My question was to another poster in response to their comment, and was specifically asking if they thought it was acceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons; it was not about any other, or certain countries.

Not sure if you are just being a contrarian, or if you have simply not followed events in the middle east for the last 30 years or more; so just a little edification. Iran have been threatening to wipe Israel from the face of the earth for many years. These threats were made repeatedly by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad between 2005 and 2013 when he was President of Iran, and have just been repeated by General Ebrahim Jabbari, who has said "Operation True Promise 3 will be carried out. (True promises 1 & 2 were April 2024 & October 2024 respectively)

 

In April 2024 Iran launched, in an unprovoked attack, 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles, indiscriminately at Israeli territory; then on 1st October 2024 Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli territory, again indiscriminately, not targeting military installations. 

 

I wonder if you can guess what might happen to Israel if Iran acquired nuclear weapons, which you seem to be advocating; I guess it's because  you are an antisemite and a Hamas apologist, so the obvious eventuality would probably not bother you one jot.

 

There has been no verification that Israel has nuclear weapons, although I think it more likely than not.

And Trump is a sociopath regardless of where you live. Do not expect him to honor the UK any more than Greenland. He is going to betray you to Putin in the end and the global economy is being trashed, not just the US. Between the corruption and the incompetence this is not going to end well for anyone but Putin.

does Israel have nuclear weapons?

 

AI Overview

Yes, it is widely believed that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, although the Israeli government maintains a policy of "nuclear ambiguity" and neither confirms nor denies having such weapons. Estimates suggest Israel has a nuclear stockpile of approximately 90 warheads. While not a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Israel is considered to have developed a nuclear arsenal capable of delivery by missiles, aircraft, and possibly submarines. 

 

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9075/#:~:text=capabilities is difficult.-,Capabilities,House of Commons Library website.

 

Capabilities 
Israel is estimated to have a nuclear stockpile of approximately 90 warheads; while production of plutonium for weapons purposes is thought to be continuing.

On the basis of unconfirmed reports, Israel could be in possession of the nuclear triad for delivery of its nuclear capability. 

This short paper is intended as an introduction to Israel’s nuclear weapons policies and programmes, as far as is known from publicly available sources. It is part of a series of country profiles which are available on the House of Commons Library website.

 

Perhaps Iran needs to defend itself from Israel and the USA.

 

U have no doubt that the Trump supporters on here will deny that, but which is the only country in the world which has actually dropped nuclear weapons during a war?

 

If the USA wants the region nuclear free, let him start with Israel, and remove ALL their nuclear weapons and capabilities. At this time Israel is the biggest threat to the region and the world.

It is ok for Israel to possess nuclear weapons for the same reason it is ok for the UK, France and USA to possess them. We know that Israel like the western nations will behave in a responsible manner. We also know that israel does not view death as a positive. There is no culture of martyrdom . The Islamic Republic of Iran  has already stated that it martyrdom is a positive, that death in the pursuit of jihad is  positive  event. This is why Iran cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons.

The USA is not bullying anyone. it is attempting to prevent the unnecessary loss of life. Iran's mullahs have previously threatened to attack other countries. As a reminder, Iran attempted to  murder President Trump several times.

Not threatening anyone. Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. They are acting to protect themselves against the world's principal supporter of terrorism. As a reminder, Iran sent its Republican Guards and proxy army  Hezbollah to prop up Assad's horrible regime. The end result was 600,000 war dead, and 14 million+ refugees Iran has supported Yemen's Houthis in its overthrow of the legitimate government of Yemen and the subsequent war with the KSA. The result has been 400,000 dead, 4.5 million refugees and a nation in the grips of  famine.

They are warning Iran  that there will be consequences of building nuclear weapons. Iran has already  attacked first through its proxy armies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis etc.

According to the IAEA  Iran is in full compliance  it does not posses nuclear weapons at the moment  but could do in a short time    however that would be very difficult to achieve without throwing out the IAEA inspectors first...so when they throw out the inspectors  is time to worry  and Israel and US have a few weeks to launch their own low yield nuclear first strike against Iran's enrichment facilities...and then.......??????

 

Really? Please provide a reference to "full compliance", because the report says different.   The IAEA last  report  states that it has not visited some Iranian nuclear reactors in 4 years. The report goes into details on the lack of compliance and details multiple concerns that indicate the opposite of what you claim. How can you say that the IAEA has said there is full compliance when the report says the exact opposite?    https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/24/11/gov2024-61.pdf

 

Page 4: C.1. Verification and monitoring of Iran’s nuclear-related commitments - Other Reactors Unavailable (unverified)  since February 2021

 

Page 8:  Since 16 February 2021, the Agency has not been able to verify Iran’s total enriched uranium stockpile precisely on any given day, needing to rely instead on a small proportion of the total being based on Iran’s estimates.

 

Page 10: Iran’s decision to remove all of the Agency’s equipment previously installed in Iran for JCPOA-related surveillance and monitoring activities has also had detrimental implications for the Agency’s ability to provide assurance of the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme.

 It has also been more than three and a half years since Iran stopped provisionally applying its Additional Protocol. Therefore, throughout this period, Iran has not provided updated declarations and the Agency has not been able to conduct complementary access to any sites and other locations in Iran. The production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear weapon State to do so, adds to the Agency’s concerns. 

 

Your comment about throwing out inspectors is laughable, since  many have already  been forced to leave and none  have been inspecting for months. Whenever an inspector finds something, Iran bans the inspector blocking follow up an dfurther investigation.

If I would not know, that the Americans are really strongly against being led by some old and deranged guy with dementia, I would think we have a blooming case of it right in front of our eyes?!

 

But if it is not dementia, maybe it is collective daddy issues of the US electorate -- you know, they secretly long for the weird smelly uncle getting much too touchy-feely when drunk during a family BBQ, telling all his wisdoms about taxes, foreigners and all the other bad influences around.

Trump has proven now many times that he is a dog that barks but has no bite (and even in this case wants others to fight and do the dirty work for him -- the face of Netanyahu looked like he was sucking on a lemon during the Oval Office interview).

 

This alone will prevent the others attacking prematurely... and the US will implode under the weight of his dumbness all by itself, just give it a little time.

 

I privately think that China is actually increasing its military with a plan, but it is not Taiwan: I would guess the true direction of their expansion will be Siberia with all its natural resources. So they just need to kick the ball along for a little while more, confusing everybody with their anti-Taiwan rethoric. But I think they plan already the next step ahead: after they have gotten the ressources they need for true industrial expansion from Siberia and the USA has neutered itself, Taiwan will not even need to be invaded, as they will be standing alone and naked in the rain.

 

Not a happy scenario at all, but American idiocy has made a fairly stable world with three superpowers keeping each other in check nearly impossible, so we will see a hard reset to a different stable situation, with the USA having taken themselves out of the game and Russia havign proven to the world that they are not being able to usurp more than a few farmers villages per month.

To those here who call the US a bully and sympathise with the mad mullahs with their nuclear war bunkers, ask yourselves: If Iran manages to produce nuclear weapons, would they use them? If they use them, what will happen to mankind? You are a part of mankind, remember. Maybe it's better to prevent the mad mullahs from producing nuclear weapons.

Iran will be able to make few nukes compared to the west. If Iran used them, there would be little left of Iran, and most of the West will be untouched.

The mullahs may be unpleasant people, but they are not mad.

 

Seems Trump is not the only western person that loses their common sense when it comes to the  M E.

 

PS, even if they used a dirty bomb in a western city, the origin can, I believe, be ascertained by the scientists, and if from Iran see my first sentence.

 

Let's not forget that Iran isn't the only non western country to have nukes.
