what do u think about iran nuclear technologo?

It is 10-15 years away from a bomb and even then they do not have the delivery system to deploy it at this time farther than their neighbors in the middle east.  What they do have the the capability to cause a massive world war by thumbing their nose at a bully.  What that bully doesn't understand is that the threat that an Iranian Nuke presents is not nearly as dire as the threat of another unjust war in the middle east creates.  Oil shipments from the region to the west cease or are drastically cut, oil shipments to China (over land via pipelines) skyrocket, the western economies fall, the western governments are left in shambles, dictators rise from democracies, war spreads throughout the region and the world...  Pakistan's government falls giving radical islamists more than enough nukes and delivery systems years before Iran would have had them and the world is thrown into the darkness of a war which no one will win.

now .. haven't you opened a can of worms ?!?!?!?\nit is a tough one, mainly because NO ONE can say whether or not there's actually a military (bomb-making) aspect to the "nuclear ambition". \nConstruction of the nuclear power plants in Iran started many years ago, long before the mullahs came to power ... so it's not as if this is something new that the current regime has suddenly come up with. In that sense, and since there is no "proof" of any malicious ;) activity, I personally don't see why not complete power plants on which millions and millions have been spent already. But then again : is there an atomic bomb hiding behind the facade? I don't know ... you don't know ... Bush doesn't know ... the IAEA doesn't know. To be fair, I would say all "countries" are "innocent" unless PROVEN otherwise.

Iran is only trying to get nuclear POWER, not a bomb, AND\nthey don't have the technology to deliver anything to the USA even if they did have a bomb, which they don't.

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.

I think Iran will shamelessly gouge the West for all the money and concessions it can get.  But in the end, Iran will probably accept the offer.  They have nothing to lose.  They can always resume their research in the future.\n\nIran may say developing nuclear capability is a part of national pride and political independence, but from our perspective, it is just blackmail.  \n\nI sincerely believe that most international relations are based on faulty images of the other side.  Iran should know the West cannot accept weapons of devastating destruction in the hands of a volatile religious theocracy.  However, Iran probably doesn't see itself that way.\n\nOn the flip side, the West probably doesn't appreciate the level of national pride they pin on achieving nuclear power.  For Iran, it is a matter of national honor and a symbol that they are a world power.\n\nHowever, someone has to level with Iran:  they are not a stable enough country to handle nukes.

It should not be allowed nuclear capabilities, and we should all endever to prevent this occurance, because it is not within the intrests of the Western world. I recognise the arguement that Iran is as unstable or backward as the Western press portray it to be, however a neuclear Iranian would enable it to dictate policy in the region to a much larger degree, look at North Korea for example. The West needs a weaker Iran to exploit its natural resources, we should not be apologetic about this fact, we should however be careful how we go about it. As previous events have shown, badly planned interferance is far worse than isolationism.

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.

A nuclear capable Iran is a threat to the world--not just to the USA and I am sorry but this not a case of "so and so has nuclear power and so can we".  If your a country that is threatening others then stopping a nuclear program will is a must.\n\nEvery effort at diplomacy will be done but if that doesnt work--then I imagine they will take out Irans Nuclear site. I say "they" because it wont be the USA alone--in fact I do not think we will do it--it will probally be Israel.

lol, the Shah of Iran was instilled in the 50's, before Iran got nuclear technology.  In the 70's he was forcibly removed.\n\nOUr governments secrets continue to be declassified, albeit 40 years too late, but it is good to know what lengths those in power will use to stay in power.\n\nI am aghast at the idea of sharing nuclear technology with India, who refuses to sign the Non-proliferation treaty, yet already has 150 nukes?  Plus their continual pissing match against Pakistan is a little concerning as well...but we collectively put Bush in charge....and are now paying the price.  Iran signed the NPt...which basically is an agreement to NOT BLOW UP THE WORLD.  As the country with the Most Nukes, if anyone attacks with nukes, we can and will effectively destroy the world.  Kind of cry babyish, I know:  play by our rules, or we'll blow up the whole friggin world.....luckily, even our idiot leaders see no point in ruling a radioactive wasteland....at least for now.

Leshad. When Israel and other countries are "de-nuked", the whole world would support the "de-nukification" of Iran and all other states.\n\nEqual Opprtunity World.\n\nI hate nuclear anything, wether it be weapons, or even nuclear energy (because of things like Chernoble and other world wide radiation leaks). But Nuclear research does come up with good scientific advances that Iran deserves as a Soveirgn Nation. (Micro Engineering stuff)

hope full it want come to that, however the only way to insure that Iran's nuclear capability it completely erased is to use a small tactual nuke. it would be kinda a bunker buster and while it would re lase radiation it wouldnt be a huge amount.

It is evident that Iran's efforts are focused both on uranium enrichment and a parallel plutonium effort. Iran claims it is trying to establish a complete nuclear fuel cycle to support a civilian energy program, but this same fuel cycle would be applicable to a nuclear weapons development program. Iran appears to have spread their nuclear activities around a number of sites to reduce the risk of detection or attack. \n\nIran does not currently have nuclear weapons, and would appear to be about two years away from acquiring nuclear weapons. By some time in 2006, however, Iran could be producting fissile material for atomic bombs using both uranium enriched at Natanz and plutonium produced at Arak. The Natanz facility might produce enough uranium for about five bombs every year, and the Arak facility might produced enough plutonium for as many as three bombs every year.

Well Britain , Australia , the US have shown that they\nare responsible with their nukes and will not use them to kill million of people however Iran is different. The President of Iran had said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the planet> I don't know about you but I don't trust nuclear technology to a person who goals is to wipe another country out of existence.He had apparently said that the world will end in three years and his goal is to bring chaos and destruction to the world to bring about \nthe reign of a Muslim prophet . This Prophet will make the world an Islamics world- Can you trust a guy who said all that with nukes??\n\n there a different process to transform Uranium to\nuse for Power than for weapon . the problem is that Iran\nrefused Russia offer to enrich Uranium for them to make sure it wont be used for WMD. .This is a compromise agreed on by the UN to let Iran have nuclear power for energy consummation. Why? the obvious reason is the want nuclear grade uranium for WMD.

No they shouldn't.\n\nIf they can't be fair to IRAN about nuclear technology, than that makes them hypocrites.

twin,\n\nI certainly hope not.\n\nNothing that cannot be solved by a couple of well-placed smart munitions, however.\n\nThe U.S. and the world is right to be concerned about the likes of their ayatollah with nuclear capabilities.  The Iranians are unstable, led by an unstable person.  Who would feel safe with a maniac with a nuke button?

Man, tell me honestly, do you really want Iran to have nuclear weapons. Forget your equality crap and think logically, do you really want Iran, who wants to kill you, to aquire nuclear weaponery??\nAlso, I think you're a bit misinformed since Pakistan has had a nuclear weapon program since the '70s, claimed they had the technology in the early '80s, and it's main supplier was China, NOT the US.

I think so. Iran is just advancing in chemical technology, just like Russia, India and Israel.
