Well I found this article and it really is alarming... We may not know if they intend this for good use, or for warfare. This is what bothers me the most...
I can certainly see the concern, and, as always, it can't hurt to side on the side of safety. However, I'm the kind of person that always takes news and media stuff to be over-exaggerated. That's not to say that it can't be true, I'm just saying that anything can be exaggerated. We have to remember that this is the Internet, and anything, in general, and no matter how small, can be made to appear bigger than is. I do have compassion, though. Only time will tell.
I honestly don't get why countries are even trying to become a "nuclear power". There's no use in it. The second they launch a weapon(and we will know the second they try it) they'll have their own country blown to oblivion in retaliation. We already have enough countries with nuclear weapons. Iran doesn't even look to be the most threatening of them.
That's true. I also like how UN regulates such things... But ever since the Fukushima nuclear power plants and the Japan disaster, some European countries, especially Germany, plan to get rid of the use of nuclear energy. So if they find a more efficient way for energy, then why do lower classed countries need nuclear power if we find it too harmful?
What makes any country higher or lower classed? There are developed and less developed countries around, but what are you classifying Iran as? To be honest with MAD in place you'd think that more countries that aren't considered as important would steer clear from nuclear warfare, considering that it if it ever did happen that everyone fired their nukes, who'd even think to aim at Madagascar or the Congo? They're not threatening enough. Iran could use the Nuclear power, but I doubt they'd have a need for warheads. Once their oil runs out, who will even see Iran as imposing or important?
That's not true. It's the easiest and a reusable source of energy. The concern is the nuclear waste. If we can continue to have R&D teams working on this issue, it will be a good source of energy.
umm, if they're speeding up, can someone tell me the closest place to a nuclear shelter? I don't trust those guys with anything nuclear
There is no obvious evidence of Iran having nuclear warheads or if their would be any active use of them or if they would remain dormant. The comment sounds like it is centred around Iran being a Middle Eastern country, and not any actual proof to back up the claim. Iran has been the least threatening of all Middle Eastern countries in terms of their military, and at times controlled by foreign powers. If anyone, I would fear America using Nuclear warheads, being that they are the only country ever to use nuclear weaponry in warfare, and their investment in military actions. I might seem anti-American, but their focus on the military is so worrying, and how willing they are to use drastic measure as shown by their history, frightens me. Actually now that I think about it, there were never any publicised weapons of mass destruction and the first public case of nuclear weaponry actually being in the Middle East is after the western world puts them in there. Will we never ****ing learn? We help put Al-Qeada in power, you'd think we'd learn from that.
I did say I don't trust them with anything nuclear. That includes power plants, bombs, heck, even nuclear ovens.
If that's the case, we should make sure that all trace amounts of uranium are completely removed from the area inside Iranian borders. After all, it is found in low levels within all rock, soil, and water. The best thing I can imagine to prevent them from weaponizing their nuclear technology is the United States helping them to develop it. This way we can regulate their power plants while seeming to help them make more progress than we're actually letting them. And if all else fails, another Stuxnet "incident" should shut them down for another few months.
I was talking about the use of nuclear weapons, not the use of nuclear energy. I already know that nuclear power plants are currently the best sorce of energy as nuclear forces are the strongest forces in the known universe. >>
You do that if America 'helps' Iran that'll just give them nuclear warheads quicker? You can't regulate what a foreign country does since they're not in your jurisdiction or your control. When America helped install Al-Qaeda as Afghanastan's primary political party, they were suppose to regulate with them in order to secure healthy relations between the country (to be honest, I believe it was all about securing oil sites). In the end that back fired majorly for the US, leading to the current warfare today. America was never elected as the worlds police force, yet it constantly tries to enforce laws onto foreign powers on a regular basis. Countries should be left to deal with their own problems unless they request assistance from others. I'd want full proof to what Iran is doing before I say we should hunt/train these people.
