IAEA - there was no imminent threat

19. I'm right there

beside you on this one.
I am seriously pissed that we are now actively involved in this. I believe that Israel could have handled this on their own if we were willing to extend the assets to do so. There was no reason for us to do it except for serving up bragging rights for Trump.
On the other hand, we know full well that if Iran was able to make enough of it and continue refining, they would use it to make a bomb. I'm convinced that the Chinese would have shared the reflector and compression tech with them, and they probably already have.
It would be a grave error to think that the United States is in less danger than Israel regarding a nuclear armed Iran. As soon as they have a deliverable weapon, the WILL use it. These are not the kind of people you trust or try to make nice with, their only goal is their fanatic goal of spreading Islam by any means necessary. They literally view the Jews and the Western world as a devil needing destroyed.
Right now, very few people know exactly what Iran has since they have not cooperated for many years. I hate to give him any relief, but I'm having a hard time believing that the orange menace would do this for kicks knowing full well that at the very least, this is going to drastically impact our economy through energy costs. That's the thing he loves to brag about most. I have to surmise that they know something they are unwilling or unable to tell us. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Iran already has a weapon at some level.
