Prime Minister Mark Carney argues the war against Iran was justified because it halted Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. The evidence, Ted Snider writes, suggests otherwise. Iran was not building a bomb, diplomacy had already achieved major concessions, and the war inflicted immense human, economic, and environmental costs.

    They have made it clear they do not want weapons.

    Yes they’ve SAID that, but do you make it a habit to believe what authoritarians say?

    You NEED purified and enriched uranium (to a point) for fuel grade stuff,

    No civilian reactor needs uranium purified to more than 5%. They’ve purified uranium to 60%. Also the uranium they import from Russia is already purified to the level needed by their one civilian nuclear reactor. Any uranium purification happening in Iran is for a nuclear weapons program.

    I hate Trump and Netanyahu too, but if they say the sky is blue, do you automatically have to agree with someone that says the sky is green?

    The states purpose of this is that after 1979 Israel wanted Iran to be a failed stated like they did to Iraq and Syria.

    Yeah no shit. Just as Iran wants Israel to be a failed state. That’s how shit works with adversaries.
