US, UK, France and Germany condemns Iran's increasing nuclear enrichment production.
Israel will be along shortly to fix it .
and iran will just rebuild it more.
iran will be a nuclear state, whatever israel does.
and as much as i have contempt for it's regime, it's no worse then any of the other nuclear states and will be a way to keep israel in check which is needed.
Iran has more moral authority than the United States, Russia, China, France, Israel, India & Pakistan.
Bombs are cheaper,
Iran is a Terrorist State let them have nuclear weapons and you will see nothing but death ,
Well said those self righteous nuclear states of the West should have a long hard look at themselves before judging other countries.
It's significantly worse than most of the other Nuclear States.
The US has deep problems but it's still better than Iran and to be trusted far more with such power. Frankly same is true of China. Etc etc.
so is israel and NK.
russia and the US and UK have been involved in terrorism both directly and by proxy and by funding.
none of them have used nuclear weapons, iran will be no different.
the regime of iran are certainly dregs, but i would disagree that china could be trusted more then them in terms of both power and nuclear weapons.
china is an aweful regime as well and i wouldn't trust them as far as i could throw them.
i don't believe however that both of them would use nuclear weapons.
threaten them perhapse, possibly definitely actually.
Iran is a Terrorist state, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Yemen have all suffered from their Version of the revolution ,
How long before they supply a Terrorist organisation with a nuclear weapon then what,
What's the plan then....
Keeping the Israelis in check , Israel isn't trying to take over the middle east,they just want their own security
We need a nuclear armed Islamic state to keep Israel, a western democratic state, in check! I suppose having Putin menacing the east will keep the EU honest.
israel is trying to take over as much territory as it can absolutely.
whether it is the whole middle east or not who knows but the only way to guarantee their security is to get back within their borders as set out in 1948.
israel is neither western, democratic, or a western democratic state.
it gives a feeling of being both western and democratic but in reality it's just the same as it's neighbours.
it's also a terrorist, genocidal state.
ultimately as much as i believe nuclear weapons are a technology of a bygone era, not only is it the case that if some states can have them then so should iran, but iran, never actually going to use them, will provide some counterbalance to israel which is needed to keep israel in check.
the EU is generally mostly honest and doesn't need a counterbalance, and even if it did, russia would be the last country who could provide it.
Not true at all
Iran was pissed at hamas for what they done as it resulted in the us freezing the 6 billion it had unfrozen in the prisoner swap.
Shame there isn't some sort of nuclear deal to keep them happy.
Ah yea nuclear armed Islamic fundamentalists armed with nuclear weapons, sure what can possibly go wrong 😑
Explain how???
Those borders did diddly squat.
Can't be any worse than the apartheid state of Israel and the genocide cheering US who are the only country crazy enough to have actually used nukes against a civilian population.
Quite something to paint Japan as a victim of the Pacific war. A war they started and some estimates say Japan killed as many as 30 million civilians.
Given the rhetoric coming from certain politicians and leaders i would guess it is highly probable they have made a nuke by now. Israel has not tested or declared they have them so no need for Iran to.
Have a look at Satanyahoo addressing the UN a while ago, holding up a map of the new Israel.
The US has supplied arms to terrorists around the world for decades but haven't handed out nukes so far, no reason to think Iran will.
Usually terrorists aren't able to maintain or use complex weapons, as they don't have the resources or infrastructure.
But that was the past. It's a new era now. With countries giving out low tech drones like smarties, terrorists are using them, and now have a simple delivery system for all sorts of payloads.
These countries have no issues with using all sorts of weapons on each other and have done so. For example Iran-Iraq war.
Much of the unrest in the region is from these countries fighting a proxy war against Israel using such groups. You'd be naive to think they won't let it escalate. Even in this war they took advantage and tried to escalate the conflict on other borders and continue to do so.

What possessed you to type that? Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen & Iraq are all still active conflict zones with nothing to do with Israel.
Unrest involving Israel.
Though its true to say that they try to destabilise each other using the same methods.
Weird thing is that Iran is a material ally of Russia, selling the latter weapons for use against civilians in Ukraine. How anyone thinks the mullahs of Iran are anything other than pure evil terrorist scum is beyond me.
Iran are not only allies with Russia, but also of China, Venezuela, North Korea etc.
Sorry but this post is tripe.
The USA **has** used nuclear weapons.
There's long been a reasonably credible theory that Israel tested their bomb with South African assistance in 1979. Apartheid states sticking together. The Vela incident and the circumstances surrounding it are very interesting.
Current thinking is that Israel has about 300 warheads (estimates vary from 80-400). Which puts it in a par with France or UK. It's also very likely that Israel operates a nuclear triad, with missiles in the Negev, some air launched available to the Air Force and tube launched Cruise missiles in the Med in their subs.
Iran is widely believed to have enough fissile material on hand for 3 warheads in the immediate term and has production capacity for more.
The continuing Israeli action and aggression in the ME could well be part of a strategy to force an Iranian reaction. If Iran trips that line? Israel and indeed the US will both strike IMO. It gives the US an immediate excuse to deal with and blunt Iran in the medium term. Allowing it more time and resources to focus on China. It gives Nethanyahu a war that will keep his government in place longer and keep the awkward questions about Egyptian warnings & IDF intel pre 7/10 at bay a while longer.
I don’t know what’s more disturbing about some posts in this thread
that some people in this country hunger for end of days Armageddon style genocide of Israel (which includes Arabs and Jews as citizens) or that there are those who think Islamic fundametalists who want a revolution where they become top dogs and everyone else slaves as something worthy of cheering for
