Are Iranians really trying to make nuclear weapons?

I don't think anyone really knows for sure that is their intent.  But best guess and what everyone knows about the government would be that is probably their intent, yes.  All signs seem to be pointing that way.

That's a misconception.  As much as I dislike the current US government, I must say that they do not resist nuclear power in Iran.  They, along with most other democratic governments, do not approve of the type of reactors that Iran is building.  \n\nIran is developing "breeder" reactors and  making enriched uranium, whose only "reasonable" application is weaponry.  If Iran were truly interested in nuclear reactors for domestic power there are a number of different designs that are cheaper and more efficient, and don't create weapons.

Iran is using oil to make electricity , atomic tech. is not only to make energy.we use atomic tech. for cancer,biotech,.... ... its a technology and every body should use it.\nwhen you hear about atomic energy you just think about atomic bomb !! israel is not a good nation untill they attack to other nations. iran is strong enough to control the area.they didnt attack to any body just other nation want to attack to iran becouse of oil and they see iran is improving and they can not see that.atomic tech. is an improvment for them.bbc&cnn,... are false,listen to reallity

Iran has only managed to refine a very small amount of material for a bomb.  The experts say they do not have anywhere enough to create a bomb yet.  If the UN and the USA are smart they will never give Iran the time to finish.

The whole MAD business.  If both sides start using nuclear weapons, the world has a good chance of ending.  So, no one actually uses them.  I'm guessing if Iran actually uses them, the US won't retaliate because no one wants to use nuclear weapons.

I think so. Iran is wanting nuclear weapons. They should live under the same rules as everyone else.

Who doesn't talk about the Holocaust ?? Iran will never use Nuclear power for peaceful purpose because its President is a Joker, trying to appease the clearics. The nuclear power is their plan not his. He's just become the president and the Nuclear ambitions are much older. The Islamic Terrorists have Killed More Iraqies than the American. Does it answer all your questions? The so called jehadis are actually traitors in American eyes. America trained them , Funded them did everything for them and they inturn have stabbed america in the back.

It is bad that any country has atomic bombs. As of now, it is not proven Iran has atomic weapons, it is only proven they have enriched uranium.

The only comments by the US that are relevant to Iran is, it will not allow Iran to be a Nuclear power.  IT has stated, as has the European countries in the UN, that it believes that Iran is seeking to become a Nuclear power.  If the US is a liar on that basis, then so are the European powers.  The consensus is, that Iran is not being truthful about it's intentions relative to nuclear power.  I agree with that consensus!

Unlike North Korea (who seems to use their nuclear sabre-rattling every decade or so to extort financial aid from the UN) I am convinced that a nuclear-armed Iran would most certainly detonate a payload somewhere. A move against Israel is very believeable. Iran has shown an attitude of support for islamo-fascist terrorism also. It is not inconceivable for an Iranian produced nuke to end up in a suitcase in say, Times Square.\n\nIf you are a rational citizen of the world and you are not concerned about this issue, you are either very dumb or asleep.

Yep. If one nation posseses nuclear weapons, what gives it the right to forbid nuclear weapons to other nations? Dont get me wrong, I dont approve of any nuclear weapons at all, but if the Iranians want them, then its their right.\n\n\npeace

Interesting question.\n\nAt the moment the truth is that Iran is stating absolutely that it doesn't want 'Nukes', instead it is claiming a right to develop a nuclear capacity for peaceful power generation. With the price of oil rising globally this seems a sensible strategy.\n\nOf course the problem is that this could be masking a drive for the development of nuclear weaponry.  \n\nIs this justified?  Well there are two schools of thought.  \nThe first is that for defence purposes it is.  Iran is a developed nation in the Middle East and one of its neighbours, Israel has a nuclear capability.  Iran could justifiably argue that it requires a nuclear deterrent to counter that of Israelis.\n\nThe second is that no, it's not.  Iran has been explicitly threatening to the West and Israel (whom it said it intended to 'wipe off the map') and whilst the rest of the world are looking to dismantle nuclear stock piles, it is incongruous for a nation to be building a nuclear capability.\n\nNot sure of the answer, but hope this helps.

look, iran doesnt have the equipment to enrich uranium enough for weapons grade, thats it. no matter what youve been told or think you know. listen to dr. prather, the guy with 43 years atomic energy/weapons expirience. HEs the guy the UN sends in when they want to know what up. http://www.weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=131\nstop with the paranoia. bush decided long ago to go in, dont worry, youll get your war.

you don't understand the situation. US believes Iran will use it's nuclear technology to build nuclear weapons. Iran is using it for energy and Iran is allowing UN to inspect it's nuclear facilities. Only why there is a controversy is because US believes Iran will attack Israel with nuclear weapons and US is putting on the pressure to make sure Iran does not have any nuclear weapons.

No, Iran should NOT have a nuclear weapon. They are dangerous actually VERY dangerous and people in Iran are stupid.

Your damn right they do...and no... they are not right. They are trying to pull a north korea.. *sses\n\nAdditional details. \nI agree with booksbadram that they wnt to build a weapon in order to have a bargaining chip at the table, but also, because they really don't like Israel having them either. Because of the Holocaust Israel has a very good reason not to trust their neighboars, specially when many leaders in the middle east are anti-semetic not to mention anti christianity. To each its own I say, but Israel has no intentions of anexing iran, egypt or any other country for that matter. They have plenty to deal with Hamas and the paleastineans, however they feel (and they should) the need to be prepared in the event of an attack from any of these countries. Believe me, I am not a fan of this whole israel/palestinea situation, but until the paleastenians stop resorting to terrorism, I am going to side with Israel. \nAs for Iran, having an a-bomb would make for great publicity  within their population and would contribute to their propaganda against the west, but who is to say that were tey able to make a bomb they would not provide it to terrorists?   I can guarantee you that if Israel sees any hint of this happening, they will launch a pre-emptive attack, because they are more than likely one of the targets. Anyway, Iran should not be allowed to have an a-bomb period.
