Public opinion is highly polarized regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions and the reinstated sanctions, combining frustration over Western hypocrisy with nationalist sentiments supporting Iran's right to self-defense. While many express outrage at the perceived double standards and aggression from the West, others highlight criticisms concerning Iran's internal policies and human rights issues, leading to an overall complex, conflicted perspective.

Sorry, citizens living outside of Moscow who still don't have indoors plumbing, you gotta wait a little longer while we spend money to make the entire world more dangerous.

Bitter_Nail8577

Pretty sure Russia will collapse before they finish a single one of them.

jonas_64

Lol. That lads havent put the B2's away after the last ones.

JohnDempsy

This might be part of the reason for the recent Trump change on Russia, he really hates Iran, so he probably sees Russia making a nuclear deal with Iran as a personal offense.

Good thing Trump annihilated their nuclear capabilities and set them back ~~decades~~ a couple months

I hope for Iran's saje that's pay on delivery

Popular-Somewhere234

Like the ones they were going to build in South Africa? Oh yeah, that's right. They just didn't follow through.

Tw4tl4r

Let them get started and then bomb them to rubble.

HugsForUpvotes

So Iran will have a nuclear program that if Israel destroyed would be considered an attack on Russians. Pretty cheeky, looks like Trump's strategy didn't work.

NPP require enriched fuel. Easy cover for them to be enriching beyond fuel grade to weapon grade.

OK so the Russia is trying to drag USA and Israel into nuclear war with Iran, Got it!

There is no greater motherfucker than Putin/Russia. Israel should help Ukraine directly then.

Far_Car430

What is dump going to say about this? He said Iran would never be allowed to have a nuclear program.

Knightmere1

The money will be absorbed by russia's war machine immediately and Iran won't get any reactors lol

ApprehensiveGold2773

Why does Iran even give a flying fuck about nuclear when they get all the sun they could ask for.

…. Oh wait

RudaBaron

Bs, Israel will cry and bomb, then puti fights with Israel?  Strange world

stoic_Gorn

Why is this demand controversial, the whole reason for sanctions is they are developing nukes with the express purpose of using them, unlike Ukraine Iran js the aggressor nation funding global anti-western terrorist operations, and would use nukes in offensive rather than defensive operations.

phantom-firion

Iran should agree. Their collection isn’t even good for energy production. 

If they really wanted nuclear power that’s allowed they should also add a thorium nuclear reactor. 

They won’t because we know the real reason.

*Arsalan Shahla for Bloomberg News*  
  
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Trump administration had demanded his country hand over its entire enriched uranium stockpile in exchange for temporary relief from impending UN sanctions.  
  
Pezeshkian’s remarks Saturday came as Iran’s currency hit a fresh record low and the country recalled its envoys to the UK, France and Germany amid rising tensions with the West over its nuclear program.  
  
“They want us to give them all of our enriched uranium in exchange for giving us a three-month period, which is absolutely unacceptable,” Pezeshkian said, referring to the US. He was speaking ahead of his return to Tehran from this week’s UN summit in New York, state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

*Gestures towards Ukraine and taps the sign* never give up your nukes

Koko175

Uhhh... does Iran trust the USA(or Trump lol) with enriched uranium?

Quantineuro

When Libya got rid of their nukes…  it ended poorly for them… 

Who would have thought our actions would have extra ramifications down the line?

America just keeps making things worse, when they make things ”better”.

Ishapp

Luckily for iran, times have changed. When these sanctions were first imposed, iran was isolated. Now, they are a member of brics and have great relationships with china and russia. they will be fine. The sanctions game is basically become irrelevant for brics members.

Emotional_Gazelle_37

UN is such a failed organization. Like they sanction the Iran for this and then you have a certain country that literally attacked US ship many decades ago and took over uranium and nukes and now have probably 100 undisclosed nukes against all rules and no one bats an eye. Its like the hipocrisy is insane. Oh i forgot to add they are doing genocide 24/7 for everyone to see and still nothing from UN. Its incredible.

Nazgul_1994

In the colonial era, colonizers used to set laws and tell everyone, “follow the law and y’all will be treated equally.” On the contrary, those laws were created just to keep the empire thriving. The UN is basically colonization version 2.0. They’ll tell you it exists to keep international peace, but in reality, it exists to serve the empire.

IAEA.are just bunch of spies which collect GPS co-ordinates.

BootNerd_

So the United States destroys Iran's nuclear facilities, and then the UN slap sanctions on Iran for not allowing inspections of the destroyed facilities. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

cobrakai11

Oh yeah sanction Iran but let Israel bomb other country

Jaexa-3

UN sanctions Iran while North Korea can now nuke most of the world. This sounds like dieselgate reloaded

Infamous_Physics_148

This sanctions useless, China and Russia don't support it, so it not working 

Horneal

DramaticMagician1709

Please, Iran, build more nuclear facilities.

And don’t forget to shoot down the B-2s next time! You were dumb to let them through but don’t make that same mistake again!

Main_Product5071

Good, I hope the Iranian regime collapse. Only the Iraqi will understands how pain in the ass Iran is on Iraqi citizens. Any Iraqi criticize Iranian regime will face severe co sequences.

