunk bullies who obey law of the jungle,
