It happens to have the biggest Jewish population in the middle east outside of Isreal....... but then dont let the facts get in the way of a good US/Isreali smear campaign;)

Do we really need another religious state with nukes, I mean, another type of religion.

This is the true faith, nuke the infidel!*

So while 20 years ago the cool kids were all playing with the new cool thing, POGs, Iran was sitting in the back of the class room, shoving crayons up its nose. Iran loved to have POGs to play with but was too retarded and lazy to go about an buy them so Iran resented the cool kids.

The cool kids got bored of POGs and tru the years went onto Premier League Stickers, Pokemon, talking to Girls but Iran became obsessed with trying to be like the cool kids and did everything to get POGs.

Now while the cool kids at the top of the class play with their iPods, the new 'in' thing, out of nowhere from the back of the class shouts Iran "Ill show you arrogant gits, now i have got POGs!"...UK and USA sitting at the front look at each other and say "that was soooo 20 years ago".


Go away Iran, you'll never be cool and nobody likes you. "Nuclear Power was soooo 70 years ago".

Its nuclear weapons that allow you to join the cool club, not nuclear power (or pogs).

I can stomach many countries having nuclear weapons. But theocratic nutjobs who probably believe nuclear armageddon is the fast track to some spirit world populated by virgins? I can't say i can.

I have nothing but contempt for the current leader of Iran; but i've never heard him express the belief that 'nuclear armageddon is the fast track to some spirit world populated by virgins'.
I know, as things are discussed here and discussed in much of our media, you don't actually have to bother finding out what his beliefs or intentions are.
Still, there's nothing wrong with actually providing facts when discussing, eh, stuff.
I do know that the US and Israel are led, or have been led, by theocratic nutjobs who view nuclear armageddon as a legitimate deterrent; and they actually have the capability to make this a reality.
Some perspective needed here, i fancy; otherwise this will just become a 'nuke them before they have a chance to nuke us' thread.
Which won't do anyone any good.

It was the fact that both the US and USSR (CCCP) had nukes that stopped WWIII starring in the 1950s, now with Iran claiming they now "have the power" is quite likely to prevent any future middle eastern war*.

Iran is facing mounting international protests about its jamming of the BBC's Persian TV service (PTV) after the channel – which has millions of viewers and is hugely popular with opposition supporters – was taken off a satellite owned by Europe's leading operator.
The BBC said today it was "actively supporting" a formal complaint to the International Telecommunication Union, a UN-affiliated body, about "deliberate interference" from Iran. The ITU confirmed it had received representations from regulators in France, home to Eutelsat, owner of the Hotbird 6 satellite, which transmitted PTV until the end of last month.
The German state broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, said it too would protest about interference with its Persian-language radio broadcasts. Voice of America Persian TV programmes have also been jammed.
The BBC said it was telling viewers how to adjust their satellite dishes to receive programmes via two other satellites that are out of range of Iranian jamming.
Eutelsat says PTV was removed from Hotbird 6 "in agreement" with the BBC, though sources close to the affair say the operator caved in to commercial and legal pressures from other customers broadcasting on the same transponder.
Another Eutelsat satellite, Hotbird 8, provides capacity to Iranian state media channels, including English-language Press TV, which has offices in London.
Iranian opposition supporters are accusing satellite companies of "siding with dictators". Eutelsat and GlobeCast, a France Télécom subsidiary which leases bandwidth from Eutelsat — and which made the decision to take down PTV — refuse to say publicly that the Iranian government is responsible for the jamming.
"It makes me angry that we are the victims of jamming by the Iranian government and the Iranian government is still able to use Hotbird for its own programmes," said one BBC source. "We are the victims and they are the perpetrators."
PTV was launched a year ago this week to Iranian fury. Sporadic jamming began after last June's disputed presidential elections but intensified in late December, after the death of Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, a revered cleric associated with the opposition, which triggered a new round of demonstrations.
Tehran has repeatedly attacked PTV as an arm of the British government, which it accuses of seeking to foment a "velvet revolution".
Last week, it included the BBC on a list of 60 "subversive" international organisations. Britain and Iran are at odds over Iran's nuclear programme, Israel, and other Middle Eastern issues. The Foreign Office called the jamming "a clear attempt to infringe the right of Iranians to watch the TV channel of their choice".
The BBC said it was exploring other options with Eutelsat. "We will try every avenue to give our large audiences in Iran the television news services that they want," said Peter Horrocks, the BBC World Service director.
Iran has gone to extraordinary lengths to block TV broadcasts it considers hostile. Signals transmitted from the US, beyond reach of Iranian jamming, have occasionally been jammed from Cuban territory.
But hopes of a response from Tehran to these latest complaints are slim as the Geneva-based ITU has no enforcement power and is widely seen as toothless.
Iranian viewers are angry and frustrated. "We Iranians are now under repression," one PTV fan said. "We are passing another turning point in our history and we need unbiased news more than ever."
Another told the BBC: "People have been left with an utter lack of information … Perhaps you don't realise the extent of your influence on Iranian society."
"Iranians keep asking me why the west is so powerless," Sadeq Saba, head of PTV, wrote on his blog. "They say: 'This is a rogue government jamming international signals. How will the west stop Iran getting nuclear weapons if they can't deal with this?'"

Testing of a nuke still wouldn't put him in a position to threaten the US & Israel. As soon as Israel feel in any serious threat they will attack Iran and possibly with nuclear weapons.

it should be remembered that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad answers to the guardian council and that the Ayatollah has the final say on foreign policy. The ayatollah of rock n rolla decreed sometime ago that it would be unislamic for Iran to build a nuclear bomb. i understand that for some it's politically convenient to over look this and dismiss it as irrevelant. Also, as has been pointed out Iran has a large Jewish population. If he was intent on wiping the state of israel off the map and driving the jews into the sea, why hasn't he started with those in his own country. could it be that what he actually said has been deliberately misinterperted to suit US propaganda?
still, no argument that it's an oppressive and massively intolerance regime over there. however, as we know when it suited the west's interest we turned a blind eye to such oppression and there was no newspaper articles highlighting the nature of such regimes.

did you know...
why it's governed by theocratic nutjobs, and what's at the root of the hostility to the USA etc?

It's because the USA and Britain replaced a democratically elected government there with a dictator in 1953, after Iran tried to nationalise its oil supply (which BP had rights to, and refused to negotiate the contract).
A revolution in 1979 against the dictator that was put in, was what led to the current government there.

20% enriched uranium is not weapons grade, but, having the ability to get to 20% is a huge step and its not all that difficult to get from there to the 90% needed for weapons.

strobe

I'm pretty positive 20% is what's considered "entry level" for use in a weapon. As in the most basic and not nescesarily most reliable atomic weapon possible.

Thank you. Maybe just maybe they want to hang on to their oil, rather than have it pilfered by the west or pissed away by themselves unnecessarily. Ahmadinejad's own background is social engineering and energy so he is probably pretty clued in where resource management is concerned

"Meanwhile, state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to "global arrogance" on February 11."

Is this another example of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's comments being completely lost in translation? I recall him being accused of declaring that Israel should be 'wiped off the map' when all he in fact meant was that the then(and still now) current political system in Israel should be abolished.

Wasn't there a murder charge in the Iranian case as well, or have I confused it with something else? The Iranian case either way, is in all likelihood bull**** and travesty.

As for the US case, well executing someone with such a low IQ is not a whole lot better.

No he doesn't in this instance. There's a huge difference between adultery, and coercing people to murder your husband. I don't agree with the death penalty at all - but even if I did, I would never agree with the methods used in Iran, and for the reasons in Iran.
