why US opposing Iran's peaceful nuclear energy but is silent about Israel's  18 nuclear bombs?

The US is the country that has the most nuclear weapons on the world. And it is always the one country that points the finger to small little no-meaning countries that even don't have the money nor the resources to build 1 bomb. And then they attack them. It is strange that the media does not open their eyes in the media-campaign of nuclear weapons in Iraq/Iran and so on. Nobody writes in the Washington Post or the New York times, that the US has more than 400 Nuclear bombs in deposit. Ready to nuke the world about 20 times. And nobody complains about that.\nAlso the fact that the US did not sign the non-atom-pact, does make it clear that it is the agressor and not the peace-keeper.

Iran has NOT allowed the IAEA inspectors to do their jobs. If Iran's intentions were as they say, they should have no problem with the Russian offer to have the enrichment facilities in Russia.\n\nGiven the Iranian government's statements regarding Israel and "causing harm and pain" to the US because they got referred to the UN Security Council, how can we think for one minute that their efforts are peaceful. Their rhetoric sounds like it could have very easily come from Bin Laden or another Islamo-fascist zealot bent on murdering anyone whose views differ from their own.\n\nThe asker asks why Iran cannot use nuclear energy. The world has no issue with this. Iran is welcome to use nuclear energy to bring electricity to its people. You can be damn sure, however, that the world isn't going to turn a blind eye while a fundamentalist state enriches uranium against UN and IAEA requests.

Isreal is an allay to the U.S.A, its is even more of a state for the united states than another country, if USA make sure that Isreal are powerful enough they are sure that the can contol the middle east, therefore it wont complain about isreal's nuclear power, in fact, USA helps israel's nuclear power become more.\nSince USA doesnt complain about israel's nuclear power all other contries in the world wont even dare to come close to this area in order to protect its realtions with the USA

Actually there are plenty of Iranians here where I am, I think the largest population is in California.  They tell me what you hear on the news isn't the right picture, many Americans do business with Iran everyday.  The invited me to find one thier offices and watch how many Americans and all others have business there.\n\nThey also tell me the biggest reason they are against having fuel produced outiside their jurisdiction is because they don't want a foriegn government to have price controls over them - it's about money.  But they do believe their president is a real loon.\n\nOne other thing, when this first started they were happy that someone finally stood up to the United States.  Then, later they told me, you know what?  We are Americans now, we have no interest in what happens over there.  What will happen is everyone will get the bomb and one loser will start WWIII.

No-one can stop Iran developing peaceful nuclear power ; they have every right to it.\nAfter that, if the U.S. continues to bug them to the extent that they feel threatened by it and by Israel, then they will have every right to develop nuclear weapons for self-defence.  In fact they already have this right, as does every country on earth, except the Vatican (which we'll have to call the Vatican't) because it would be unChristian.

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!

One of the most important countries in the world, and the most important country in the Middle East. Has a democratic govt. and people that are always there for the nation. There are some tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States. The reason is that Iran is developing peaceful nuclear technology, but United States, without any documents accuses Iran of developing nuclear weapons. United States is currently doing every thing it can against Iran, but won't make a military movement against Iran, because it knows that in the case of this war ( between Iran, and United States, and/or Israel) The loser of war certainly is not Iran.\nIranian people have a civilization of more than 2000 years and many Iranian scientists in previous centuries have set the bases of science and math.

Because I think that they are perfectly aware that by the time the first bomb will reach the Iranian land,Israel will cease to exist...Iran has the capability to do this and both US and Israel are perfectly aware of this,otherwise they would have attacked Iran by now...And Israel never cared about world's opinion,so I doubt that they will start now caring about what others say...

The Iranian president did not offer anything. He did not address the salient issue (nukes) The man is a Nazi and I hope Israel takes the opportunity to bomb Iran seeing that the UN is in Chamberlain mode. The world does not want Iran to have the bomb. Russia and China are on the Iranian payroll because of oil and Russia is supplying arms to Iran. They are operating in their intrests. The letter did not help matters at all. I also know the Iranian Hitler lacks popular support. He is using the issue to garner support inside Iran.

Get your facts straight.  The IAEA just issued a report on the amount of spent plutonium discovered upon inspection, which was far more than was required for a peaceful energy program.  If Iran wants to act like a stubborn child they deserve to be treated like one.

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

OK, what I say here is what I think, I will try to give facts to prove it but anyways it can be completely wrong.\nI think US will not tolerate a Nuclear Iran not because Iran will use nukes against anyone(They are not that insane) but because a nuclear Iran will collapse all power equations of Middle East.\nArab world will be at full time terror (You must know that Iranians are not Arab and  don't have good relationships at all with Arabs of Persian Gulf) and you must know that these Arabs are allies of US.\nIran can be strong enough to force US out of Persian Gulf and this in not what US can tolerate. it also shake the Israel really hard.\nIran claim that they are doing a peaceful nuclear thing is 100% correct but if Iran would be able to do all the enrichment process it can use it to make a nuke and US has given blueprints for a nuke to Iran itself for God knows reason, US have claimed that they have given the wrong blueprints to Iran but they are aware that Iranian have good researchers(Most of them have degrees from US)\nAnyways I don't think a WWIII like previous WWs take place because Nuke countries are affraid of each other more than they can simply invade each other, next WW will be an economic one and it has started already, its between China and US and China is doing better till now.\nLast of all I want to remind you that Iran and Israel have  relationships, maybe they are not allies but they have same enemies and benefits and lot more, till now they only have yelled at each other, no more than that, Iran nuclear program has been in process for 40 years, if Israel wanted to attack them they could do it at the same time they do it in Iraq, after Iran-Iraq war when Iran was at it worst military point not now that they have bought lots of Russian equipments which I will tell no more.

I checked on Google and I found http://www.timemun.org/. It's very weird. I've never heard about this organization. \nOne of their goals, as I read, is "Preventing the acquisition of nuclear weaponry and technology by terrorist organizations." Israels's government actions agains Palestine are pure terrorism. Why Israel has nuclear weapon then? ANd let me remind you- Israel started nuclear program in complete secrecy. They even arrested a Jewish journalist who took photos of nuclear powerplant...  At the end, when it became public, nobody asked any questions.. Unfortunately we're living in the world with double standards..

Nuclear energy is very cost efficient if it is used carefully obviously.  However everyone knows that Iran is not interested in nuclear energy for just energy alone.  They want to be a bigger fish in the pond so to speak.  I think that some of the radicals in Iran would not hesitate to drop a nuke on Israel or the United States.

Take it at 95%. The US, Britain, and France all are getting tough on the UN to stop Iran from its nuclear program. But as you know IRan is not listening and probably won't listen into they have obtained nuclear weapons.
