Do you have inside information about Iran's nuclear weapons RinseAndRepeat?

Genuinely interested because I haven't a clue whether Iran was near being able to produce nuclear weapons.

I just can’t believe some of the things you say growstuff that are totally ‘out there’ where facts are concerned.
Iran isn’t and hasn’t softened its attitude towards women and clothing, but do go on saying how Iran is ‘changing’ if only for amusement value.

Does that justify bombing them?

A ‘friend’ in the USA tore a strip of me for criticising the election of Trump, telling me I had no business in commenting on their political choices as it had nothing to do with the rest of the world . This was an ex pat. Unbelievable- every decision USA ( Trump) makes impacts on the rest of the world. He pulled out of the nuclear agreement with Iran last time round and now he is bombing them. The Iranian dictatorship is a nightmare but obliteration never lasts does it? We learn nothing from history and Trump especially is so egotistical he will listen to no one. Yes he would start a 3rd World War - to be honest do we not have that in some form already ? We just have not taken the step to all out war . Will it come ? Well it feels closer now than ever . Civilians will suffer as ever and meanwhile all the other wars rage on. Israel will be constantly at war forever.

Oh yes, it has! Frankly, I don't care whether you believe me.

Go on! Have a laugh Oreo!

growstuff that report is titled What to wear in Iran in 2021

Things have moved on dramatically since then.

Oreo Sun 22-Jun-25 17:22:21

Cry rather than laugh tbh.
Girls and women required to cover just about every part of the body.Hijabs on heads, long sleeves, long jacket to cover waist, long trousers/ jeans that must go down to the ankles.
Some very brave young women have tried to buck the system but beatings and possible rapes are the outcome by their oppressive regime.

Bombing their nuclear sites has been done for other reasons as am sure you know.

I think that Iranian women's fashion today is immaterial. They will have even more to worry about.

AGAA4 Sun 22-Jun-25 17:27:06

Pardon the pun.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 22-Jun-25 17:27:51

To be honest I am totally dismayed and disgusted that posters seem to be pro Iranian culture, really?

I think it may only be one wink

Oreo Sun 22-Jun-25 17:30:18

Or if it’s more, it’s just that it’s then anti Israel and anti Trump.
The thinking doesn’t go deeper.

Where has anyone said they are pro Iranian culture?

You are right here, ad for very good reasons, as they are the very dangerous ones putting the whole world at risk now. Netanyahu has wanted to attack Iran, and has warned of imminent access to nuclear weapons, for 20+ years.

Grantanow Sun 22-Jun-25 17:43:15

Absolutely right, RinseandRepeat.

David49 Sun 22-Jun-25 17:43:56

Personally I don’t care how Iran, Afghhanistan , China or any one else treats its own citizens. I do object to them sponsoring terrorism across the world and building a Nuclear weapon to threaten others with.
There is no doubt in my mind that is what they were aiming at why else would they build nuclear processing facilities deep inside a mountain and deny inspectors access. If they were genuinely innocent of that why not allow open inspections, I’m pleased the US taken action because Israel would eventually have used a nuclear weapon to do the same job

Claremont Sun 22-Jun-25 17:44:32

Perfectly show here- Netanyahu, repeatly warning about imminent threat of Iranian nuclear weapons, with diagrams and all sorts, again, and again, and again some more, since 2012.

It is copied from FB, but available to all- and shows Netanyahu giving those warnings- so not made up.

I couldn't believe that he'd actually done this. Mind you, if you've presented yourself as the Tough Guy leader, respected but feared who speaks softly but carries a big stick , you must, when challenged, be prepared to use The Stick.You otherwise risk identifying yourself as a Paper Tiger.
I think Mr Trump has been trapped by his own publicity.
More's the pity and the danger for the world.
My money is on the next step being more hostage-taking, unfortunately.

As well as torture and the death penalty for defying the compulsory ceiling laws.

Persia was a cultured civilised country years ago.
The country did have huge problems but nothing to what is happening now.

Perhaps some posters are unaware of what has been happening there, Oreo.

Claremont Sun 22-Jun-25 18:15:37

On BBC News just now 'this is Netanyahu's war, he has wanted to do this for decades'

We are totally aware- you can't go bombing countries to oblivion and escalate a possible world war, because of internal cultural reasons.
