Refining nuclear materials is really not that complicated. I mean it's just, well, refining, while being safe about radiation. The only reason iran doesn't have nuclear weapons is because they don't want to. Which means they decided to abide by the nonproliferation treaties they signed. And since the US didn't, we now get to see how everyone else who signed one behaves. Yaaaaay.
If they don't want, or treat with wanting, why are they refining all that fissile material then?
They do want the bomb
For fuel for electricity generation, as explicitly allowed in the treaties.
Then why go over a couple of percent of refinement? There is no other reason than to make weapon grade uranium. At 60 percent they are not "2 weeks from a bomb" but they are fucking far from 3-4% that is used for civil energy generation.
Did they go to 60%? Verified by the UN? I wasn't aware of that...
Well you are now, and even 20% means they want to at least pretend to work towards an atomic bomb.
You surely have a link to the un report...
Nice sealioning. Show me they stayed under 4% smarty.
2 weeks away from nuclear weapons since the 70's
I didn't say that though.
Does it fuck you in the ass?
What is this 6 yo rhetoric lol, go back to kindergarten.
It sure does but I don't judge you
Are you okay?
Thanks Benjamin.
