In reply to the discussion: Iran has enough uranium for five nuclear weapons, claims US thinktank [View all]JackRiddler
(24,979 posts)The rogue state of Israel flouts international law with its settlements on occupied territory and many atrocities committed against the captive people of the Palestinian territories. Unlike Iran, Israel has started wars on its neighbors several times. The Israeli government regularly threatens to launch an unprovoked war on Iran. Israel possesses 150-400 nuclear weapons, depending on the estimate. It does not allow international inspections of its program (unlike Iran) and is not a signatory to the NPT. Given its history of aggression, Israel presents the world's greatest threat by far to engage in first use of nuclear weapons. Even if it had a nuclear weapon, Iran would never assure its own immediate total destruction through first use. All this is elementary and known to the world, and disputed seriously only within the bizarre bubble of American politics.
