Historic U.S.-Iran nuclear deal could be taking shape

[Indy Texas 🇺🇦🇵🇸]

I still can't fathom why Israel's programme is never brought up despite its endless bitching about Iran's nukes.

Because you can't put genies back in the bottle.

Israel isn't disarming. No one's going to disarm. Ever.

Also, because Israel isn't going around yelling about wiping countries off the map. Boasting about your genocide intentions = no genocide weapons.

Oh my God, Immadinnerjacket's gone, and the Iranian President is not the same thing as the American President. The Iranian Prez is #17 in the chain of command or something (who the hell is #17 in our chain even??), and he just functions as the "voice of the people" when consulting the mullahs (in addition to some other important domestic roles).The mullahs are the ones who really rule Iran. IIRC, the Supreme Leader Khamenei said that possessing nuclear weapons would be "a great sin". In fact, he issued a fatwa saying that production and possession of nukes is forbidden under Islam...in 2005.

The mullahs aren't suicidal and apocalyptic like ISIS. The mullahs would like to survive and continue ruling. Iran has every right to develop nuclear energy, and there is no solid evidence that they're trying to develop a nuclear weapon outright. None whatsoever.

Considering how the world's great powers have treated Iran across history, and the way we used "inspections" as a way to demand increasing amount of documents for Iraq's WMD program and eventually lead to the 2003 invasion, Iran has every right to be suspect of any interference and "deals" we strike with them, as well as Israel's aggressive rhetoric and actions towards them and other Muslim states. Israel is the one constantly sabotaging treaties here, not Iran.

Basically this.

Also, Israeli politicians have alluded to a desire for genocide against Palestinians on multiple occasions. Does that make their possession of nukes less legitimate?
