Should Iran be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon?

What happened with Gaddafi demonstrated to the entire region what happens when you don't have that deterrent. Rubio even said if Iran has nukes then we couldn't do anything about the strait.

You have nukes, you dont get fricked with. Even if you arent an antagonist I understand the motivation. That said, no, no one should have nukes.

Iran wants nukes to defend itself from regime change. Which is exactly what we (Israel) wants.

Also, guess who stole American nuclear secrets? Hint: it wasn’t Iran, it was our greatest ally.

I appreciate your honesty but no one should ever think Iran should possess a nuclear weapon. Period. It’s a ludicrous question.

Iran is led by the devil incarnate.

Lord of the retards. Iran is the world largest sponsor, funder, and exporter of terrorism. Anyone who thinks they should have a nuke should go frick themselves to death.

Well that’s the thing, some amongst us don’t see any differences or distinctions between Iran and any other country. Believe it or not. Somehow to them Iran is merely just another country seeking to protect itself, full stop.

Sit all we know that Iran is responsible for over the years when it comes to Iran/ USA relations and just look at recent history since the war began.

Iran has attacked its neighbors. They have shut down the free flow of goods and energy in an international waterway. They did the latter by claiming they mined an international waterway. They have shot at and attacked ships from countries that had nothing to do with the war. They claimed at one point to seize a couple of ships. They are attempting to force any ship that wants to pass through the Strait of Hormuz to pay a toll to them. All of this is outrageous behavior. They have done all this without possessing a nuclear weapon. If they are capable of all this without a nuke then what would they do with one?

Now add back in all the murder death and mayhem they are responsible for since this regime has come to power in the late 70’s on top of the recent record of Iran. I think the answer is a big fat NO Iran can’t have a nuke. Period!!

The sad fact is that they don’t even need to acquire nukes to cause great harm and damage to the world. All they need is enough conventional capabilities to overwhelm everyone’s missile defense systems and force everyone in the region to use interceptor missiles faster than they can be replaced. Forcing everyone to shoot down large attacks with low cost and easy to make drones with expensive and time consuming to replace interceptor missiles would have the same effect as a nuclear missile threat. They could shut down the Strait with impunity at that point causing massive damage to the world’s economy. The price of everything would go sky high and if anyone tried to do anything about it then Iran would kill massive number of civilians across the world because they could overwhelm everyone’s missile defense. These people need to be dealt with so none of that can happen later in the future.

If they could be trusted not to give nukes to their terror groups .. i wouldn't care if they had nukes.

I know DC has funded some terror groups over the years, but they've never given nukes to them to use on other countries. With Iran, I just get the feeling that a few years after they comfortably develop a lot of nukes, we'll start seeing some terrorists using nukes, and then all the world scratching their collective head, pretending not to know how terror groups got hold of nukes.

No, it isn't.

It's led by horrible who don't share our values, that's true. But what matters is that they aren't irrational, just like the leaders of North Korea, Pakistan, and other countries that view the world very differently than we do aren't irrational either. We can get into a bad habit of believing that any nation that opposes us must be led by people who are literally crazy, but that just isn't true.

Take a second for a quick thought experiment: What do you think the US would do in response to an Iranian nuclear attack on our cities or any of our military assets? We'd nuke them off the face of the earth in retaliation, right?

Well, the leaders of Iran know that just as well as we do, and they don't want to see their cities go up in mushroom clouds either. That's why the line of BS we've been fed about "Well, how much is gas going to cost after Iran nukes Washington D.C.?!?" is so dumb. Nukes are a deterrent , not an offensive weapon.

This whole war is all about maintaining Israel's military superiority over Iran, and anyone who tells you differently is either wrong or lying.

Of course not. Should an orangutan be taught how to play basketball?
