Which no one believed anyway. At least now they are being more honest ...........
Thought the military already had control of the nukes. Well, the crazy leader, the ayatollah somebody, still controls the military.
Iran will get a nuclear bomb as soon as it can, on the theory that this will prevent an attack by the U.S.
not only that
the "peaceful" civilian application of energy developement and application card has been played.
now you know that they are on a war footing,
and are armed
in my opinion
"Iran will get a nuclear bomb as soon as it can, on the theory that this will prevent an attack by the U.S."
It's a tried and tested strategy, to be fair.
Would not be surprised if Russia already nicely provided Iran with a few.
Civilian nuclear power can be controlled by the military. Nothing to see here. European countries have military control civilian nuclear power is normal. So what if Iran is a middle eastern, death cult theocracy bent on destroying Israel and the U.S., even if the price is their own destruction.
Oh yeah, the Mullahs look at North Korea and see no U.S. attack. Which is okay with me, I'm not advocating attacking North Korea.
Er...didn't you get the memo?

The Basij are not a resistance force. Sanctioned by the system, they assault what they perceive to be un-Islamic and are encouraged to do so by the highest authority in Iran. The Basij are active in suppressing legitimate protests in Ahwaz City and Basij units will be used to suppress dissent in Khuzestan province. Although the Basij refer to themselves as "resistance" forces, they are in fact enforcers that oppress all dissent to prevent any resistance in Iran... This is just another example of how UP is DOWN among the dictator’s assistants in Iran. It makes one wonder what the word “peaceful” suggests when they say they only have plans for a “peaceful” nuclear program.
