https://newrepublic.com/post/212003/trump-iran-right-nuclear-programTrump now says its just common sense for Iran to have a nuclear program.
It is a little hard that when you say that somebody wants it, other people have it, other adjoining states have it, and youre not letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things like that. Its always a little tough. You have to use a little common sense, Trump said at the G7 summit in France, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
It seems to be a sharp departure from Trumps previous claims during the war. After months of insisting that the purpose of the war was to get rid of any nuclear capability, demanding zero enrichment, Trump is now saying that the country can use nuclear power for electricity.
One wonders what Republicans in Congresslet alone the international communitywill think of Trumps latest concession. If a final peace deal between Iran and the U.S. doesnt have any restrictions on the countrys nuclear program, it will be effectively worse than the 2015 JCPOA agreement with Iran.
He's on Crack.
I want Obama back!

What's next, Donnie, you demented old fool? Israel has nukes so there's no reason Iran can't.
Perhaps Iran said complete denuclearization was a no go. Take it out or we close the straight. Trump said, that wasn't the deal!!! Tehran replied, the deal has changed. Pray we don't change it again.

US president says IDF shouldnt operate anywhere in Lebanon, reportedly leaving Israeli officials stunned, as Washington tries to sweet-talk Iran out of retaliating
Lots more vitriol at the TOI link.

(23,038 posts)Israel is really getting the short end. Much of it deserved but I agree with them on a nuclear capable Iran, civilian or otherwise. Iran has a couple of decades of enrichment expertise and ballistic missile capabilities only surpassed by the US, Russia and China. They could build and deliver nukes if the wanted to, agreement or no agreement and the last 4 months gives them more than ample reason to take out the nuclear insurance policy against regime change.

(27,034 posts)Let's think this out.
Who the hell would launch (or deliver) a nuclear weapon?
Hitler? Yes.
Harry S. Truman? Yes, twice.
Kruschev? No.
Trump? No, he's "solid" chickenshit.
IRG? Perhaps.
Netanyahu? 100% sure, if given the chance.
Putin? No, he's about as strong as wet cardboard, and soon to go.
Real risk, in my opinion? (this morning)
50% ... Netanyahu's Israel and Iran. Bibi gets Trump to push a button in his stupor,

or just pushes his own.
50% ... Small-scale incidents like blowing up nuclear reactors, tactical nukes, or just smuggled "dirty" material.
This is all uninformed by any actual intel.

(8,323 posts)All that money, death and destruction heaped on Iran for no good reason and just because Donald wanted to.
Also wasted: all those decades of American sourced propaganda, that the Iranian way of doing government, business, language and religion are so inferior to the US versions, that they are beyond contempt, just wasted!
Once they have nukes, America had better sing a different propaganda tune.
Trump thinks . . . what next disaster can I cause?
Of course his diseased mind won't use the word 'disaster'.
