"Blackgate prisoners are roaming free"

They could have a nuclear bomb 5 years ago if they wanted to. Enrichment is not some sort of video game loading screen, where they inch closer and closer to 90%. They have all the capabilities of enriching at 90% and building a bomb if they wanted.

If Iran wanted to build a nuclear weapon they could kick out the IAEA and build one tomorrow, like North Korea did. Or they could do what Israel India and Pakistan did when they wanted nukes, and simply never signed the NPT.

People seem to forget that Iran willingly signed the NPT allowing inspections in the first place. There was no need for them to do that, as it is not illegal for a country to build nuclear bombs. That's why Israel Pakistan and India have them. It is only illegal if you agree not to build them by signing the NPT.

The idea that Iran signed the NPT 20 years ago and has allowed endless sanctions to build the slowest nuclear bomb in the history of nuclear arms is ridiculous. Less technologically advanced countries were building nuclear bombs 50,60, 70 years ago.

Like most headlines on the subject this one is worded to make you think that Iran was caught doing something and confessed. There was nothing to catch them and nothing to confess to; they broadcasted the move and have been for several months now. The IAEA is actively monitoring their program, it wasn't an accusation it was a statement of fact.

Iran's facilities are being monitored by the IAEA. There's nothing for them to acknowledge. This headline makes it seem like they're confessing to something, but it was done openly and in plain view of the nuclear monitors.

People seem to think that nuclear enrichment is a loading screen, now that they've done 84%, they're going to be close to getting to 90%. That's not how it works. Iran has been able to enrich 90% for a decade at least. They have never done so. Most people think that their nuclear program is on some sort of breakneck race to get to 90% and start building a bomb...that's just not true.

If Iran wanted to build a nuclear weapon they could kick out the IAEA and build one tomorrow, like North Korea did. Or they could do what Israel India and Pakistan did when they wanted nukes, and simply never signed the NPT.

They have no reason to invite the IAEA into their country while simultaneously trying to build nuclear bombs under their nose. Any country in the world that wanted to do it could do it easier.

Unfortunately that this psycho is back in power. He did everything he could to end the Iran nuclear deal that has been pushing for a war for the better part of 20 years.

I mean multiple sites in Iran were all attacked, so it's likely.

It's also much more likely tied to the October Surprise conspiracy theory, and that Reagan negotiated with the Iranians behind Carter's back, an attempt to dissuade them from releasing the hostages before the election so that Carter wouldn't be boosted in the polls.

When the conspiracy theory initially came out, people said it was crazy, even though the Iranians who were in charge all said they had an agreement with Reagan. When Iran Contra was exposed a year or two later, it added a lot of credibility to something people had already forgotten about.
