Has Iran's offensive military capacity been neutralized as the regime claims?

[ColonelAngus]

No joke, Iran is considering strapping bombs to dolphins and running them into ships.

You PETA phucks should be freaking out.

 

[Lesh]

Real for only 10-years, then it dissolved and Iran was free to get nuclear weapons, Iran could have nuclear weapons now according to the JCPOA.

If you call Trump's "no nukes ever" a "fantasy", that remains to be seen. It can't be any worse than the failed JCPOA.

The JCPOA would have only lasted for 10-years from 2016, Trump terminated it in 2018 and put the sanctions back on. Trump wants a permanent ban on nukes, not a temporary ban.

Trump wants a lot of things.

The reality is, he's made it more likely Iran will get a nuke, because the best way Iran can keep this kind of thing from ever happening again is to get a nuke.

Wrong again.

Claim 17: The deal, if implemented, will expire after 10 or 15 years and allow Iran to build a nuclear weapon at that time.​

The Facts:​

According to the comprehensive agreement, for at least 15 years, Iran will only enrich uranium up to 3.67 percent (uranium enriched at 20% or lower is considered low enriched uranium (LEU); uranium enriched above 90% is weapons grade.)

This does not, however, mean that on day one of year 16, Iran will have enough weapons-grade uranium to build a bomb. Yes, after 15 years Iran could begin enriching uranium beyond 3.67 percent. But without this deal, Iran could head for a bomb tomorrow.

Some aspects of the agreement will last 25 years, including the monitoring of Iran’s uranium mines and supply chain. Other aspects, such as the implementation of robust IAEA safeguards and access to investigate suspicious sites for illicit nuclear activity, are permanent. Regardless of what specific restrictions are lifted, Iran is still prohibited from pursuing nuclear weapons. Any activity that is clearly not intended for “peaceful use” (i.e. highly enriching uranium) will raise red flags and trigger a response from the international community.

Ultimately, the deal rolls back Iran’s nuclear program for more than a decade, pushing Iran’s “breakout time” (time it would take to enrich enough nuclear material for 1 nuclear weapon) from a few months to at least one year. It also gives IAEA inspectors greater insight for monitoring Iran’s nuclear program well into the future.

It's long been known nothing the regime says can be trusted. Remember when we "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities last summer. Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse lost his job for refuting that falsehood. Or as trump devotees refer to such things, an exaggeration.

More recently we were told Iran's army and navy have been destroyed in the joint attacks by Israel and the US. But ships in the Strait have been attacked by Iran. And now this.........

UAE says it intercepted Iranian missiles for first time since ceasefire began​

The United Arab Emirates said Monday it successfully intercepted multiple missiles fired from Iran.

Three “loitering munitions” were “intercepted over the country’s territorial waters,” said the UAE’s Defence Ministry in a translated post on its official X account.

A fourth missile “fell into the sea,” said the ministry. The UAE is located on the southern rim of the Persian Gulf, a major chokepoint in the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran.

The reported attack is the first time that the UAE has activated its missile alert system since the U.S. and Iran began a testy ceasefire on April 8.

The reported development further frays the temporary truce, which was already being strained by new U.S. military actions in the Strait of Hormuz.

We were also told the new regime in Iran is more reasonable than the last.

US President Donald Trump said this week that Iran’s new leadership is “less radical and much more reasonable.” Trump and the Pentagon have repeatedly claimed that regime change has happened.

It doesn't appear that's true either.

Please note this Islamocrat Cultist has no evidence their military hadn’t been destroyed.

The JCPOA dissolved when Trump dissolved it

It was a Barry Hussein Executive Order. Let the class know why Barry had to issue an EO instead of it being a treaty.

Effectively, yes. The other signatories tried to keep it going for a few years but once the US re-imposed economic sanctions Iran's incentive to abide by the agreement was lost.

Yes, after 15 years Iran could begin enriching uranium beyond 3.67 percent.

Gotta love when Islamocrat propaganda gets refuted by Islamocrat propaganda.

You mean besides the rocket attacks and the closing of the strait?

I remember that just days before the 1968 Tet Offensive kicked off, I remember Wastmoreland was boasting the the U.S. Military had "Degraded" the VC's ability to fight. Then came the news the VC had attacked the U.S. Embassy in Saigon and taken it over. The VC killed several members of the staff before U.S. Forces could take control of the building.

What do you know

 

[HikerGuy83]

Trump needs to stop listening to the Iranian voices in his head.

You need to find a high cliff and do us all a favor.

Nobody knows what is going on outside of those involved.

It's all speculation and lies.

And idiots like you are a real menace to society

 

[Political-Junkie]

You expect the Iranian regime to admit to the failure of its military?!

You think either side is being truthful?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

You think either side is being truthful?

I’d expect the American side to be effectively truthful as they’re answerable to the people.
Iran, no way as they care nothing about their people. Only their devil-god.

LOL. What part of Iran cheated on the JCPOA don't you understand?

You can quote the agreement all you want, but if Iran cheated on it, its worthless.

Iran wants to destroy the world for Allah. No need for comparisons to that.
