"This morning the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed, I regret to say, that Iran had broken seals at nuclear facilities including its uranium enrichment facility at Natanz with a view to resuming research and development, including the introduction of uranium hexafluoride into the centrifuges," said Mr. Straw. "This is enrichment. This is a profound concern."

You guys here about this? Well I for one think that it is time to get the UN off there ass and do something about this. Knowing the UNs record though I don't feel too secure...

[Farnan]

Use Mosaud to locate the exact location, and all the intelligence possible about it, and then order a tactical strike using a Task Force, that would be parachuted into Iran, made up of SAS and Delta Force Operatives to destroy the plant, and a detachment of the 82nd Airborne and 75th Ranger to build a temporary run-way and guard the Evac route for the SF guys and then use C-140s to evac the team.

Sounds a little agressive... but what the hell? Lets do it.


Better yet lets use an airstrike like the isrealis did with Iraq some time ago.

[Farnan]

Hey, we got to stop them from getting the Nuke, and this causes a lot less diplomatic trouble than an invasion.

I think the plant is buried underground to prevent an air strike from destroying it.

Iran has a right to enrich uranium for peacefull purposes.
They should just let them do it but have inspectors make sure Iran isn't making nuclear weapons.

Sadly this won't happen because US/Britain has already denied Iran it's right to nuclear power and therefore Iran has now the right to make nuclear weapons too.
I just hope they won't try to drag other countries into war again.

But I wonder what "nuclear enrichment related activities" are, exactly.

[RZZZA]

Hmm...religious fanatics...with nuclear capabilities. Not....kosher. TOTALLY....not...Kosher.

Israel is made up of religious fanatics too, and they already have nukes.

Isn't Iran one of the most oil rich countries In the world? If so then why do they need nuclear power, hint: they dont. When there foreign policy calls for the destruction of the US and Isreal exactly how long do you beleive their program will stay peaceful? The reactor they developed is a "dual use reactor", most reactors developed for civilian use would be more efficient for the purpose of generating electricity but they are less able to generate weapons grade material.

Hint: Do your homework before you make speculations like that.
Iran has a huge electricity shortage.
They can't afford generating all their electricity with oil.
Nuclear power is much cheaper.

Where did you hear that piece of propaganda?
There isn't anything strange about Iran's nuclear programme.

[MasterCommander]

time to bring in the green berets

[Removed_user_012521]

I say we go through the UN and when they back out we invade and wage a total war the likes of which haven't been seen since WW2. Then The world will know the definition of collateral damage... And the price of defying to US....

So it's cheaper to build a nuclear industry from the ground up instead of a few oil burning power plants? BULL Not to mention the possible economic sanctions they face from the governments like the EU and USA, and organizations like NATO and the UN.

Maybe it was their president calling for Isreal to be wiped off the map, or the old classic protest of "america is the great satan".

Nothing strange about the Iranian program?
There using an old soviet design to build/rebuild the reactor started by the sha. The problem is this reactor is capable of producing large amounts of Uranium. I have to conceide the Iranians options of nuclear tech are limited, as no one but the russians and the chinese will sell to them.

I must agree. With the middle east such a great scoucre of oil, why would the Iranians want to not only biuld, but also develope from the ground up, a nuclear power system? Clearly this is just a cover story.

[SomeJedi]

We should just bomb them. Talks is for lovers. And even then, you can bomb your lover if you want to. You can bomb anything.

[Farnan]

umm, there are inspectors in Iran monitoring their plant, and they have informed us that the Iranians are not doing what they are supposed to do.

[RZZZA]

Are you comparing the jewish faith to the muslim faith? Cuz I'll tell you right now, Islam endorses violence as being the path to God, not Judaism. Plus theres a whole buncha other stuff thats wrong with what you said. Israel is not Iran. Iran is Iran. Lets not forget that.

[Richard the Lionheart]

Cut the crap please. This is totally unrelated to the original topic of discussion. And religion bashing is not appropriate anyways. And if you ask me, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all the same thing in my opinion.

Iran has every right to nuclear technologies for energy purposes. Leading to nuclear weapons in the hands of fanatics is possible, but what better will the USA do with their nuclear warheads? No matter who has it all it does it blow up a bunch of civilians. And if they did make nuclear weapons, the US would go into Iran, bomb the hell out of them, make a lot of enemies, and the situation would be fixed... somewhat. Like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Unless they had a very strong economy with a powerful military them having nukes is nothing. A nation like North Korea would cause trouble, because their targets would be a few miles away with almost no chance of interception.
The UN can do what it wants, which is usually the right thing, but the Iranians are not a bunch of religious fanatics in general. Bringing such energy sources to Iran will help modernize it in many ways, and with better quality of life comes less terrorists. If they stay without electricity in most areas, on the verge of war, with famine and no government aid, more people will turn to violence. The reason the US doesn't have so many terrorists is because most people have a house, a good income and a fair quality of life. They don't have as much reason to blow things up. If you were poor, not allowed to bring new technologies into use, couldn't get a job, then aren't you more likely to want to turn to spiritual things that can't be taken away and possibly become extreme in your actions the longer you stay poor? I think so, at least.
I know that there are many bad ideas and reactions toward Islam, but everyone must realize the truth and that just because they are Muslim they are no more likely to turn to terrorism. It just happens that the places with little freedom, high percentages of poor people, and established terrorist groups are mostly Muslim areas. Its not their religion, its the way that they may be taught or influenced by the established terrorists. In general since they don't have political power and hardly a voice in international politics, they takes things physically so they are heard.
If the Iranians aren't doing what they are supposed to, then the UN must make the nation get rid of its Nuclear technologies. If they aren't then fix the problem without bombing them and killing civilians. If they are doing right, then good. They deserve a chance, so long as they don't abuse it.

Oh yeah, if your nation nukes the hell out of Islam, then get ready for WWIII, cause your out of the UN, and everyone is ****** off with guns to you. the UN has more sense than some people think. Unlike many people I have talked to on these forums believe, Islamic people aren't all terrorists, nor most of them. The ones that sniper the American soldiers in Iraq are freedom fighters. They were invaded, they do what they see is right. What would you do to their soldiers if they invaded you? The ones that bomb civilians and send planes crashing into towers when their nation isn't at war are the terrorists. There is a line, but some people fail to see it.

Iran has never agreed to do what "the inspectors" want them to do.
They agreed to not make nuclear weapons in exchange of a right to peacefull nuclear technology.

Are you comparing the jewish faith to the muslim faith?

No, I'm comparing Israel to Iran, both their governments are made up of religous fanatics.

And to make such a comparison is completely idiotic. What planet do you live on then if you can compare the Israeli goverment to being 'religious fanatics' like Iran? Are Rabbis running the Israeli goverment now?
