[h=1]Iran says it will break uranium stockpile limit in 10 days[/h]Iran says it will break uranium stockpile limit in 10 daysTEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran will break the uranium stockpile limit set by Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in the next 10 days, the spokesman for the country’s atomic agency said Monday while also warning that Iran could enrich uranium up to 20% — just a step away from weapons-grade levels.


The announcement by Behrouz Kamalvandi, timed for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, puts more pressure on Europe to come up with new terms for Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal.


The deal has steadily unraveled since the Trump administration pulled America out of the accord last year and re-imposed tough economic sanctions on Iran, deeply cutting into its sale of crude oil abroad and sending its economy into freefall. Europe has so far been unable to offer Iran a way around the U.S. sanctions.

So.... do Trump supporters remember three years ago, laughing :lamo at us who were opposing Trump and deeply concerned that "Trump will start WW3"? You laughed :lamo but we knew there were at least several paths that he would possibly follow to produce a potential nuclear conflict. It could have come from N. Korea, Russia or Iran. Are you still laughing? :lamoDo you still think it's not possible that's where Trump is leading the US?

The thing is, the danger increases with every day that Trump is feeling the threat of the 'dirty disgusting 'I' word' and he's going to take this country dangerously closer to an armed military conflict with Iran. Just about every Republican president in recent history has gotten us into a new war. Trump opposed the Iraq war, as many Democrats did. Trump was a Democrat in 2003. Why is he so anxious to get us into a war with Iran. I can say unequivocally that a war with Iran will be nothing at all like the war with Iraq.... not even close. Iran is a highly sophisticated, extremely powerful country with factions of their power spreading out like tendrils all throughout the Middle East.

Trump's motivation for following the direction of Bolton and Pompeo is simple, it takes the focus off all of the different investigations going on. John Bolton and Mike Pompeo want a regime change in Iran, and that's simply not going to happen without significance global involvement and global disaster.

When you have a wimp in power like any Democrat who will show weakness that is what will lead us to war. Our enemies thrive on our weakness. Criminals, terrorist, and rogue nations love to take advantage of you people.

Trump on the other hand has rebuilt our military and empowered them to do their jobs. He is unpredictable and much less accommodating to the evil forces in this world. Nobody wants to mess with us.

You people thought Trump would lead us to war day one. You were wrong!
 
So Iran will hage nuclear weapons, the Saudis are soon to buy them from Trump, and everyone has ignored that Israel has had them for decades.

This should end well.

So, in your opinion, you don't see Iran's plan to escalate enriching Uranium above weapon's grade levels? The Iran Nuclear Treaty was perhaps one of the most brilliant, innovative and fair treaty for the US, Iran and all of Europe. Now Trump has totally ****ed up everything and the nuclear proliferation of Iran is going to go full speed now.
 
You think it's better to let Iran build up it's economy and slowly prepare their nuclear arsenal for when the treaty is over in less than ten years? I guess you people think the world is gonna end in 10 years because of climate change anyway so might as well kick this issue down the road as you folks like to do.

Unfortunately, since the US broke this deal, we're in no position to object if Iran follows our lead.

Breaking the Iran Nuclear Treaty was just about the worst thing the US could have done, not only for us but for our allies in Europe. And it's all because of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo's intense desire for a regime change in Iran.

So Iran is telling the Nations who are still part of the deal to go screw themselves?

What do you think those Nations should do?

*Iran Nuclear Treaty*

It wasn't a "treaty", it was an agreement. That's a hell of a difference HumblePi.

*most brilliant, innovative and fair*

And if it was all that ^^^^ Obama woulda, shoulda, coulda taken it to the Senate for confirmation.

The treaty was weak and poorly done. Terms like "brilliant" and "Innovative" don't describe it. Neither does 'effective'.

Keep in mind that both Iran and others agreed to maintain the terms of the treaty, so technically, it's still in effect. The criticism was that the monitoring and enforcement were weak, and that Iran could develop it's program around it. Now apparently they are within steps of just ignoring it.

