The "Breaking" was satirical.

That article said nothing like what you implied. In fact it said about the opposite. They'll be allowed to enrich non-weaponisable elements for scientific research and medicine. In exchange, they'll shut down other centrifuges and still be liable for inspections.

I see the end game of this similar to NK, lots of talk but in the end they'll test a bomb. What they do after they test it is anybody's guess, but I'm betting they will simply sit on the capability. Somebody will sell the Saudis some bombs shortly afterward and they'll test one.

You're right. Iran is a beacon of trust. I'll believe every word they say.

And those inspections are A-OK... but only if they aren't snap inspections.

And any agreement made won't be in writing... so no interpretation can take place.

For some reason, that article missed the actual (not threatened) release of sensitive info about Israel's nuclear capabilities.

Likely not much. Iran wants the bomb so they will be mostly untouchable from our intervention. And we will politely ask the Sauds if we can install some missile silos on the Kingdom after that happens. The fundamentalists over there will be thrilled with that, given how they feel about US boots on the Kingdom.

If and when Iran develops a warhead, with or without a delivery system.

Saudi Arabia will fly a jumbo jet full of cash to Pakistan and buy one of their own.

Iran being more powerful will simply do what ISIS is doing more quickly and on a larger, more dangerous, more lethal scale. They are competitors for helm of radical Islam, neither ISIS or Iran are our friends.

With their cash no reason why the Saudis should screw around with 60 year old tech, double down and pick up some good two stage stuff like B83 or W76.

Probably because it's not a big deal nor nearly as sinister as some want to make it out to be.

It it is if your Israel

Well yeah, but I'm not in favor of Israel being able to censor American governmental documents that are able to be released under the FOIA.

I would think that if they were able to censor American documents............then it wouldn't have been released

Exactly, so they can pound sand

 

[D-Ric902]

Exactly, so they can pound sand

but.....the documents were released

ergo....not able to censor our documents. So your statement is without merit and is therefore ignored

As is the whole outrage over the release.
