What's your idea about Iran Nuclear Program ?!?

Yes. They should continue it, despite US "Aggression"\n\nIt is not right for the US to dictate who can have nuclear technology in the world...especially when they are the only ones to have ever used nuclear weapons on people.

England is entitled to its Nuclear program in my opinion because it was a part of the Great three in WWII.  I dislike Iran getting ahold of the nuke because of the numerous middle east wars and a country like that would not hesitate a first launch.

i believe the Iranian President is kinda radical crazy and is pretty much hellbent on controlling other countries in the middle east,Everyone knows he wont be happy till they have nucks,and I believe he will use them, unfortunately for the Iranian people most countries believe that also.He's probably Hitler reincarnate.

The idea to contain nuclear proliferation is to have as few countries as possible have atomic weapons.  On the other hand any country can use nuclear energy for electric production.  A number of countries will assist other countries in constructing a peace nuclear energy plant.\n\nThe problem occurs when a country wants to develop their own nuclear industry, purportedly for peaceful purposes and their government is not stable and their plans for such development are clearly for weapons development.  Iran falls into this latter category.\n\nRussia has offered to develop for them (on Russian soil) the nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes and Iran has turned this down.  They want nuclear weapons and they already have the missile systems which deliver them at least as far as Europe.  They support the destruction of Israel and it is a surety that if they had such weapons they would use them.\n\nThey will be helped to have atomic energy plants for peaceful purposes, they will not be allowed to have an atomic weapons development program.  .

Nah possibility of a nuclear war with nations is slim but if a terrorist group were to get their hands on a nuke weapon then all bets are off. That's why Iran nuke program must be verifiable before they are allowed to have one - they sponsor terrorism (hezbollah, hamas, etc)

Tfhe US government does not want any new nations to have nuclear capabilities.  Especially ones that are agressive and terroristic.  I say this because the Iran Government has already stated that Isreal has no right to exist and needs to be eradicated.

Wow, so the brainac people are here in political.  what a relief.\n\nThe most amazing transformation happened to the White House Cowboy the past two weeks.\n\nA few days ago, Bush was damn near declaring war over this program and calling for Security Council etc.\n\nNow, it appears that someone yanked Bush´s chain and explained to him the differences between Iraq and Iran.\n\nThis little tinhorn bitch in the White House is going to get someone killed.  Ooops...too late.\n\nFortunately, for peaceful solutions, the mighty righty changed his tune.  Maybe, the US can get out of Iraq without involving a real country who would either kick ass to the Red Sea or force US to use tactical nukes, whatever that means, to save face.\n\nThe Iran program is a necessary step to peace.  I´m glad that George the Second is having his d**k handed to him and that Americans can this is about what happened.

God! To most of those answers so far, you guys have been so brainwashed by your media. To anyone that thinks Tehran should be nuked, think on this, your very attitude gives those in Iran who may or may not hate you, the very reason to attack you.  \n\nWe all have to live on this rock called earth together, your idiotic xenophobic remarks are NOT helping a very delicate situation.\n\nWould you like to be nuked? because if the USA did Nuke Tehran, there WILL be a response in kind from Russia and China!\n\nYou are calling for your own destruction, by wishing a nuclear attack on Iran. it would be a world wide cataclysmic all out nuclear war. You would not win that because nobody would win it.\n\nIran is NOT afghanistan or Iraq. They have not broken any international laws, they are LESS of a threat to the international community than the USA who is rapidly becoming a rogue state, illegally developing masses of WMD, Biological chemical and new nuclear weaponry  and your leadership has maintained a right to use this internationally banned weaponry against anybody they choose.\n\nThe fact that your country poses a much greater threat to the peace and stability of Iran, than they do to you means that they have a right for the international community to defend them, and yet YOU want THEM to be attacked? how the hell do you think they feel? they ARE threatened, unlike you. and you want to lash out???? You are fuckwits if you truly want them nuked.\n\nThey should not develop nuclear weaponry and they constantly claim that they have no itention to do so. I don't know whether to believe them, but what I do know is this, they do have a legal right top develop a peaceful nuclear energy program. They have a right to produce their own nuclear fuel. \n\nWhat I also know, is if they where to ever develop a nuclear weapon to be used against Israel or any ally of the USA, we all know, Especcially the leadership in Tehran, that Tehran would be turned into green glass.\n\nSo why would they do it? They could never destroy the US as a whole, but the US could Destroy Iran, many times over.\n\nLeave the international diplomats to try and sort this out in a peaceful manner. the alternative does not bear thinking about.

I saw this same question asked over and over again by different persons at Y!A.... \nWhy???!!!\n\n\nI wonder what is it about Iran that you think we people outside Iran do not know but should know? You tell us...please!

