First, Iran was not even close to producing a nuclear bomb. They do not have enough highly enriched uranium to make one bomb. They may, may, have some enriched uranium, maybe 60%, or even 80%, that they could process to get enough for a bomb. But that would come out a cost to their agricultural and medical needs. From cancer screening to production of new cotton seed varieties, highly enriched uranium is required. And I am here to tell you, those new cotton strains are looking pretty damn good.

But they got no trigger. That is the key to the puzzle and Iran is no where near Boosted Fission capability. They would be more likely to blow themselves up than anything else. One again, the United States has jumped the shark.

2. Breakout-time math and public intelligence estimates
Western analysts and some U.S. intelligence summaries used that enriched stockpile and centrifuge inventory to calculate “breakout” timelines—estimates that Iran could produce weapons‑grade HEU in weeks to months if it chose to separate and further enrich existing 60% material—while the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency publicly suggested producing enough for a first bomb “probably less than one week” in one assessment, and other U.S. estimates placed device assembly at several months absent setbacks

“Jew war”.

Anyone notice that antisemites who joined 20 years ago and nobody ever heard of all of a sudden rise from the dead to spew their Jew-hate?

This site has an issue with antisemites hacking into dormant accounts.

American Middle-East Jew wars.
Jew files of which Epstein is a protagonist.

It is what it is.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

They're still trying to enrich the uranium. However, it was odd that Iran said they have nuclear capability a couple of weeks ago. I think they were bluffing. Persia has had dark powers over it for millennia. They're not going down until the time is right.

USA lost prestige.
This whole mess effects almost every country on earth to some degree (energy/inflation/fiscal), other nations are getting their infrastructure bombed.
Mid-/long-term consequences can not be predicted.

Now this thing is referring to “Jew files.”

 

[Winston]

This is an outright bald faced lie.

The Iranians themselves said they had enough for 11 bombs.

They said they have enough 60% enriched uranium, that if completely enriched to above 90%, could produce 11 bombs. They have maintained that minimum stockhold for quite some time. They have never demonstrated the capability of enriching to 90%, let alone solidify the gas, which is the state it is in now, construct it into the proper shape, and then properly initiate fission through synchronized initiation.

President Trump previously asked NATO and Asia for help securing the Strait, but they refused.

“The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump said in a statement on Monday, offering to supply oil from the United States if the countries cannot “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”


He added. “Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”

You sound HAPPY thinking that Islamic terrorists have America by the balls.

Actually, I am outraged that Trump would put the world in this position without considering the outcome

 

[rightwinger]

Just think where we’d be if Harris had won: A nuclear-armed Islamic Terrorist Regime.

You said the same thing about Saddam Hussein

 

[Winston]

Now this thing is referring to “Jew files.”

"thing"

First, I agree, "Jew files", "Jew war", uncalled for, even the war part, although I think what is going on with Jewish settlements on the West Bank might be playing a bigger part than anyone wants to mention.

But "thing", I might disagree with someone. Hell, I probably will. I might even call them names. But I just don't think I could dehumanize them. I don't think I could call them a "thing". I mean the fact that you can is really revealing.

Great. What a dumbass. But let him put his money where is mouth is. First, no more oil exports. Damn sure no more diesel exports. Diesel prices, oh hell, now it is give me another territory we getting it so bad. Diesel is cheaper to make for God's sake, cheaper than gas in almost every damn society on the planet. Yeah, screw the Straits.

Ruh-roh. No liquid helium. Cancer patients DIE. Half of the world's supply comes through the Strait. Who would have thunk it? Damn, that is so funny. It is De Ja Vue all over. The Hindenburg, never would have happened with ******* HELIUM. And fertilizer, ruh-roh, crop yields plummet, exports tank, we depend on that shit.

The dude is a damn idiot. Iran implements a toll, earns some scratch, controls the flow of vital goods. China gains more power. Russia gains more power. Even end it right now, the lag time is not going to look good for Trump. Saudi Arabia has already cut production, it takes weeks to get it back on-line.

