Iran has been “weeks away” from nuclear capability for the past 30 years. You really shouldn’t believe all the BS this administration serves up.

Except that Clinton, Obama and Biden all said the threat was imminent as well.

Utter rubbish !!

Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden did not all characterize the threat from Iran as "imminent." While all three maintained that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran was a top priority, they primarily approached the issue as a long-term strategic challenge to be managed through diplomacy, economic sanctions, and deterrence

"While all three maintained that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran was a top priority,'...', Obama subsequently put Iran on a glidepath to a nuclear weapon in 2032 with the JCPOA.

Why does Iran have so much enriched uranium if not for weapons?

Do you think Iran should be allowed to further develop their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear program?

And it worked! But the current president doesn't do intel.

your earlier statement did not say quote "Obama subsequently put Iran on a glidepath to a nuclear weapon in 2032 with the JCPOA."

It obvious you where not good at chemistry or physics !

Medical Isotope Production: This material can be used in research reactors to drive the fission process required to manufacture Molybdenum-99. This is the parent isotope of Technetium-99m, which is essential for medical diagnostic imaging globally.

Iran was banned from buying this isotope Technetium-99m,which is used as a radioactive tracer and can be detected in the body by medical equipment (gamma cameras). It is well suited to the role, because it emits readily detectable gamma rays

And to produce this isotope you need 60% Enriched uranium

Now Iran has always maintained that is the reason and has publicly stated this in the UN and other papers but as you are aware people lie !!!

your third point Why not! nobody stopped NK and to be bullied by the US and Israel they need to to survive

as to the quantity 440 kilograms of uranium 235 would give 440,000 doses of Tcc 99 reason you need this amount is the half live of Tcc99 is 6hrs its no good after that

So, it is your position that Iran should be allowed to further develop their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear programs, thank you for your honesty.

If I believed as you do, I would have supported the JCPOA, because it allowed Iran to further develop their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear programs, largely unsupervised.

Yes, the JCPOA, was working, because as you know, it allowed Iran to further develop their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear programs, largely unsupervised.

This is incorrect JCPOA was used to supervise irans nuclear program inspections were carried out !!

The JCPOA did not impose direct or verifiable limits on Iran's development or testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or military drones. The 2015 nuclear agreement strictly focused on limiting Iran's nuclear program.

Here is how ballistic missiles and military drones relate to the agreement:

  • Military Drones (UAVs): The JCPOA itself contained no restrictions on drone production. However, Annex B of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2231—which endorsed the JCPOA—did include restrictions on the transfer of nuclear-capable UAVs. Those specific UN restrictions expired in October 2023.

  • Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs): Iran currently possesses the Middle East's largest ballistic missile arsenal, but it does not have a confirmed, fully operational ICBM. The JCPOA did not prohibit Iran from developing or testing these rockets. While UNSCR 2231 called upon Iran to refrain from developing ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear weapons, these clauses were not enforceable enough to halt the advancements in its military. These UN restrictions also expired in October 2023

  • The lack of limits on these weapons systems has remained a major point of international contention, leading to separate rounds of sanctions and military actions over Iran's regional missile proliferation and drone exports to Russia

So, as I said, the JCPOA did nothing to restrict Iran's development and production of intercontinental ballistic missiles and military drones.

And the JCPOA allowed Iran to continue their nuclear program, including enrichment, correct?

Yes, the JCPOA mandated inspections, but only in the areas Iran agreed to allow inspections, correct?

Yes the JCPOA was working until Netanyahu persuaded Trump to tear it up in 2018. Iran complied to the agreement not to enrich Uranium beyond 3.67% right up to the T.

US Intelligence agencies confirmed Iran does not possess nor deploy ICBM and nuclear development program.

Any more of your fact challenged malarkey?

Working to what?

As is public information, the JCPOA did nothing to restrict Iran's development and production of intercontinental ballistic missiles and military drones.

Yes, if by "working" you mean the JCPOA put Iran on a glidepath to a developing a deliverable nuclear warhead by 2032, then yes, it worked perfectly.

Quit deflecting, what have I said that you believe is nonsense?

  1. The JCPOA did nothing to restrict Iran's development and production of intercontinental ballistic missiles and military drones.

  2. The JCPOA allowed Iran to continue their nuclear program, including enrichment.

  3. The JCPOA mandated inspections, but only in the areas Iran agreed to allow inspections.

I went on to ask:

  1. Why does Iran have so much enriched uranium if not for weapons?

  2. Do you think Iran should be allowed to further develop their intercontinental ballistic missile, military drone, and nuclear program?

Yet you (and none of the other pro JCPOA crowd) cannot point out anything I have said that is false, nor can you answer simple questions.

All you can do is call names and run away. Weak.