Reasonable-Painter80

Terrorists gonna terror. Why does Iran refuse to part with the Nuclear? They are openly threatening to anahilate nations. 
Just like Hamas refuses to part with the hostages.

system3601

US foreign policy - Sanction every country!

So much stuff has happened in 30 days that o almost already forgot about Iran rofl

Poleth87

Iran has no water , will be a nice powderkeg

Nice. Hopefully Iran will be free of the Mullahs soon!

Maqlouba_67

The United Nations Security Council has failed to adopt the draft resolution that would give continued sanctions relief for Iran as per the JCPOA

This means that SnapBack has now been officially activated, and UN sanctions against Iran will take effect at 8pm on September 27th.

aWhiteWildLion

If China and Russia don’t respect the resolution (as they’ve suggested they’re not going to) then I’m not sure what this actually does. I guess it was “use it or lose it” situation. 

kindagoodatthis

Iran bots jumped on this thread immediately.

This actions shows that while the general population on the West might be confused, as least a critical mass of politicians still know what’s going on.

The real question is what kinds of measures, covert or otherwise, are being used to ensure compliance?

Honestly, I just pity the poor Iranians. Shia Muslims aren’t even a majority, and it must be maddening to see your government destroy your place in the world, and your own economy, by spending g tax dollars on nuclear facilities that will just get bombed in a few years. And I can’t say that if I lived there I’d have the courage to revolt. The violence that suppers the system is terrifying.

Nuclear non proliferation no longer makes sense. The greatest stabilizer to international relations is wmds. We should be criticizing Iran for a lot, such as human rights abuses, sponsoring terrorism, supporting Ukraine war off aggression etc. The list is long. I support sanctioning them for all sorts of reasons, but not for wanting to be a country. 

Any country who wants to be a country, who's conventional military is not the best in the world, and who has even one adversary, needs wmds. I want canada to have a chemical weapons program. Let's sanction them for an actual good reason, on an issue that they may budge on.

gooberfishie

Illegal snapback, invalid under UN law since the US quit JCPOA in 2018. They leave a deal and still trigger its rights. Besides, after 18th Oct, Resolution 2231 expires so only western unilateral sanctions remain, not UN law. Too bad, China and Russia will continue to do business with Iran as usual.

God bless Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, his wisdom and strength. If reformists like Zarif, Rafsanjani &amp; Rouhano got their way with a JCPOA 2, Iran would not even have any missiles today to respond to Israeli terrorism.

PracticalBook8901

If these are actually Iranians, then they should have with them a specific tool that can be used against nuclear programs.

One that was given to them not too long ago.

Stuxnet.

NetWeaselSC

Iran shoulda finished the job .  Frustrating … the sooner Israel gets destroyed the sooner Israel first won’t exist and that’s the only way America first can ever exist

.

Please please please please please finish the job! Do it for the good of mankind

.

Israel is a USA parasite sucking away resources and time that USA needs to be competitive in the world; Israel literally cannot survive without our taxes supplementing their mortgages, paying their healthcare, paying their social security, and laundering our taxes to flip our insanely overpriced (yet ineffective) military equipment

-Mediocrates-

I think this might go a long way towards convincing the Zionists to cool their shit in regards to war against Iran. If it doesn't, then the Zionists clearly have lost any sense of balance between aggression and self preservation and that is the definition of rabid. There's no cure for rabid animals; they must be euthanized.

ttystikk

It would be fair play if they sabotaged all the centrifuges then had an alley bomb all the ventilation shafts.

Demonweed

Israel is a paper tiger always blowing hard about their invincible Iron Dome and superior intelligence. Without the USA holding their hand, they'd be no more powerful than Lebanon.

MarketCrache

Whoa. I wish this was on every news channel.

swimbyeuropa

&gt;Reports indicate that Iran’s agents have been able to obtain:

&gt;● IDs and addresses of 189 Israeli nuclear and military specialists and details of the projects they are involved in.

&gt;● Detailed geographic coordinates of sensitive dual-use military sites.

&gt;● Full blueprints for Israeli nuclear reactors.

&gt;● Details of current and past weapons projects.

&gt;● Details of joint projects with the USA and European states.

-

&gt;In an unprovoked attack in June, Israel killed one of Iran’s leading nuclear scientists and at least eight of his colleagues, despite US intelligence assessing that they were involved only in civilian nuclear power projects. The assassinations followed years of similar attacks by Israel on Iranian soil. In this context and that of Israel’s recent strikes around the region, even on the territory of supposed allies, the potential for Iran to retaliate against scientists involved in Israel’s nuclear weapons programme will be a serious concern to the Israeli regime.

Slagothor48

Wait a gosh darn minute here. This cant possibly be true, because Israel doesnt have nukes. Hmmmm

NeslieLielson

What a twist! Now it looks like Iran might save the world from nuclear annihilation by stopping Israel's weapons. Instead of vice versa.

shatabee4

Iran hacked a ton of Israeli intelligence stuff not too long before Zionistan attacked them.  They had released some of the materials beforehand. This is probably from those items they previously hacked and Israel should expect more to come out to further expose their illegal nuclear weapons program.

I wondered if something like this was why they withdrew their U.N. resolution regarding attacking nuclear sites.

The UN reinstated sanctions against Iran following its non-compliance with nuclear commitments, increasing tensions that could affect global diplomacy and security.
