nuke reactors need enriched uranium too... weapon-grade is ultra-enriched... the whole idea back in the day was for Iran to stop spinning centrifuges and import reactor-level enriched uranium instead, which is something the US could monitor.
I stand corrected - France did agree. Russia only agreed because they would be the beneficiary of the low level enriched uranium in Tehran's possession.
Like ElNono says, U.S. news outlets cannot be trusted to stay on top of everything if he says this was common knowledge in his country.
Which they refused to pen down in writing? That's still the point that doesn't make sense.
I guess one has to provide grade-school drawings to get the point across.
If you go to some big news sites (I know the NY Times has this), they have a "US edition" and a "World edition"... just toggling between them you can see there's a huge discrepancy on what's reported.
I don't know if you can attribute all that to "intentional bias"... I just think some of that is that the US reader is simply more concerned with generally local news.
I was unaware of that toggling choice. Noted.![]()
One thng I did notice is a lot of news clips and interviews are conveniently blacked out in the US with note of "this content is geographically unavailable by the author"
Bull . When this happens just go to YouTube and search for the clip or interview.
Jesus you are stupid.
Now you're going to try and convince me that they are?
I can't help it if you don't know how to interpret meaning from words. Obviously I was referring to LEU.
Yeah... you referred to it by calling it something else entirely.
What's the fuss? The Iranians have vowed to use any such material for peaceful purposes.
That they have been 5 years from a bomb for 20 years?
One point remains... Why would the administration balk at the suggestion of penning down the arrangement in writing? The only plausible reason in my mind is that they managed to convince France to fulfill that function BEFORE having the need to go back to Argentina with the requested written arrangement. At which point common courtesy should have compelled our guys to inform Argentina that the arrangement was no longer required (instead of leaving Argentina in the dark, left to fill the information void with unneeded speculation, i.e. "and we never heard back from them again" - a scenario which lead to Kirchner's accusations - completely preventable).
I think Israel's opposition to any such deal would be one reason, especially in light of upcoming presidential elections in the US, tbh...
Kirchner's has a political bone to pick too, though, with the "vulture funds", which are basically a well connected bunch of hedge funds (******, Adelson, etc) that has huge influence on US foreign policy when it comes to economics.
Actually Bibby Netanyahu said 2 years ago Iran was 1 year away![]()
So everyone on this thread agrees that Iran has no intention of making a nuclear weapon?
So sanctions levied against Iran exist because... they are fun to pick on? Because the Israelis are fully paranoid and Iran presents no threat?
Or what? Besides the OP has completely whiffed.
Israel has 200 nukes, US has tens of thousands. Even if Iran gets a few nukes, they would be turned to dust if they were to attack.
You have been played for a fool if you believe the bull rhetoric about the Iranian boogeymen.
All it takes is one. No other nuclear weapons have been used over human populations since Nagasaki... that is one historical fact ALL humanity should strive to maintain the same.
Who would Iran use a nuke on?
Lol no it doesn't. This is bull fear mongering.
So there is no concern on this board if Iran obtains nuclear capability?
That is not the concern. The concern is a nuclear device in the hands of a group who has nothing to lose and everything to gain by martyrdom or whatever the flavor of the period happens to McVeighbe. But this is an unrealistic fear? This is the fear of a world of fools including Russia, China and India?
