My apologies, I genuinely did not know the exact ethnic makeup of Iran and thought that the country largely still identified with wider Arabic culture. I looked into it and did see that was an incorrect assumption on my behalf due to their geographical location. I appreciate you correcting me on that, and I meant no offense to any of the ethnic groups that together form Iranian culture.

America bombing Iran was a very incendiary move and it knows that. The entire debacle with Iran is very obviously meant to distract from domestic issues in America and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by Israel.

I'm by no means defending the Iranian regime. They've done despicable and horrific things to their citizens. Its just ridiculous to not acknowledge how Iran is "3 weeks away from having a working nuke" any time it is convenient for the US or Israel, and not for years in between. I know that nuclear accords were ongoing and that the regime was refusing IAEA inspectors, and also that they were enriching uranium, but beyond those things I am as of yet unaware of any tangible definitive evidence of nuclear bomb development in Iran.

Thing is though that uranium enrichment past 3.6% is only needed for bombs. According to IAEA, Iran's nuclear enrichment is at 60%, that is very very close to 90% (speed of enrichment is exponential based on current progress, it can be done very fast at this point).

Ofcourse, Trump fucked this up anyway, apparently IRI has only been delayed by 2-3 months anyway.

BTW, what Israel has done in Gaza is horrible. It could very well have been a distraction, we'll see.