It now appears a foregone conclusion that Iran will continue its nuclear program no matter what the United States and European Union offer to stop it. A military strike would likely be futile, since Iran has hardened and dispersed its nuclear complex. \n\nA war, even a limited one, will almost certainly raise oil prices to recession-inducing levels, as Iran cuts itself off from global markets.\n\nThere are fearfully powerful arguments against the use of the military option. But multiplied together, squared, and then cubed, the weight of these arguments does not come close to matching the case for us to stop, by whatever means may be necessary, Iran from becoming a nuclear power. \n\nIf Iran gets safely and unmolested to nuclear status, it will be a threshold moment in the history of the world, up there with the Bolshevik Revolution and the coming of Hitler. \n\nAnd the kind of society we live in and cherish in the West will change beyond recognition. We balk now at intrusive government measures to tap our phones or other intrusions into our civil liberties. Imagine how much more our freedoms will be curtailed if our governments fear we are just one telephone call or e-mail, one plane journey or truckload, one lead-lined cargo ship away from another Hiroshima. \n\nYou ask for a date of the attack, it's unknown, be there are timeposts that military tacticians, i'm sure are looking at. The estimated dates of an operational nuke in Iran is anywhere between 2007 and 2012. \n\nThere are reports that the Israel deadline for strikes against Iran are the end of March. American air strikes on Iran would vastly exceed the scope of the 1981 Israeli attack on the Osiraq nuclear center in Iraq, and would more resemble the opening days of the 2003 air campaign against Iraq. Using the full force of operational B-2 stealth bombers, staging from Diego Garcia or flying direct from the United States, possibly supplemented by F-117 stealth fighters staging from al Udeid in Qatar or some other location in theater, the two-dozen suspect nuclear sites would be targeted. \n\nTehran has confirmed that it will retaliate if attacked, in the form of ballistic missile strikes directed against Israel (CNN, 8 Feb 2005). These attacks, could also target US military facilities in Iraq and Persian Gulf, which would immediately lead us into a scenario of military escalation and all out war.

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!

I have done some extensive study of Iran and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran is a party to the NPT. The enrichment plant that Iran has built in no way violates their resonsibilities as a signer to the NPT. The centrifuges that everyone talks about are normal equipment for anyone who wants to enrich uranium. The same equipment is used to enrich uranium to 5% (for nuclear power) or 95% (for weapons). (The only other way used today is gaseous diffusion.)\n\nIn my opinion, Iran has every right (as granted to them by the NPT) to mine, mill, convert, enrich, burn, and (hopefully) reprocess uranium. Iran's facilities have been inspected repeatedly and absolutely no evidence of a nuclear weapins program has ever been found there. \n\nThe United States was the country that gave Iran the technology and supplies (in the 1970s) for a nuclear power capability. I think that Iran should be allowed to continue with their nuclear program. If they do eventually develope nuclear weapons, it will be another sad day. But they will not be the only country with nukes in the middle east. As of now, it is known that Israel, and India have them also.\n\nIran has every right to nuclear power (no matter now much oil they have) and every aspect of its production. We must not deny them this right.

Iran doesn't have any atomic weapons yet.  Besides, they're working on developing Nuclear weapons.  \n\nYesterday's announcement was just about enriching uranium.

It's delicate. My guess is that Iran will take Russia's offer for enrichment at least for now. I'm quite sure their research will go on, which means sooner or later someone's gonna call their bluff and then it won't matter whether they've been onest about the purpose of their program.\nThe sad thing is Iran still has the NPT and international law on it's side since none of the accusers managed to prove its program is -not- entirely civilian. \nWar right now would be damn inconvenient for US since to most neutral countries it will appear and incessant bullying and some might rally behind Iran, Syria and Venezuela.\nUS can't exploit Iraq oil just yet. Of course US companies will be preffered for drilling and/or refining Iraq oil but they have to wait for the situation in Iraq and give the appearance of elections.

The people of Iran are for the most part very similar to those in the U.S. Over the last decade, there have been countless pro-democracy rallies held and up until the most recent presidential elections, these were for the most part encouraged and allowed. The real problem comes from the most recent President and the clerical leadership. As a political science enthusiast, I feel as if I am have enough knowledge on the subject to state my opinion which is that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons for two main reasons. The first is that the middle-east is currently in a deadlock due to Pakistan, India and Israel. The concept of a nuclear Iran throws this entire balance out of whack and as a result cannot be tolerated. The second and unfortunately the more important issue is oil. Although the U.S. no longer purchases oil from Iran, many countries still do, in particular China. Due to recent fall in the U.S. status as a the sole hegemony, I cannot imagine the fluctuations and the potential leverage that Iran could place on the oil markets if they were able to obtain nuclear weapons. I know that this is a material and shallow reasoning, but unfortunately it is the truth and as a result the U.S. cannot risk the potential constraints and inflation that this would cause on the world markets. The world is more globalized than ever, and each country fits into the puzzle in their own unique way and although it may be fair that Iran gets to have nuclear power (which we are willing to allow as long as it is enriched in Russia) I cannot imagine any responsible elected official allowing this scenario to unfold (regardless of political parties). I hope this was helpful and I invite further discourse and criticisms to my opinions. Thank You.

Iran has announced that they are going to open an oil market that opperates on the Euro.  That's bad for America because the US dollar is currently the primary currency for international oil trade.  So the United States has announced that Iran plans to have nuclear weapons.  How convenient.\n\ntaz: That's exactly what the US government wants you to think.  It's called propaganda.  Keep in mind that eveything that government agencies say they say for a reason.  They rarely just tell the straight out truth, and the current administration has a particularly notable history of lying.  You should always think about why they're saying what they're saying.

~Should Iran teach the US a lesson by taking out just one of their facilities?  this should stop them.\n\nGeorgie the Younger loves fools like you.
