One side has them and does not want to use them, well maybe just the 2 times.  The other side wants to get them and use them, in my delusional mind anyways.

too much terminator eh (i had to google it up,lol), but seriously this was well known for a long time that iran is enriching low enrich uranium.

The U.S is drumming up more propaganda against Iran, they are still bitter that the Revolution ousted the U.S puppet, the shah. they see Iran's advancing, moving forward as a way to drum up propaganda against them.
"Drumming up propaganda against Iran" by saying they don't have weapons-grade uranium?

Seriously?

I actually hope you are right.  I don't think anyone is going to be willing to stop Iran from aquiring them so the only alternative is that he is not going to follow through with own perceived destiny.

tell you what my friend,  if the USA enemies had F15's, B2 bombers and those fancy carrier strike group equivalents you lot wouldn't be half as inclined to go about the adventures you've been undertaking in the past few years.

The enemy capability to strike the equivalent damage as yourself, would make you think just a little bit more before pressing that little red button.

Sure you can. Depends on what they were doing with it. This idea that we have absolutely zero restraint because we have superiority is wrong. I, as a matter of opinion, do not think that the entirety of the world would be so reluctant.

They are both countries with national interests. Both are acting in ways they think are in their national interests. Other countries disagree...with either or both of them.

Change the names of the countries and its the same thing across the globe. It's called global politics.

The Iranians know full well if they nuke Israel they will be destroyed by America.
OTOH If Israel attacks Iran nothing will happen to Israel, hence Iran needs MAD for defence.

But they don't have weapons grade material and are a good long way from making any even if they choose to.

Well your stance is commendable but unachievable .  Lets face it, it's intrinsic human behaviour to fuck over the weak.  It's happened since the dawn of time, and it's not going to stop.  Look every great civilisation ever to grace the planet, they didn't get to their apex through organic growth.  Someone, somewhere always got it in the ass.

MAD works.  I can destroy your nation just as well you can anniliate mine so lets keep them locked up and not use them eh? We'll just have to find a weaker nation and subvert to our hearts content.

The only realistic way forward is to let Iran get nukes.  Why?

Because Israel has them.

Do you honestly think Iran is going to stop doing this research?  There's really nothing that can be done about this.  If we push hard enough, they'll end all visible research but keep up their activities underground.  I'd rather their research be more open, so we know more of what to expect from them.

About the best case scenario I see with Iran is normalizing relations with them and aiding them with nuke security.  We've done some of the same for Pakistan, although Pakistan is rapidly deteriorating right now.

I don't want them to use it against anyone but just having some nukes will prevent any agressive country like the US or israel to bomb their peaceful nuclear installations.

Having one or two nukes loaded onto missiles that can be shot down wouldn't be enough to prevent an attack if they wanted to. It always makes me lol that so many people want nukes completely removed but think its ok for Iran to get a couple because others have some. The world isn't fair, there is no law saying that Iran should be allowed them just because others own them and considering that Iran is an Islamic republic with revolutionary views as well as supporting listed terrorist groups that actively engage in combat against Israel, the US and coalition forces in Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza, there's a damn good reason why a lot of western countries don't want them to have an underground or secretive nuclear project. Nobody produces nuclear power in secret.

But if they have nukes then Israel will probably go after and bomb the nuclear weapons sites, not the peaceful sites...

The key is to remove all nuclear weapons from all countries.

Just what in the wide wide world of sports does Israel having nukes have to do with Iran having them?

Has Israel threatened Iran for just existing? No.

Has Iran done the same to Israel? Yes.

Has Israel funded/trained/armed insurgents in and around Iran to wage a proxy war against Iran just because Iran exists? No.

Has Iran done that to Israel? Yes.

I'm detecting a pattern.

Iran having nukes has fuckall to do with Israel having nukes. When Israel starts threatening Iran or anyone else with nuclear annihilation for no good reason, that argument will have merit. Until then, it's nonsensical. If that argument held any water, then Saudi would have a nuke program...they don't. So would most other GCC countries...they don't. When did those countries start talking about starting their own nuke programs? When Iran started theirs back up.

Yep. All Israel's fault.

Everything.  Well, almost everything.  We actually have more to do with it than Israel.  See Iran fears either Israel or us coming to invade them.  The easiest way to deter that is for tham to have nukes.  I can't say I blame them for seeking them.

I don't think you'll find many people who will disagree with you that Iran has brought a lot of stuff on themselves.  They've done a lot to earn the ire of Israel.

On the other hand, you can't rationally expect Iran to stop nuclear research just because of our pressure.  Again, even if they stopped doing research in the open, they'd do it underground.

Sorry, it has everything to do with Israel having nukes because they're enemies.

Did we threaten Khruschev before he started threatening us?  No.  That doesn't mean that us having nukes wasn't relevant to Russia's participation in the arms race.

The point is...  as long as a nearby enemy has nukes, a nation will seek out the same technology if it has the power to do so.  This is why Iran is doing it.  ---partially because of us and partially because of Israel.

At some point, you guys are gonna have to realize that Iran will get nukes eventually, unless we're stupid enough to invade them.
