This has no boots on the ground and no regime change calls.... entirely different then Iraq or Afghanistan
Plus ummm even the IAEA has said Iran was violating what they claimed since early 2000s
This just started. Your party had a lot of support because Trump didn't get us into any new wars. That support was just lost, to a great extent.
Americans are sick of this shit and it's not going to end well for your warmongering comrades.

Do you really want to compare the scope of American acts against Iran with their actions against America? You need to stop drinking the Kool Aid
Edit: Also, no one but Republican sycophants give a shit about what Reagan did 40 years ago. We are sick of the wars that people like you keep dragging us into.
reply
Sounds like you are the one drinking the Kool Aid...
Trump is calling for peace and is calling for it right now. Iran will you pick up the phone? No they wont because they want the US to impose its will on Israel which contradicts what you said about playing world police and forcing people to act one way or another. Israel can do its own stuff and so can the US its call independence
reply
Calling for peace after bombing someone. Ok, good luck with that.
Have fun siding with Lindsey Graham and the other lunatics. The people who keep being right about these conflicts will be right again this time. I'm happy to stand by that. @remindme in 1 year. We'll see who was drunk on Kool Aid.

Did Iran overthrow our government leaving us under a brutal dictator for decades? How about actual strikes against our homeland?
reply
Omg are you seriously comparing the Shah to the current Regime? The Regime that hangs people and beats to death people who dont dress as they approve? Are you going to say that they were in the right to attack Americans in other countries outside of Iran? Lets never forget what they also did to our embassy. No one does that type of stuff. Not even Russia and Ukraine. No one chants death to anyone expect for Iran.
You are comparing idk know what cause apples to oranges seems to be a dramatic understatement.
That is some pretty sick shit to say over 1000 Americans deserved to die that didnt touch a single toe into Iran.
Your response.... is so apologetic of a regime that itself has tried to over throw countries across the Middle East. We dont need Iran apologists

The IAEA found uranium enriched to 83% in 2023: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/01/middleeast/iran-uranium-enrichment-iaea-intl/index.html
Iran is clearly attempting to build nuclear weapons. There aren't civilian applications for uranium enriched beyond 20%. As it is, Iran has openly admitted to the IAEA that they're enriching to 60%.
reply
Yes, they've been open about enriching uranium for energy and medical purposes. That's not justification for anything.
By my understanding, they were complying with inspections while the Iran Deal was in place and have always been open to resuming those.
Stop falling for every dumb piece of war propaganda.
reply
Neither medical nor energy purposes need 60% enriched uranium. Certainly not 83%
Stop falling for dumb Iranian propaganda.
reply
Naval reactors do use that level of enrichment, unlike nuclear weapons.

reply
The reference I found said at least 50%, but I'm certainly no expert on this.
Is that number universal or are there models that use higher levels?
reply
I can double check at work tomorrow because yes they use highly enriched but they also have next to nothing amount wise as a result....
The AUKUS submarines that the US is going to export to Australia is supposed to be at 93-97% HOWEVER we dont actually have anything that functions with levels that high at the moment. We do not have the materials science to handle that. It is only going to have a spoonful of fuel.... which I mean is great and all but again goes to show that we are expecting this technology to make some huge strides.
There is a reason SMRs on land are not mainstream and out and about because its hard to build and maintain.
reply
Since we were talking about the range of enrichment roughly between 60% and 85% (weapons grade), I tried to look into what uses it has and the only one I saw was nuclear subs.
Iran doesn't have nuclear powered submarines and isn't building any; it would be perfectly reasonable to ensure they don't get any even if they tried.
reply
Your view of what's reasonable is very different from mine. Mine doesn't involve trying to police the actions of everyone on Earth.
