To those arguing that only nuclear weapons can ensure deterrence, I would recommend paying attention to the words of user PeeD, who knows a thing or two about these questions:
Which pretty much reflects the point I have been making in numerous discussions here.
Add to that the fact that the US is entirely subservient to zionism and would never risk putting in danger the zionist apartheid regime, and you will see why in order to deter Washington, all one will need to do is to deter Tel Aviv from all out military aggression.
To gain proper and deeper understanding of Iran's contemporary military doctrine and its principle of conventional counter-force, please read the following blog article:

This clearly shows why and how Iran is deterring its foes from launching a full fledged war.

Actually one would have to be naive to assume that the US regime can successfully invade and occupy Iran in a few months without incurring prohibitive costs - which is precisely why it has refrained from doing so.
If they could, they would have proceeded with it under Bush jr., when Iran had been designated as the prime target of their so-called "axis of evil".
As a matter of fact Iran's conventional counter-force has done exactly that for the past decades.
Well, those aren't the exact words of user Darius77.
Either way, a brief glimpse at the massive yearly rallies celebrating the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, at the humongous crowds gathering to bid farewell to martyr Qasem Soleimani (largest funeral procession in history), or at participation rates at the various elections held by the Islamic Republic will decisively disprove any notion of a supposed loss of legitimacy.
Again and again for over 40 years, western-backed, exiled opposition groups have been rehashing such notions like a broken record, only to find themselves challenged by the facts.
I'd recommend not to take seriously western- and zionist-controlled mainstream media reporting on Iran, which in essence is nothing but hostile propaganda.
And we will soon be reminded how erroneous this assessment was.
The enemy cannot even defeat Iran in Syria and has in fact been soundly beaten back there, and now we are to assume they are going to launch an extraordinarily costly invasion of Iran?
No it's not. Whether or not one agrees with it is one thing, but it's baseless to compare swords and bullets, or conventional (and often precision-guided) warheads with WMD, which most of the time are used to kill massive numbers of civilians.
Everyone is able to see the difference between Hiroshima / Nagasaki on the one hand, and say, Iran's precision BM strikes on ISIS or Kurdish separatist groups in northern Syria and Iraq on the other.
To those content with a superficial look at Iranian politics, perhaps. Others would tend to differ however.
How about directing such complaints at the Bosnian government first, and protesting any decision on its part to assist NATO-led wars of aggression?
Or maybe you should spend that energy on denouncing the criminal zionist and NATO regimes threatening Iran, rather than directing ironic and biased remarks at the one government which has mustered enough courage and integrity to challenge and confront these regimes for four decades in a row?

Not exactly. Imam Khomeini rejected the use of WMD during the 1980's Iran-Iraq war already, when Saddam's forces with the help of their western (mostly European) backers developed and made extensive use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops and even civilian areas.
See the introductory part of this post where I quote PeeD. The blog article I linked to details Iran's strategic thinking in this regard.
I doubt anyone would get upset over constructive criticism and/or suggestions. But extrapolations leading to disproportionate attacks (including accusations of treason or connivence with the enemy), are a different pair of shoes. One should be able of engaging in the former while staying clear of the latter, as they are uncalled for in addition to being beneficial to Iran's enemies.
Some have argued for acquisition of nuclear weapons, and I think they are entitled to their views. At the same time, efforts should be made to understand the rationale behind Iran's defense doctrine, which to this day has successfully managed to safeguard the country's stability and terroritorial integrity against the most powerful, brutish and despicable enemies out there. It therefore has its merits and is certainly not stupid, negligent or even treacherous. Although of course, constructive criticism should always be welcome.
The indigenization of nuclear technology has allowed advancements in a large number of scientific and industrial fields. In fact nuclear science has many lesser known applications accross the board.
Also it helps the diversification of Iran's electricity production.
Of course they are. 1000MW of electricty are currently being generated from Iran's nuclear reactor in Bushehr, where two more reactors are under construction as we speak.
Tehran's TRR research reactor is very much producing medical isotopes. Not sure where you got that information from.

Iran has no illusions that Israel and the U.S would resort to nuclear weapons, once these complexes start to launch their conventional missile arsenal. Especially Israel would soon realized that damage from Irans conventional BM arsenal threatens its existence.
Which pretty much reflects the point I have been making in numerous discussions here.
Add to that the fact that the US is entirely subservient to zionism and would never risk putting in danger the zionist apartheid regime, and you will see why in order to deter Washington, all one will need to do is to deter Tel Aviv from all out military aggression.

well US could occupy Iran in a few months. You’d have to be crazy or ignorant to not know that.

Only nukes could prevent such an invasion
As a matter of fact Iran's conventional counter-force has done exactly that for the past decades.
But you are right. The incompetent regime has lost legitimacy.

It can’t protect the country and will have a war as soon as Syria is would up.

I think so. How can nukes be haram, but missiles with a 1 tonne warhead are halal?
Swords are halal, ok the prophet used a sword. So what are bullets? This is ridiculous.
No it's not. Whether or not one agrees with it is one thing, but it's baseless to compare swords and bullets, or conventional (and often precision-guided) warheads with WMD, which most of the time are used to kill massive numbers of civilians.

there is a remarkable level of idiocy in the Iranian government.

my own children risk being sent to fight Iran in the coming decade unless Iran gets these nukes soon.
How about directing such complaints at the Bosnian government first, and protesting any decision on its part to assist NATO-led wars of aggression?
well exactly. There Should be ruling on legality of atom bomb vs hydrogen bomb vs neutron bomb.
maybe they should go for the halal neutron bomb?
Or maybe you should spend that energy on denouncing the criminal zionist and NATO regimes threatening Iran, rather than directing ironic and biased remarks at the one government which has mustered enough courage and integrity to challenge and confront these regimes for four decades in a row?

Apparently nukes were halal up until 2003 and then overnight it became haram.
Not exactly. Imam Khomeini rejected the use of WMD during the 1980's Iran-Iraq war already, when Saddam's forces with the help of their western (mostly European) backers developed and made extensive use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops and even civilian areas.
There are nukes specifically designed for military purposes ''tactical nuclear weapons''.
I really don't know what these mullahs are thinking.
See the introductory part of this post where I quote PeeD. The blog article I linked to details Iran's strategic thinking in this regard.
When i say that the current supreme leader has damaged Iran regarding this issue some get upset.

Our nuclear program is up and running for 20 years now and still till this day we really do not know what the purpose is.
The indigenization of nuclear technology has allowed advancements in a large number of scientific and industrial fields. In fact nuclear science has many lesser known applications accross the board.
Also it helps the diversification of Iran's electricity production.
We are not even generating electricity
Of course they are. 1000MW of electricty are currently being generated from Iran's nuclear reactor in Bushehr, where two more reactors are under construction as we speak.
we are not mass producing for medical purposes,
Tehran's TRR research reactor is very much producing medical isotopes. Not sure where you got that information from.

Unfortunately each and every road in the country (there are tens of thousands of kilometers of those) cannot be fenced, walled or equipped with security devices.Imagine a high profile murder took place on such deserted road ... its open invitation for assassins' .. no security
