NATO did Libya...
US led NATO
The US and a coalition did Iraq.
US did it in 1991 and in 2003. Without US leading the charge no one else would have done it either
The majority of Iran's neighbors don't want them to have Nukes. If Iran so much as farts wrong they'll know how General Custer felt.
Iran fears US invasion as the US has a history of attacking middle eastern countries
Operation Odyssey Dawn was the U.S. code name[Note 1] for the US part of the international military operation in Libya to enforce United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.[8][9][10][11][12] during the initial period of 19–31 March 2011, which continued afterwards under NATO command as Operation Unified Protector.

Another warmongering jew who wants us Americans to die for Israel. This is not about a nuclear threat. It is about weakening the neighbors of Israel. This 'intel' is the same kind of 'intel' that made us walk into Iraq just to find potato canons, dust and death.

Are you a nuclear energy expert? Have you ever taken classes on nuclear physics?
Even if they enrich beyond what is required for energy so what? It is their right to do whatever they want
Israel got their a**es kicked in Lebanon in 2006 by Hezbollah, that's exactly who will attack immediately after Israel thinks it can attack Iran with no blow back.
You do realize Israel is in an oil rich region.

Well...here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for. Iran is now saying that they are working on a Nuclear-Powered Submarine.
This is more propaganda put forth by the MSM to justify a war in Iran.
Israel has been raising concerns for more than six months that Iran might cite submarine work as a justification for producing highly enriched uranium. On Tuesday, Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon again stressed his government's position that Iran not be allowed to maintain any enrichment capabilities on its soil.
edit on 6/12/2012 by SUICIDEHK45 because: words
Exactly "here it is"
I seem to remember all you guys saying they would never enrich uranium beyond 20% because its just "propaganda" to start a war, you'll be standing there when they have 90% saying the same thing
In fact you'll be standing there saying Iran would never Nuke Israel when you see a blinding flash
Similar people said the same thing in Europe in the 1940s
I think personally all you guys should write your names down on a list that you're in favour of Iran having nuclear warheads in a region that has been on the boil for over 2.000yrs, just so we know who to blame for this idiocy, and perhaps even a public shooting to eradicate the stupid gene from the pool altogether, with 100% of the human race having common sense we might actually get somewhere

Russia and China have said a move on Iran would be a move on them. I am not talking about irans domestic capability, but what its allies bring to the table
ALL TALK!
Everyone knows the outcome of a conflict between two nuclear nations; life as we know it (for everyone on the globe) would be over. They’re not willing to risk it. Hence the decades of proxy wars.

Nuclear - Powered subs are not a danger to anyone in the world right now, well besides the the Nazi state of USA's fleet.
Care to elaborate on the “nazi” tendencies of the US?
What country has been a greater example of freedom than US? Maybe Iran?
Iran saying they are producing a Nuclear sub is that a real threat?
Better look closer at your own back yard here boys and girls.
Iran with nuclear ANYTHING is a threat because they’ve proven their intent. Care to explain why they violated the NPT? Do you know what the NPT is?
That is where the problem is and will be for a long time.
God I really hate to say this because I know I will be labeled anti American, Well depending on how you look at it
I just may be.
Then again I feel I am not anti American but I am definitely Anti American military and big time too.
You are anti-American simply because you automatically talk smack about the US while ignoring the topic of the OP, and you can’t distinguish between American ideals and NWO actions.

Why would nuclear powered subs need higher enrichment than a nuclear power plant? I admit I know nothing about nuclear subs, but shouldn't they work the same way?
Small design.smaller package meaning the fuel needed would have to be able to produce more power hence "enriched".
Great Iran wants a nuclear sub nuclear power for peace eh?
A sub is used only for one thing.

Speaking of responsible, the USA was the ONLY country to use nuclear weapons in war.
Semantics key word choice there "in war" even tho all nuclear power have used nukes in power and successful detonation tests to be used for what purpose?
To kill people but then agian the topic is about Iran and it's pursuit of a nuclear sub nice deflection attempt,.
Which still doesn't change the face that Irans wants the Bomb the nuclear bomb to be used against it's "enemies"
Oh and while we are on this topic if IRan thinks that having nukes will protect them against "foreign attacks" well sure the hell hasn't saved Pakistan.edit on 12-6-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

1. Then why in the 34+ past years haven't the US taken Iran out?
2. Why wait until they get nukes to take out Iran?
3. Why hasn't the US taken Iran out over a good deal of evidence of their covert activities all around the region?
4. Why hasn't the US taken Iran out for their funding of groups who fought and killed US service men in Iraq?
Russia wasn't in their corner until fairly recently. So what has prevented the US from taking Iran out when we went into Iraq and Afghanistan?
If the US really wanted Iran gone it would have done so a long time ago or at least as recently as 9/11.edit on 12-6-2012 by SLAYER69 because: (no reason given)

Secondly the USA was already engaged with Iraq and Afghanistan and unable to fight Iran all at once and the situation would have been more complex at that time.
I'm not advocating an attack on Iran but that argument doesn't hold water. In Gulf War -I The US alone deployed over 545,000 troops to the region. In Gulf War-II we had a little over 165,000 in Iraq and around 34,000 in Afghanistan. [Presently around 88,000 in the Stan] = 253,000 subtract that from Gulf war - I figures that leaves over 292,000 US boots on the ground for Iran.
Nor does your argument address the question of why in the 34+ years since the regime took power the US hasn't cleaned their clocks. I mean after all of all the Middle East countries Iran has been the most outspoken.
As I have stated they are laying the groundwork, or could it be that the USA does not want to fight a multiple front war at the same time.
We were already fighting multiple front wars. Iraq and Afghanistan....
Secondly there is no proof of Iran funding groups that killed US service men in Iraq, I might be mistaken though
Yes, You are.
Now lets ask the question why would iran fund groups to cause turmoil in iraq? How about because if the situation in iraq was 100% on par with US schedule then they may attack Iran. Iran may have been attempting to delay an attack on itself.
Nice pipe dream.
The fact remains they trained, funded and even participated in attacks on US personal in Iraq and many Iranians covertly fighting in Iraq never made it home. I wonder what excuses their Government made why many of their sons never returned home.edit on 12-6-2012 by SLAYER69 because: (no reason given)

Yeah let's see how things would have played out if the US didn't intervene in WWI, WWII, Korea, The Cold War etc etc etc ....
The world as you know it and the rights you enjoy wouldn't exist, You'd either be speaking German or Russian and either a slave to the NAZI's or the Communist Reds.
Take your pick
Adm. Zamini "further reminded that using nuclear power to fuel submarines is among the civilian uses of the nuclear technology and all countries are, thus, entitled to the right to make such a use," the report said.
