spidermike007, who started a thread titled "Maybe it is OK for Iran to have a nuke" on 2 May 2026.In the opening post, he explicitly argued:

“What seems to be getting lost in the fog of war is the fact that it might be okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. After all Israel has many... It would also serve as a deterrent to Israel's destructive ambitions in the region.”

Other users in the same thread agreed with the general idea!

What seems to be getting lost in the fog of war is the fact that it might be okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. After all Israel has many, and they are the new terrorist nation in the Middle East. North Korea has several as well as several other nations. It would also serve as a deterrent to Israel's destructive ambitions in the region.

Before you shoot off back down your rabbit hole, what does "Maybe"mean in "Maybe it is OK for Iran to have a nuke"?

Nobody, that's NOBODY has said Iran SHOULD have nukes.

Cool your exclamatory and fallacious jets.

To be clear, you do not believe Iran should be allowed to continue developing their nuclear program, correct?

Correct. Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

Iran should not be allowed to develop offensive weapons including ICBM and drones.

Is there anything else I can help you understand tonight?

Sure. Why does Iran have so much highly enriched uranium, if not for a bomb?

And if Iran does not want a bomb, why not give up the highly enriched uranium?

My "god" is bigger better and badder than your "god"....so lets all kill each other for centuries over our insane beliefs that"our" religion is "best". Humans are brainwashed from birth to believe whatever religion rules their place of birth. Never occurs to them that they are totally brainwashed. Born in Iraq? Muslim. Born in India? Hindu. Born in Italy? Catholic. Born in USA? Evangelical. Thailand? Buddhist. Take the exact same person and have them grow up in a different country and they will believe what they are told to believe. So much for independent thinking.

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that where you are born and raised is the "religion" that you will adopt. Has little to nothing to do with actually using your brain to examine exactly what you are being told from birth is the "true" religion.

Praise jesus, allah, invisible guy in the sky and pass the ammunition.

Two easy questions with one obvious answer.

There's a difference between what you and I both believe and agree that Iran should not have, and what the IRGC and the Mullahs believe Iran should have.

Why are you asking me?

I was asking you, because it seems some people believe Iran does not want the bomb, but you agree they do, correct?

russia and n korea are itching to sell them long range weapons,theyre all the axis of evil anti democracy

I don't know what Iran wants. How can I? I'm not Iranian, nor can I read minds. It seems to me the IRGC wants "the bomb".

What are you struggling with here? The obvious fact that Iran shouldn't have nuclear capability nor delivery systems has been asked and answered already.

if they had a nuke and used it against anyone, then IMHO Iran would cease to exit as a populated land for many years. they had agreed over a decade ago to cease trying to develop nuclear weapons.

The issue is if they had a nuke they could threaten countries with it.

You may be correct if they actually used it, it would be bye bye Iran, but that could bring in WW3.