Has trump told the "Boots on the Ground" what patriotic reason they'll be dying for?

To keep a vile Islamic Terrorist Regime from getting nukes and ramping up its terrorism activities to a nightmarish level.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

In what way? Is Iran a threat or not?

Iran was never a threat to a sane, strong, stable, independent America

 

[Votto]

I believe Bill O'Reilly!

Forget the US Intel Agencies that said:

1. Iran is not a threat to America, and
2. Iran has no plans to develop a nuclear weapon

Jared's Spidey sense was tingling, that's all Trump needed to hear

So, do you believe that Trump simply likes starting wars or that Israel controls him because Israel likes starting wars, or maybe both?

Try again.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I am really not sure what is going on here. There is a reason we have never attacked Iran in the past, and to do it now, they were just not thinking. I am honestly concerned, we are more vulnerable, today, than we were prior to WWII. And that is not all Trump's fault, it is his fault for not knowing the absolute deplorable conditions are military is in, and that is due to a generation of failure in Washington, not a single party.

I had no idea how bad it is. First, at this very moment we cannot defend air superiority in any two territories at the same time. I mean we just can't do it. Hell, Iran shoots down one E-3 and we all to shit. We have a shortage of those planes, they are old as shit, we can't defend two theaters. Especially against drones. And while detection is one thing, hell, we don't have the air-to-air missiles. I mean the air force barely has a 50% available to fly ratio, wtf?

Navy, what a damn shit show. Here again, two theaters, fuugat about it. Mine sweepers? What's that? Can we please call France? Subs so damn old I would be scared shitless onboard, I bet they moan and groan like an old roller coaster. And that is just it, like the Air Force, fleet as old as shit. But worse, we can't build them near fast enough. Sad.

And the Army. Flipping bullets. Yeah, damn bullets. Special bullets, for taking out drones. I mean have you seen what is going on in Ukraine? Damn drones chasing soldiers, scary shit. So, there is a special bullet, kind of like a shotgun blast in a rifle charge, little mini bullets breaking out. Highly effective. Oh well, we might start making them soon. WTF?

The MIC only cares about bottom line and NOT what’s in Americas best interests

What do we get for the $850 billion we spent on defense?

Hundreds of bases all over the world, most of which are either CIA stations or tripwires
A bloated Brass far in excess of actual need
An outdated WWII model fighting force
Plus a secret Space Program that can reduce energy costs to zero

Irans defense budget? 23 Billion

Make Peace, you fools!

Again we see the genius of our Founders that Congress and not Caligula with billions in financial interests from Irans enemies should declare war

 

[TheInfiniteSadness]

To keep a vile Islamic Terrorist Regime from getting nukes and ramping up its terrorism activities to a nightmarish level.

When did he say that? His first choice was that they were an "Immenent Threat. What threat?

Then it was Nuclear weapons, They have none.

Then it was enriched Uranium which is doubtful.

Well there hasn't been a nightmarish level of terrorist attacks in the world so that reason is meaningless.

Who do you think will win the Basketball game between the Marines and the U.S Navy?

 

[TimFitz]

He told you repeatedly that Iran was never to have a nuke.

I've even heard democrats say the same thing.

The only way to prevent that is war.

Now I know that the Left is full of people who insist that diplomacy could have worked, insisting that the Obama agreement with Iran was the way out of this. However, after the Obama administration infused Iran with billions of dollars in their little agreement, 10/7 happened because Iran funds terrorism via Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis.

Iran swore the destruction of the US and Israel upon their revolution and that has never changed, and will never change.

Wanting diplomacy with Iran is akin to wanting diplomacy with Nazi Germany.

Would most people here have preferred to let Iran have a WMD, wait for them to use it, and then respond?

People did not vote to start a war with Iran.

They were told about it in the middle of the night.
