I Don't Understand This About Iran

[Robert W]

You left out that the US uses it's ships (non-nuclear) to close the Strait of Hormuz.

You took care of that.

 

[Robert W]

Yet Trumps followers have to defend Trump's catastrophic failure.

And that's the STRAIT truth.

What failure?

 

[Invisibleflash]

They say their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and yet they enriched Uranium to far beyond that level, very close to weapons grade.

They had been refusing to hand over the excessively enriched Uranium. Why? Why do they need near weapons grade Uranium?

Then Iran offered to halt any further enrichment for 5 years. Why? Do they want to enrich Uranium to weapons grade after 5 years? Why, if their program is for peaceful purposes?

The US has offered 20 years but, again, I say why? And, if Iran accepts that, then they can enrich Uranium again to near weapons grade after 20 years? Why, if their program is for peaceful purposes?

Tehran offered to halt any further enrichment for five years, while the US insisted on a 20-year freeze

Trump: Iran has agreed to hand over its uranium

Iran has agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, Donald Trump has claimed, saying the US is “close” to a peace deal to end the war.

I hope the US doesn't settle for 20 years. It should be permanently, as in forever. If we accept this deal it gives Iran 20 years to rebuild their battered military capabilities and defenses, including ballistic missiles which would be able to reach the US and then they start enriching Uranium again to make nuclear bombs. Then, if that happens, we are worse off than being back to square one because Iran will have had 20 years to rebuild and plan, including importing weapons and defenses from Russia and China.

Trump blamed Obama's 10 year deal with Iran as being stupid and he was right but I say the very same thing about a 20 year deal. It's stupid.

Was supposed to be a negotiation ploy. Didn't work. Trump don't care unless it goes boom. It would have worked with dems. But does not work for Jewmerica.

You realize that Trump is promising something he can't fulfill.
The only way to make sure Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, is to erase Iran's civilization from existence. And eradicate 90 million people from the planet.

Actually the blockade of Iranian oil is very persuasive. Its hard to run a country with no money.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

I'm highly offended..
enriching uranium is a uniquely American cultural activity anyone else doing it is appropriating my culture
******* racists

It's difficult, but possible. Look at North Korea, they were under real international sanctions for years, but then they got their bomb and now they are safe and prosperous.
And no, Iran wasn't internationally sanctioned as DPRK, and they have a lot of ways to earn money and weapons. May be because Russia and China don't believe in your slander, or, may be, because they decided that Iran should be nuclear and be able to fight and win a regional nuclear war and deter the USA.

^^^ TRANSLATION: North Korea survived being a total outcast in the civilized world with some of its people literally starving by subsisting off of being the lackey to Russia and China who are themselves only reluctantly admitted into the global community.

You can prepare for defense while being peaceful.

For protection.

Trump promised the MAGA base no new wars.

In his election night victory speech in November 2024, Trump told his supporters: “I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.”

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised “no new wars”

And he's keeping that promise.

What war has he started?

That's just empty propagandistic rhetoric. North Korea survived and Iraq didn't. That's all what matters. And now Irainian people have to choose - suffer some pain but gain nukes or accept American demands, surrender and be totally destroyed.
Right now they say, that they are not going to surrender. And they are still alive and kicking.

 

[HikerGuy83]

And they are still alive and kicking.

Just like the people the regime hangs in public.

They have a heartbeat and kick their legs.

For a few minutes.........

The only Iranian people doing any talking are the anti government protesters demanding the end of the ayatollahs' regime in the largest protest since 1979 protests that brought down the Shah's government.

AI Overview



As of April 2026, widespread anti-government protests are occurring across Iran, fueled by economic collapse, deepening repression, and military conflict. Protests have continued in defiance of a lethal government crackdown, with students holding rallies and reports of executions for detained protesters.

Yep, the UN "Snapback Sanctions" kicked in...Iran's economy is a mess and getting worse.

UN sanctions on Iran officially reinstated: here’s what they target

All UN sanctions suspended under the 2015 deal with Iran snapped back into force at 8 pm Eastern Time on September 27, one month after European powers triggered the so-called "snapback" mechanism. What are they, and what impact will they have?

Why make any deals if we won? At this point it is terms. This is dragging out. This sure ain't the U.S.S. Missouri in 1945.

They're fed and clothed by Red China and the Russians.

If you think they're 'prosperous' you must live in a real shithole.

Oh, my dear mushroom. Didn't they tell you about numerous pro-government demonstrations?
Like:

There are two basic ways to "solve" current crisis. First one - to surrender on American mercy (there is no such thing), see their country destroyed, and leave it or live even in much deeper poverty. Second one - to fight and defeat the USA, and then - make US return their money, lift sanctions and collect money for protection from Hormuz Strait and Gulf states.
Most of Iranians prefer the later.

It's all relative, isn't it? Of course North Korea is worse place for life than Moscow. But literally every place in the world (including Paris and New York) is worse than Moscow. Many UN experts see it as the best city in the world to live.
But if we compare Pyongyang and Bagdad - Pyonyang is a way better. Say nothing about military industrial capabilities. North Korea gave to Russia more shells, than the whole NATO gave to Ukraine.

 

[markef]

Trump lies more than any leader in history.
And that's been documented.

Democrats have filled the simple minds of their deluded followers with lies that their followers are incapable of factchecking or examining. Democrats are shameless liars and frauds.

And yet you're still losing to poorly supplied conscripts. Imagine that ...
