Obama approved giving Iran 116 metric tons of uranium as a ‘thank you’ gift

a reply to: Phage

I did, Obama administration agreed to this, and the President is Obama, an agreement such as this one can only go through if Obama agrees with it.

a reply to: JeremySun

The uranium is in the US

False.

So, Trump will attack the other four countries that agreed to the transfer?

Not likely but he could. Words matter big fish.

a reply to: ElectricUniverse

Are you sure about that?

President Obama approved the transfer of 116 metric tons of plutonium to Iran from Russia. That's enough plutonium for 10 nuclear bombs

^^^^The above^^^ from Phage's post. (Emphasis mine, material not.)

Uh,plutonium is TRANSURANIC, therefore, NOT NATURALLY OCCURRING! That much plutonium would have gone beyond critical in less than a second! Plutonium is made in 'breeder' reactors running on uranium-238. One could fashion several THOUSAND atomic or thermonuclear devices with 116 metric tons of plutonium! WTF kind of news source did this little copy & paste come from?

U-235 can be extracted from natural uranium. That's what "enrichment" is.
Iran is not allowed to do that to the level of weapons grade material.

Because they signed a piece of paper.

a reply to: Teikiatsu
Yes. And the uranium will be tracked. Per that piece of paper.

a reply to: Teikiatsu

Signed but not ratified. Iran is still secretly making nukes underground. The Ayatollah has sworn to wipe Israel off the map.

Signed but not ratified

Not required.

a reply to: Phage

Without ratification a signature is worth nothing. The US never ratified Kyoto protocol even though it signed.

False. The Iran deal is not a treaty.

a reply to: Phage

So it is useless. Ayatollah is still making nukes to nuke Israel.

a reply to: JeremySun

Ayatollah is still making nukes to nuke Israel.

Nope.

a reply to: Phage

How do you know? Iran is an extremely religious state that views Israel as an illegal state.

a reply to: JeremySun

How do you know?

How do you know that Iran is building nuclear weapons?

Iran is an extremely religious state that views Israel as an illegal state.

Yes. I know. And Israel does not recognize Palestine as a state at all. So what?

a reply to: Phage

Then why does Iran need uranium? They do not use nuclear power plants. They want to build nukes to nuke Israel for religious reasons.

a reply to: JeremySun

They do not use nuclear power plants.

Actually, they have one plant and will be building more.

a reply to: Phage

That plant was never finished due to sanction following the 1979 revolution.

How do you know?

You're the one making the ridiculous claims. So you should be the one providing the proof of "how you know".

Iran is an extremely religious state that views Israel as an illegal state.

Hmm, the last time I checked, didn't Israel consider itself a Jewish nation? And one of the reasons they don't want more Palestinians to become citizens (like the millions of Palestinian refugees from the Nakba) is because it would damage the Jewish identity of Israel? Or are we supposed to forget about that?

Besides, the Ayatollah's said several times and even issued a fatwa that says Iran won't have nuclear weapons because if violates their interpretation of Islam. So how can you claim that them being extremely religious backs up your claim when their supreme religious figure has outlawed those very weapons? In other words, if they're "extremely religious" as you say, they'll follow their leader and won't pursue nukes.
