US and Israel attack on Iran. What was the point?

[morqthana]

Civilian nuclear energy production is not restricted by the non proliferation treaty.

The NPT doesn't ban civilian nuclear energy production but it does impose restrictions and inspection regimes aimed at preventing weapons development.

NPT Article IV acknowledges the right of all Parties to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and to benefit from international cooperation in this area, in conformity with their nonproliferation obligations. Article IV also encourages such cooperation. This so-called third pillar provides for the transfer of nuclear technology and materials to NPT Parties for peaceful purposes in the development of civilian nuclear energy programs in those countries, subject to IAEA safeguards to demonstrate that their nuclear programs are not being used for the development of nuclear weapons.

As the commercially popular light water reactor nuclear power station uses enriched uranium fuel, it follows that states must be able either to enrich uranium or purchase it on an international market. Mohamed ElBaradei, then Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has called the spread of enrichment and reprocessing capabilities the "Achilles' heel" of the nuclear nonproliferation regime.

Naturally, and I'm sure Saudi will comply fully.

So we're all agreed that the Donald has not flouted any nuclear proliferation rules as ellal claimed.

I'm sure that the US's top ally in the Middle East has every faith in the good faith of Trump, and has no concerns abut any of this.

 

[IT Minion]

Yep have to agree with you

Bomb them

Even Trump has agreed bombing Iran's civilian infrastructure is a stupid idea. Everyone knows that Iran will reciprocate with strikes on other infrastructure in the region making the disruption earlier this year look mild.

A 'quiet warning'?

Who do you think you are?

Strange that you don't apply the same logic to others in this thread, but I guess you always stick with your own

You will see if you carry on.

I do. Stick to the topic. Rule 1a. Rule 1c.

 

[ellal]

Ah, maybe a mod who doesn't like the truth being told?

What is the problem you have with that?

Meanwhile the trolls on here are allowed to get away with what they like as long as they follow a certain 'political ideology'

Edit: Certain people are allowed to get away with flaunting...

1c) Posts which seek to bully or otherwise target individual members are treated as ad hominem so may be removed without warning.
This will lead to being banned.

Maybe you ought to have a word with mottie amongst others and apply that rule

Your words not mine, do not speculate or talk about moderation. Rule 1d. You didn't post any truth, only ad hom comments. Rule 1c

You are attacking fillyboy himself personally, he hasn't done that to you. Rule 1a

Trolls in your opinion does not necessarily equate to a troll, rather they are posters who disagree with your own opinion. This is a friendly site that allows everyone to share there opinions in a friendly manner. Rule 1

Actually I oppose those who support genocide...

If you call that 'abuse' then so be it, but I'm just pointing out the bleeding obvious...

Good to know what side a person is on, don't you think?

And hey if you think it's not trolling to repeat the same personal attacks in any topic or any forum in an unrelated fashion, then you might like to re-read the rules you keep quoting!
