In reply to the discussion: Iran calls Natanz atomic site blackout 'nuclear terrorism' [View all]MosheFeingold
(3,051 posts)29. The Iranian mullahs
Are in a bit of a quandary.
They claim they have no enrichment going on (because the sole purpose is weaponry), and yet are forced to complain that somebody broke their enrichment.
As to whether Israel has the moral right to have The Bomb, I leave that to the bigger thinkers. I do know they've had The Bomb for 60+ years and haven't killed anyone with it. And I know the Iranian mullahs are bat shit crazy and evil and will use their bombs just as soon as they can.
So any delay is good. I don't care from who or (too much) how.

Because their enemy has them. Why does the US have nuclear weapons, because our enemies have them.
