    I don’t think so, they don’t really need any justification to invade Iran. They’ve got a stronger case than they did to invade Iraq, massive human rights violations, and we know for sure they’re developing nuclear weapons.

      You’d think after “developing nuclear weapons” and being “weeks away” from having them for over 30 years they might have them by now. Something tells me they aren’t actually working towards that goal, though maybe they fucking should so the western powers get off their backs.

      Also why would it be a problem if they have nukes? Several countries have them without incident and some heads of states which possess nukes are more of their rocker than Iran’s leaders.

          Have they claimed to have a nuclear weapons program? We know they have a weapons weapon program which they’ve used to target US bases (and sold to Russia), but as far as I’m aware they’ve never claimed to have or be building nukes. That’s an accusation that’s been levied against then since before I was born, but not one that’s been proven in any meaningful way.

            You’re right, they’re just refining uranium far beyond what is needed for any peaceful purpose for funzies.

            Come on dude.

              And what of it? Several countries have nukes, what’s one more? A sovereign country developing them doesn’t automatically give another country the right to violate their sovereignty.

              They haven’t developed a full nuke yet and it’s got nothing to do with the fact that they are under attack.

                OK, so what do you think they need it for? I don’t actually blame them for wanting nukes, but it’s pretty difficult to say they’re not building them.

                  Probably to demonstrate the technical capability of producing it, if I were to bet. But that’s not a weapons program. Not even close.
