Iran said willing to attack U.S. soil

jeff744 jeff744:

Actually, I did answer, up to 50% can be used in a nuclear reactor (generally naval reactors), up to 30% is more common though (Fermi 1 used ~26%). Now you explain why no evidence has yet been found proving Iran has a nuclear program.

quote me your source for that please.

On second thought, it isnt needed. A nuclear sub is an offensive weapon,
something the Iranians say they dont want, so how could they develop it ?

Jeff, wake up a bit.

A CIVILIAN nuclear power plant uses uranium enriched to between

3

to

5

%

not 20, not 30, not 50............................... maximum 5 %

so, now...

you can explain to me why the Iranians continue to enrich uranium
when they obviously dont need to.

ahhh the moronic personal attack.. sign you are just about done here.

Medical Isotopes ROTFL

obviously you have never been outside Canada.
Go to an Iranian hospital, see how well stocked they are to fight the flu,
never mind isotopes.. rich countries only.

A research reactor... but the Iranian government, who according to you is
incapable of lying, says they want CIVILIAN power only.
Never heard them talk about research reactors.

You are using speculation and some wiki bullshit to try and defend what
you cannot defend:

For an NPP, Iran doesnt need to enrich uranium beyond a maximum of 5%

Even you, the parrot for the Iranian mullahs, admit they have gone higher.

Why ?

Never mind all the resolutions and twisting regarding inspections,
disclosures, and the rest of it, all documented by the IAEA.

There is only one reason for enrichment beyond 5%.

Iranian officials said the country began in 2010 processing low enriched uranium to a 20 percent purity level as it needed to secure fuel for its research reactor, which produces medical isotopes for cancer patients. Enriched uranium can fuel a reactor or, enriched to higher degrees, form the core of a bomb.

it also looks really damned good for the the very pro-nuclear Iranian people when suddenly your government officially becomes able to produce HEU.

Oh, and BTW, Iran already has a research Reactor. Oh, and another part about it? Medical Isotopes.

oh yes, good for bombs too.

oh I see the Iranians are coming out with new developments in nuclear physics
every month now. :roll:

And they are going to use 7200 centrifuges for isotopes.....

Only you could believe that.

The bigger problem is that the US and Israel probably haven't learned a thing since 2003. They'll combine their false intelligence, their own internal politics, and take the Iranian propaganda at face value. All in all it'll eventually result in a repeat of the Iraq invasion, another total bollocks that in hindsight will be seen as completely unjustifiable. "WMD's! OMG! OMG! OMG!" will rapidly turn "sandpaper to attract all the terrorist to the one location" and then into "nation building" and "giving democracy a chance to thrive". I can hardly believe that the odds are no less than 50-50 that we're going to see the same slo-mo disaster that happened in Iraq unfold again in Iran with the only difference being that it occurred a decade apart. Dick Cheney legacy with the "1% chance" nonsense he left behind him is going to haunt US foreign policy for the next thirty years like an uncurable case of herpes.

martin14 martin14:

you dont know what enrichment is, or what it is used for....

Make the specific uranium isotope more concentrated by removing less wanted ones. I also know that unless you want a shitty bomb that probably won't work you better get around 80% enrichment, Iran is at 20% (just barely HEU) while up to about 50% is entirely acceptable for peaceful purposes.

You have yet to prove they want bombs despite my repeated requests for it.

jeff744 jeff744:

Jeff, you said it yourself, Iran is a peaceful nation. Why would Iran need to have the Sajjil-2 missile that has a range of 2400 km's? US carrier battle groups operate well within that range

Just recently Iran test fired a long range missile, why?

Why is Iran enriching uranium beyond 10 %? It's not economical to do so. Unless of course it's not for civilian purposes, like you claim.

Canada, which has a peaceful nuclear program doesn't have any enrichment facilities. Our uranium is a high grade and doesn't need to be enriched... Why can't Iran do the same? The offer has been put out there.

Who's going to give them the money to pay for it?

They'll find the money somewhere. Probably take it out of infrastructure or education or public health of some other Rooseveltian Communist sorta things.

BRAH BRAH:

Iran's ruling Mullahs care more about survival than anything else and know they would be wiped off the face of the Earth so these threats of possible attacks will never happen..

Many of the clerics and their lackeys running the place, are the types of fanatics who think,'If I'm going down, I'm taking as many down with me before I go'

BRAH BRAH:

Correct. In autocracies and other dictatorships it's essential for the rulers to portray themselves as much tougher and better armed than they actually are. If Saddam had allowed the UN inspectors full access to Iraq he'd probably still be alive and in charge right now. Local rules though said he had to make himself out to be far more dangerous than he turned out to be in reality. It's probably identical in Iran, where Mahmoud gets to play the tough guy while the imams in the background are there for the "good cop" role when the time comes.
