But weapons are the ONLY reason to enrich that high.
- sodality2 1y agoNot true. Maybe the only plausible reason Iran has to make them, but that's a different claim.
- throwaway2037 1y agoYou raise a very good point here, probably the most important consideration if one wishes to defend Israel's and US's recent bombing of Iranian nuclear research sites. I don't know any legitimate civilian purpose to enrich uranium to near-weapons grade... except to eventually produce weapons grade material.
- UltraSane 1y agoHonestly Iran NEVER needed to enrich uranium if it only wanted nuclear electricity. It could have imported enriched uranium fuel rods for its nuclear reactor. Spending so much on deeply buried enrichment facilities was ALWAYS about getting nuclear weapons.
- throwaway2037 1y agoOf course, it is insane to see so many people in this discussion plainly in denial about the intent of this programme.
- UltraSane 1y agoMany people on this thread are rather inexplicably pro-Iran-having-nukes.
