Nationalistic fervor when the country is attacked by an external enemy. Even if there is regime change, Iranians will never forget the unlawful attacks from Israel and US. They will be more reasons to have nukes. The attacks have made the situation worse not better.

He is strategizing not giving in. Carney is playing 3 dimensional chess with lightweight Trump. Carney has a phd in economics, governor of Bank of Canada and Bank of England and IMF adviser. Facing him is Trump with a phony degree whose bark is worse than his bite. Carney has now pressed Trump to a corner and pressed him to make a move. Meanwhile Canada is tying up trade agreements with EU and Asia away from their traditional trading partner USA. A lot of losing Dumpo.

Will be like North and South Korea armistice. Technically still at war but not a peace treaty. But don't see this happening under Putin. He has to go one way or the other for a truce in fighting.

The war has been a statemate. Probably the war will end in a stalemate with no formal ceasefire or peace agreement.

The road to authoritarianism is straight ahead.

You never read well. I didn;t say they enrich to 60% for the purpose of downblending. 60% cannot be use to make a useful nuclear bomb. What planet you on.

Neither is 60% enriched uranium weapon grade and could be down blended to 3-5%.

Nuclear reactor, nuclear plant …

Kind of condescending and disrespectful to call a world leader "daddy". He took it well or maybe he didn't know that he was slighted.

Trump has a history of speech and actions viewed as racist by scholars and public. From being sued by the Dept of Justice for housing discrimination against African-Americans renters, birther conspiracy, Central Park acuusation that it was African American to recent Charlottesville and campaign speeches on Mexico sending in murderers, drugs etc and tweeting about the 4 Dem Congresswomen of colour to "go back". The Election is passe. He is down -24 favourability in New York now.

Sadiq Khan was re-elected 3 terms. By worse, you mean he feuded with your dear leader?

What evidence do you have that Iran's wish to get nuclear weapons. Is your conclusion derived from Netanyahu's 33 years of rhetoric that Iran's nuclear nuke is imminent. I do not wish for Iran to get any nuclear weapons but all are the fears driven by Netanyahu are not backed up by evidence. US intelligence say that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.

You probably right about Alpha particles because they are relatively large and charged, causing them to interact strongly with matter and lose energy fast. Gamma radiation penetrates rock far better than alpha. Beta is between alpha and gamma in terms of rock penetration.

What I alluded to is that the bulk of the enriched uranium has been removed and not damaged which is reason no signs of radiation was detected. The damages of the sites may still have remants of small amount of uranium in the centrifuges that caused chemical release inside the affected facilities

These are 60% enriched uranium which can emit alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Natural uranium are radioactive and require careful handling. Even buried under ground, it can still emit radiation.

There were no reports indicating signs of off-site radiation or contamination in the wake of US bombings on the 3 nuclear sites. Does indicate that there were no uranium there. As for the destroyed centrifuges, Iran has demonstrated that they can build new sites with centrifuges within few months though more complex facilities might take longer. Iran has to be internationally monitored. The JCPOA between Iran and other world powers has to be brought back to prevent Iran development of nuclear weapons. It was a mistake that TRump withdraw from this agreement.

This design was make known to them by the Chinese. Whether they use this design, I admit I don't know until we get intel details.

They may developed the bomb to be effective in different condition but not tested. They will have to wait for the intel damage assessment and improve on the bombs.

UHPC and also the diamond shape of the design that can divert the missile entry trajectory away from the nuclear sites.

Shouldn't be in this cash strapped situation if he grifted of his father's presidency. Price you pay for being honest and not corrupt and son of a decent dad.

He had already approved the plan to bomb Iran before his "2 weeks" statement. The 2 weeks was a deception. His statement was on the 20th June and the bombing was on 22 June. To get the B-52 ready for war takes about 48 hours and not include the flight time.

Seem to indicate that the bomber was on its way to Iran when Trump make that infamous “ 2 weeks “ announcement. So it was all a ruse.

I hope and pray that the leaders of Israel and Iran will made their official announcement not state TVs. This from BBC. Neither country has confirmed the ceasefire - Iran says if Israel stops its attacks, Iran will also bring an end to its strikes; Israel is yet to comment

The ceasefire will be godsend for Iran. Tehran was reeling from the attacks and tried to save face with a military response but without provoking a cycle of escalation and even regime change it can't afford. It will buy time for Iran to re-group and bargain for sanction reliefs as a trade-off for denuclearization plan.

The ceasefire would not be possible without the involvement of Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed who negotatiated with Tehran for their part of the ceasefire agreement. Not all Trump as he tried to gaslight.
