    Remember when Obama got Iran to give up refining nuclear material then Trump fucked it up horribly?

    Pepperidge farm remembers.

    Look, it’s the bi-annual “Iran is 6 months away from getting nukes” headline. I wonder which intelligence service came up with this (again).

    Also makes me thing of the movie ‘Wag the Dog.’

      Is it an Israeli line? I don’t doubt that Israel says it, but it seems to me like Iran developing nukes is a pretty rational response to America ditching the agreement. I certainly don’t like a government like Iran’s having those weapons, but it’s very understandable for it to want them and the country has the capacity to make it happen

        Yes it’s an Israeli line. (This was from like 20 years ago.)

          Got to love the iconography of a bomb from the 19th century.

          Doesn’t that turn of phrase imply that it’s untrue (or at least misrepresentative) though? It’s not meaningfully “an Israeli line” if it’s actually just true

        Broken clocks can still be right.

        https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-uranium-enrichment-germany-israel-c9b3669a7721bd8929d465117c81b70f

        Inspectors from the UN found enrichment activity was starting to exceed 84% where 90% is the target for bomb making. 60% is the level they are attempting to enforce.

        Also this is February 2023, so you’d suspect they’ve made more progress since then.

    good, Iran needs nukes. especially when a significant portion of the US government holds the opinion “we should nuke Iran”.

      I mean if you were the Iranian leader and a) saw what the US did to Iraq and Libya and b) saw the total impunity that Israel has in the West to conduct mass killings on civilians, wouldn’t you want a nuclear deterrent?

    Same as it ever was (ever meaning the past 2 years atleast).

    https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/detail/iranian-breakout-timeline-now-at-zero/

    It would still take months to build a detonator though.
