Christ... Iran is a big boy nation. Let them handle the nukes and if they do something stupid with them, they'll answer for it. It's not like they're gonna use them. Because they know if they shoot at one of our allies, Tehran will be a pile of rubble within a week. They may want to hurt us or Israel or whoever, but they aren't completely stupid.

Really? After they've wiped out 2/3's of the World's population. You're kidding yourself....but not sapient ones. WISE folks realize and KNOW THE TRUTH.

Different type of nuclear material needed for military use compared to civilian unless you are building a dirty bomb.

And Iraq doesn't continue to be?

Seems to me if Iraq was easy, considering the huge investment in blood and $$$, we would have seen some benefit to the US by now.

Don't complain when they also make life difficult for you.

When did Iran wipe out 2/3 of the world population?

Default STUNNING: U.S. agrees to let Iran get the Bomb gradually in phased-in program

Next, these people will announce a "compromise" with terrorists. They won't be allowed to crash planes into our buildings for ten years, but then they can crash a few per year after that.

What are these people trying to accomplish, exactly???

This can't be happening.

Historic US-Iran nuclear deal could be taking shape

Historic US-Iran nuclear deal could be taking shape

Associated Press
By GEORGE JAHN and BRADLEY KLAPPER
20 hours ago

GENEVA (AP) — Edging toward a historic compromise, the U.S. and Iran reported progress Monday on a deal that would clamp down on Tehran's nuclear activities for at least 10 years but then slowly ease restrictions on programs that could be used to make atomic arms.

Still, a comprehensive pact could ease 35 years of U.S-Iranian enmity — and seems within reach for the first time in more than a decade of negotiations.

"We made progress," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said as he bade farewell to members of the American delegation at the table with Iran.

The core idea would be to reward Iran for good behavior over the last years of any agreement, gradually lifting constraints on its uranium enrichment and slowly easing economic sanctions.

Iran says it does not want nuclear arms and needs enrichment only for energy, medical and scientific purposes, but the U.S. fears Tehran could re-engineer the program to produce the fissile core of a nuclear weapon.

The U.S. initially sought restrictions lasting up to 20 years; Iran has pushed for less than a decade. The prospective deal appears to be somewhere in the middle.

One variation being discussed would place at least a 10-year regime of strict controls on Iran's uranium enrichment. If Iran complied, the restrictions would be gradually lifted over the final five years.

One issue critics are certain to focus on: Once the deal expired, Iran could theoretically ramp up enrichment to whatever level it wanted.

Experts say Iran already could produce the equivalent of one weapon's worth of enriched uranium with its present operating 10,000 centrifuges. Several officials spoke of 6,500 centrifuges as a potential point of compromise

Looks like most people don't have much to say about this.

Some folks didn't want Iran to get the Bomb, ever.

Iran wanted to get it right away.

Is it a "reasonable compromise" suitable to all sides, to let them get it over ten or fifteen years?
