Yeah, my understanding is that there is no evidence Iran is currently developing nuclear weapons. They are developing peaceful nuclear energy in compliance with the NPT, so I don't really understand what the big deal is.Originally posted by: Lemon law
While Iran does has a nuclear program, its stated purpose is the peacetime use for electrical power generation.
There is zero proof the Iran wants nuclear weapons and the go or no go point for Iranian nukes is still years into the future.
Because Iran has approval from the IAEA, their program is and remains UN approved.
And unlike Syria or Iraq, Iran has many deeply buried nuclear facilities, making any Israeli attack very difficult if not impossible unless Israel is willing to use nukes.
But if Israel attacks anyway, the US and Obama will have no choice but to cut off all foreign aid to Israel, while Israel would face an international trade embargo that would collapse its own economy.
They've had a nuclear weapons program in the past so I can understand people being skeptical, but my understanding is that in recent years they have been pretty cooperative with IAEA inspectors and there's nothing to suggest that they are currently pursuing nuclear weapons.
