You should know this because one of the reasons Trump’s been trying to use to justify this war is that Iran never said they wouldn’t pursue nuclear weapons.
You could say the fatwa is just talk but there’s a strategic argument for Iran to not get nuclear weapons besides the moral case. Iran doesn’t want to get nukes and become a pariah state like North Korea and cut itself off from global trade, they’re a Petro state they need trade. At the same time they don’t want Israel and the US to be able to bomb them with impunity. So their best strategy is to remain close to building a bomb, that way they can get sanctions relief while being able to dash for a bomb and nuclear deterrence in the case of a war.
If they had a nuke, America wouldn’t have fucked with them for the past 40 years

Iran doesn’t want to get nukes
You think a religious dude that just gunned down tens of thousands of his own people is honest?

Iran has repeatedly denied access to International Nuclear Inspectors:

I don’t like Trump. I don’t like Netanyahu. I don’t like this stupid war.
But this idea that Iran just isn’t interested in nukes is a joke. They have been absorbing crippling sanctions to enrich uranium far-above civilian grade.
Yes the Ayatollah massacred his own people, but that sadly is the logical move for an authoritarian regime. Building nukes and making the sanctions that cripple the economy which created the unrest permanent is not the best strategic move, as mentioned above. They want to get a deal done, it’s just trump / neta yahu will take nothing but complete capitulation.
They’re enriching uranium and denying inspectors because the US dropped out of the deal and they’re trying to bring them to the table. If the US is going to impose sanctions and put pressure on them they have to put pressure back on the US . Otherwise the US can just sit back and wait for the regime to collapse under the weight of crippling sanctions.
Under the JCPOA Iran never failed an inspection, it wasn’t until Trump dropped out of the deal that they stopped allowing them in, and if another deal is reached there’s no reason to believe that they’ll violate it.
If you look at the iranian regime as rational actors instead of crazy religious fanatics then all this starts to make sense. They can’t afford to be crazy religious fanatics, they have to make the best strategic moves because their regime is teetering under the weight of both external and internal pressures. The fact they’ve managed to survive this long is a testament to their capabilities. This is not to say their regime is good in a moralistic sense, it’s not, only that it’s good at keeping power.
Basically:
Israel since 1990s: “Iran is weeks away from Nuking us!”
Iran: “We could have Nuked Israel if really wanted”
Hmmh. I’ve heard the argument before, that they’re better off almost having nuclear weapons. But it that really the case? I mean North Korea is kind of an outliar. Lots of other countries have nuclear weapons as well, France, China… and none of them is a pariah. So I’m not sure if that’s even true. Usually more weapons is more better. Or so they say.
Edit: But we’re arguing logic here. And oftentimes politics isn’t as straightforward. I mean I don’t think we know the truth anyway. It’s completely unclear to me as an average citizen if they were close to nukes, if that’s even the biggest issue and reason for this. For all I know everyone could be lying or framing things, including following more than one motive.
Nukes, I think, are not the reason for this ruthless attack. I just talked about the Ayatollah not wanting to have a Rothschild-run central bank (though the Jesuits run them through the Rothschild family).
Just like with WMDs, which was found to be Hussein not wanting to be enslaved by a Jesuit financial sector.
I strongly doubt this war is about who’s on the board of some state owned financial institute. I mean even if that conspiracy were true, where’s the bombing of like 120 other countries out of the roughly 195 we have on the planet?
From what I was reading, only 172 can be safe in this world government structure. Another 21 have got to go (and it looks like Iran might be one of those 21 countries outside of that infrastructure).
I watched too much Star Trek when I was young. I think 195 have to go. All humans should unite and reach for the stars, instead of some stupid in-fighting, killing each other, and burning down of wealth because of bigotry.
(Edit: I live in a big melting pot. I have enough people from Syria, Iran… and “white” people around me. And I can tell you, we all have the same goals in life, we enjoy similar things, are family fathers who all want to see their kids prosper, fight the same struggles in our lives… There’s zero reason to focus on destruction and small-mindedness. We should do better. And invest the same energy into useful things. That goes for the average people. Not the ruling class. Those -of course- are motivated to disunite and stay in business.)
I’ve learned about the supposed fatwa recently.
However… the real reason Trump is being used to target Iran is because the Ayatollah didn’t want a Jesuit and/or Rothschild-run central bank (like how the Fed is run by the Jesuits). Any country that doesn’t do this is the target of war.
Fun fact: Rothschild is not the real surname of the family, but Bauer instead.
STFU
