Yes, and Iraq has weapons if mass destruction.

… and now they don’t

Its hard to have a full scale war with a non existent army. The army has gone awol. There are a few IRGC guys sneaking around blowing off missiles here and there.

Reports are that sections of the army in hiding are starting to send messages to the crown prince Reza Palahvi transferring their support to him.

This whole thing is likely going to unravel to the Iranian people taking to the streets and the military coming out in solidarity with the people. Israel is just paving the way.

Gabbard’s phrasing when she testified was carefully chosen. My reaction then was Trump was buying some time to try negotiation before the warhawks forced him into action. I don’t think there’s an inch between Gabbard and Trump. I also think and assumed Trump would take out the nuke facilities if negotiations failed and the threat imminent. Everything is totally predictable imho.

Why else has Iran gone to greater than 60%

There's no evidence they have gone greater than 60%, so not weapons grade.

Lets talk about Israel’s nuclear weapons.

The double standards are astounding,

Only weeks away from weapons’ grade.

your whole ridiculous anti-Israel argument and whining falls apart with just one word

“essentially”

which means Iran agreed to do nothing verifiable or actionable.

“With what? How?”

Were those slingshots that Iran was shooting into Tel Aviv? Or missiles?

They have a requirement to allow inspection which they dont comply with. There is no known purpose for enriching uranium to that level other than building bombs. They are the worlds biggest supporter of jihad and terrorism through proxies. Are you defending them?

We can talk about Israel when Israel says death to America.

Add to that there's the long list of Iran and its proxies killing Americans.

Just like Saddam was back in '03? How did that work out for us, folks?

Iraq only enriched its uranium to power grade, about 5%,

Iran has never tested a bomb. They can’t just make a bomb in a lab and strap it to one of their missiles and expect it to work on the first try. If Iran had deliverable nukes, they would have purchased them from Russia, why didn’t they ever do that?

This threat of Iran making their own bomb is a boogey man I’ve had to listen to for 40 years now. It would be cheaper and easier to purchase a weapon.

What did they say about the weapons of mass destruction that we did find? And what about our the soldiers getting sick that were exposed to them? Ya they didn’t report on that very much.