It should have been reviewed by the Senate. But Obama knew that wasn't going to work out for him, especially the part about sending $90B on a C-17. :lol:

Do you really believe that a peaceful agreement between Iran, the US and our European allies was easy to negotiate and come to mutually acceptable terms? It literally was an alternative to all-out war. The alternative to war had already been reached with the Iran Nuclear treaty in 2015. Hassan Rouhani has been the President of Iran since August 2013. He was also a lawyer, academic, former diplomat and Islamic cleric. It was only through the efforts of both Rouhani and Takht Ravanchi, who is Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations, that made it possible to work with the US and our allies in Europe to formulate the nuclear treaty. It was the first time in decades, since the 1980's, that the US was able to reach an agreement with Iran rather than resorting to escalating military tensions.

For years the pressure of sanctions on Iran and their economy became so great that when Rhouhani became President of Iran, he was empowered to negotiate a nuclear deal. Rouhani's goal was to relieve pressure on the economy of Iran and that was accomplished through the nuclear treaty. For years the U.S. had negotiated with other countries, all the powers of the world, as to the limits that would be placed on Iran's nuclear proliferation.

The European efforts over the last year since Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran are unraveling quickly. Trump has been stacking up sanctions on Iran and designating them as a terrorist country --although Japan is asking for more proof that it was indeed Iran who bombed their freighters. The Europeans are trying to get Iran to stay with the deal, at least until the next US presidential election. The hard liners in Iran are saying 'we need to do something about this now'. President Rouhani's promised goal at the beginning of the nuclear deal was to relieve pressure on Iran's economy, and instead got an even worse economy because of the sanctions Trump has stacked up since he ended the deal. The problem is this is what we've always said, that you either have a nuclear deal such as the one that was in place, or you're stuck in a position where Iran is once again escalating their nuclear program and we have to make a choice of whether or not to use a military option. Unfortunately, because of the way Trump has handled this, we're completely isolated from our closest allies in the world.

Trump promised two things when he backed out of the Iran nuclear deal. He promised that leaving the deal would put the US in a stronger position to pressure them on the nuclear deal, he also said it would change their behavior in the region, and we've seen just the opposite. Now it looks like they're restarting their nuclear program.The maximum pressure campaign they've had with Iran isn't working. So what choices does the US have? Do we try to negotiate a diplomatic agreement with Iran or do we go down the path of escalation that risks a very significant war?

This boils down to the fundamental credibility of the United States. When a new US president comes in and just decides to break that treaty, it completely isolates a guy like Rouhani who is in power, and he begins to listen to the hard-liners in Iran who say "See? We were wrong to trust diplomacy, we were wrong to trust the U.S. Now, let's do it our way." This leaves all our allies fuming at the fact that the US has precipitated the very crisis that the Iran nuclear treaty was meant to avoid.

There are two factions in Iran alone but there's many others in the broader web of Iranian influence in the Middle East, but in Iran itself there's the Supreme Leader, Rouhani and then there's the Revolutionary guard which sometimes seems to be independent players themselves. The Revolutionary Guard is completely comfortable with this position since it has been their position with the US for many years. So there's two separate groups that want to pursue different paths with the US.

When Trump pulled out of the nuclear agreement he said that it was because Iran was lying, but he never really convinced anyone with evidence that Iran lied and our allies don't trust it to be true. He's going to have to present more evidence of that to our allies. There has to be some kind of international investigation brought to the United Nations but which Trump is not willing to do. Iranians have reached the limit of their frustrations. Now they're testing as to how far they can go and we're caught in the middle of escalation. Bolton and Pompeo, going by their history, both want regime change in Iran, they want to start a war. Every Republican administration in recent history has started a war. Jim Mattis was strongly opposed to the US pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, that's why we have no Secretary of Defense to this day and it allows Bolton and Pompeo to take over and do whatever they want.

Do you honestly believe that the intention of Iran to increase their weapon grade Uranium is something to take lightly? You may be flippant about many things Trump is responsible for, but this thing with Iran is not one to take lightly.
