| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28069791 11/27/2012 04:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm always cautious to take these reports with a grain of...okay...a BUCKET of rice..but it's interesting how much it's been intensifying lately. Hopefully not a case of 'boy who cried wolf' in the respect that everyone gets sick of the reports, stops paying attention to them and then one day we wake up to news of an underground nuclear test by Iran. Even so, if the other NINE nuclear powers have the right to own a bomb perhaps the world can make room for a tenth.. |

More dodgy countries than Iran have nukes... Very true (a point I was trying to make in my last post). Saudi Arabia recently launched a nuclear program. Yep. That one flew under the radar huh. Brazil and Turkey are also considering one in the near future. I can only imagine what a Turkish nuclear program would do to that region.. But yes you're absolutely right, there are plenty more dodgy countries than Iran going down that path. One is located on the Mediterranean coast, a few miles from the Egyptian border.. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20063594 11/27/2012 05:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | also to add on to the post i made, didnt we think they were gonna use them also. i seriously belive the only reason why a country wants them is because they dont want to be invaded. kinda like insurance. but heres what ive been thinking againg its a thought 1.iran exports alot of oil. yes or no ? 2.what were to happen if they stoped produceing that oil for energy and export and started produceing power ? 3.how would the above effect global gas prices? IMO if the first question is correct( iran produces alot of oil yes or no ?) then gas prices here would go higher very high. that effect logistics, food, water , transoprtation, and countless of things oil is backed by. heres a example gas becomes $7 so the price gets passed on to the consumers. that bag of chips made in texas now cost double to ship to new york ect. do you think we will let that happen ? is the above what all this is about ? |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28069791 11/27/2012 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some interesting points shared above. Thank you. In response to the first of the two, yes I believe Iran is the third biggest oil exporter (if my memory serves me correct). They're certainly in the top 4 OPEC oil producing nations. If Iran develops a self-sufficiency in nuclear power, yes that will have a bearing on the oil economy to some extents. I really can't envisage anyone going to war with Iran these days though. They have too many trump cards to play in the region (Hezbollah, Syria, Lebanon, Strait of Hormuz closure, Mahdi Army in Iraq, Sadr, etc, etc, etc, etc). It would not be a successful war for whoever launches it against them. As for Iran building a dirty bomb and using it? Well I dread to even think about the ramifications of that. It certainly wouldn't do Iran any favours. Short of a unilateral Israeli airstrike against Iran in the next three months, I cannot see the status-quo changing in that region unless they (a) build a nuclear weapon or (b) succumb to the Arab Spring/Revolution. |

A dirty bomb is not a bomb to win a war. A dirty bomb is a bomb to end a war. Remember the Iranian clergy is awaiting the Amahdi. They do not care if they die in the process. |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28069791 11/27/2012 07:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The point of the thread is to evaluate where this takes Bibi's "red line" and what happens next. Precedent would suggest nothing will happen (given the last 17 years of "boy who cried wolf" coming out of Israel). However, if this news is in fact true, then it means Bibi has to put his money where his mouth is and do something. Otherwise his legacy will mean nothing. IMHO I think they'll get the bomb one day. I don't have a problem with that considering nine other countries have the bomb and we've avoided WW3 possibly because of that very reason. M.A.D (as mad as it seems) has its underlying logic! |

He did end up revising his estimates about when the IDF would have to act, but nonetheless he's put his political career on the line in saying it. Hopefully nothing comes of it but every development like the one spoken of in the link is important for this reason. |

Quoting: The Tauremini M.A.D (as mad as it seems) has its underlying logic! The problem with your logic is that its not logical, Islam is a religion which relishes death they want to bring in a global Islamic caliphate, why on earth would they NOT want to drop a nuke on the western kafir. We ignore the opportunity to deal with muslim nukes at our peril. |
| Ohwell User ID: 1130828 11/27/2012 08:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Since it's been all talk from the West over the last 17 years I'm guessing we'll wake up to a nuclear-armed Iran in the very near future. Quoting: The Tauremini I wonder if it'll be an underground test.. Operation Blackjack says it all. The Middle East has already been put in chaos mode. The News on Iran is all that it will be....NEWS until they stage a False Flag on US soil that draws the US into the ME and make it react to the supposed Iran Nukes. They are just priming the masses for that moment when they stage the False Flag of a dirty nuke. US will then either blame Iran for this event or perhaps say that in order to prevent such attacks in future, it now has to attack Iran nuke facilities and any other nation the US has on its list.
