[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 6138785, member: 60485"] It’s one thing to disagree with Israel it’s another to pretend Iran is a good guy. Supporting Iran, cheapens your stance on nuclear proliferation. [LIST] [*]Significant Uranium Stockpile: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports that Iran has amassed a substantial quantity of uranium enriched to 60% purity. This level is well above what is needed for civilian purposes and is considered close to weapons-grade (90% purity). [*]Sufficient for Multiple Bombs: According to the IAEA, Iran's stock of 60% enriched uranium is enough to produce up to nine nuclear weapons if enriched further to 90%. One IAEA yardstick indicates that approximately 42 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium are theoretically enough to produce one atomic bomb. [*]Rapid Enrichment Capabilities: Iran has significantly improved its uranium enrichment capacity, employing advanced centrifuges like the IR-6. This allows them to enrich uranium more quickly, potentially producing enough weapons-grade material for a bomb in a short timeframe. [*]Reduced "Breakout Time": The U.S. has assessed Iran's "breakout time" (the time needed to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon) to be as short as one or two weeks. [*]IAEA Concerns: The IAEA has expressed serious concern about Iran's continued production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium, especially as it is the only non-nuclear weapon state doing so. They have also reported non-cooperation from Iran regarding their nuclear activities. [*]Potential for Weaponization: While Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, the IAEA and others have found increasing evidence suggesting a potential military dimension. Iran's activities "better position it to produce" nuclear weapons if it chooses to do so. [/LIST] If you believe Israel has done illegal things, and you’re being told, Iran is also doing illegal things you were still picking evil. [/QUOTE]
