The Iran Nuclear Program thread

I think he knows what success smells like and wants a piece of it.

Is this stuff on your news channels?
It's not on BBC or France 24 etc.

[jon-nyc]

It finds its way there eventually

@jon-nyc said in The Iran Nuclear Program thread:

America first means that we have to be the first into Tehran!

One thing I don’t get.. I would have expected an uprising inside of Iran. I mean, first we’ve seen just how successful the Mossad has been at intelligence gathering. We’ve also seen a lot more resistance by the populace over the last few years. I would have expected an internal uprising by this point, perhaps directed by Israeli agents in. The country.

There's no internet, the city is getting bombed and Trump warned everyone to evacuate. It's hard to agitate under those conditions.

People rise up when the either the price of food is so high or so scarce they can’t feed their children. So far Iranian children and their parents and grandparents, particularly in cities, have not been going hungry.

I just don’t think we will enter the fray. The only thing we can add is the MOPs and there’s no guarantee they can put Fordo out of business, plus it would spread radiation over the region. If that facility is to be shut down it will have to be by cutting off their power supply, destroying the tunnel access and possibly in combination with a ground assault.

And don’t forget, every day is Taco Tuesday. If our ordinance failed it would destroy his presidency. I don’t believe he would risk that.

Our biggest threat here is overreach based on the Israeli successes. The mullahs have had their world rocked. At the very least their adventurism will be greatly chastened even if the regime manages to stay in power. We especially need to stay out of the regime change business. It’s what got us 45 years of Iran as we know it.

[jon-nyc]

Stop selling. I’m already supportive of US involvement.

[jon-nyc]

This is in Tel Aviv today.

[Mik]

Last night I said If our ordinance failed it would destroy his presidency. Upon reflection I think if we were successful, the resulting radiation spewed would do that same thing. We cannot win here by getting involved. .

[AndyD]

I sincerely hope someone takes out the threat of a nuclear ballistic missile capable Iran.
We've already got N Korea, that's more than enough.

Just give Israel a few of those bunker buster bombs if you ain't going to step up.

[jon-nyc]

We gave them the 5,000 lb version. But that won't do the job. The MOP will, but it weighs as much as a cement mixer. Only the B2 can deliver it. Only the US operates the B2.
