I don't get the EU's position. They have some mechanism in place now that allows the EU to deal with Iran regardless of sanctions. But as usual they only talk, but don't act fast enough. It is up to the EU to keep Iran from enriching.

I think Russia, Syria and Iran should found an anti-Nato so to speak, a Eurasian defense organization, maybe even including China, Turkey, and others in the long term.
Iran is not going to attack us, I wish Trump well getting China and Russia to sign onto a new agreement when we backed out of this one.

Iran has no history of attacking anyone, they always get attacked. So they should find ways to defend themselves against fascist Arabs and others.

There is nothing wrong with the existing agreement, China and Russia should not sign any new agreement, nor the EU.
To the contrary, the EU should set everyone a tight deadline in the UN: by a given date the Middle-East conflict - the ultimate cause of Iran's activities - must be solved in a way everyone including Palestinians can live with happily, else there will be harsh sanctions and boycotts on everyone involved.

Jared Kushner released his peace plan, we are well on our way to a solution.:

I just know that Tom Cotton has a great plan.

Iran breaks nuclear deal and puts pressure on EU over sanction - The Guardian
The “other countries” aren’t gonna do foghole about it.

Its not our job to keep Iran in line. Let Israel or Saudi Arabia handle it. They have more money, and could hire a lethal military if needed.

If only there was some way we could get the Iranians to limit their nuclear enrichment. An agreement of some sorts between our allies and Iran’s to monitor their program...

The Fear is strong with this one.

There's no such thing as a "dirty bomb."

The whole "dirty bomb" thing was invented by a security guard who doesn't know squat about bombs, and the Media seized on it to fear-monger and then the government followed suit.

Obviously, there's some part of "half-life" that you don't understand.

The half-life of U238 is roughly 1 Billion years.

Yes, U238 is toxic, but only because it's a heavy metal, not because it's radioactive.

Also, I'm guessing you're totally unaware that the boiling point of Uranium is roughly 7,500°F.

I mention that, because being the explosive expert that you are, you'll probably want to know exactly which explosives are capable of generating that amount of heat and which aren't (because not all of them do).

They were talking about U235.
