Your source doesn't contradict anything he said. “This stockpile could potentially enable Iran to construct as many as 10 nuclear bombs, should it choose to weaponize its program, Grossi told The Associated Press last year.”
There is no other reason to have uranium enriched to that level. None.

That’s cute, you spouting America bad gibberish while defending terrorists
If you took the time to read the US Department of State’s annual report, Country Reports on Terrorism, you would find out that the major perpetrators of terrorism are Sunni groups, not Iran nor groups allegedly sponsored by Iran. The funding for Sunni groups comes mostly from Gulf countries that are considered allied to the US: Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia. The most prolific terrorist groups in the last decade has been I…

That is not what the videos that came out showed. Of course, now Iran has shudown the internet so information can not get in out. Spin harder. The truth is after the start of this war Iran has been importing Shia militias members from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to be their enforcers because the Islamic regime does not have legitimacy with the Iranian populace.
Trump literally said this about the CIA and Israel. It looks like you fell for it. Here's the real story with details on how they were able to fool you and the media you rely on. https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-how-doctored-images-from-ir... You can't blindly accept everything being fed to you.

The Islamic Republic government themselves stated over 3,000 deaths. Here are some of those killed/ These are all CIA agents? https://www.bbc.com/persian/resources/idt-c005edd8-7204-4c74... https://www.ohchr.org/en/media-advisories/2026/01/human-righ...
You got tricked with AI photos and so did the media. My link shows how you guys got fooled and the technical details around that. Care to double down?

Israel has killed many in Iran during the recent war, hasbara trolls hang out on forums to tell people otherwise. It doesn't care in the slightest for Iranians and wish utter turmoil in the country, we have seen it's treatment to Arabs clear as day in Gaza and the West Bank.

There are refeniries dependent on the Persian Gulf region(PGR) but the majority of countries are dependent on the the general commodities market of downstream products. The US famously produces more oil than it uses and is not generally receiving fuel that's downstream of the PGR and yet if you look at the gas prices in the US you'll realise that it's not as simple as being reliant on fossil fuels from the PGR. That'…
The us imports more crude oil than it exports. An easily looked up fact. The us does export more refined products than it imports but it’s highly dependent on crude imports for it’s significant refining capacity.
By the US not being reliant on imports I was saying that even with just local crude oil production the US can satisfy internal demand for petroleum products.
My wider point is that of course everyone knows that that's not how the economy really works and I was replying to nradov oversimplifying by pointing out that if it was that simple US petrol prices wouldn't have gone up as much as they did. Because even though it's only a few countries with specific refineries that are actually reliant on the straight being open to get their specific required flavour of crude it's everyone in the refined markets that are actually effected by the supply of that crude because it effects the supply those refined products.

> let's be clear about the real goals. You should watch “Wag the Dog”, a 1997 movie about a president who starts a war to distract from a sex scandal. The real goals here have nothing to do with anything Iran has ever done.
Ultimately Israel started this war. Is it a useful distraction from Epstein, sure, but that’s clearly not the primary reason for this war.

The world does have another much better option: they can pay the Iranian ransom and call it a day. No need to participate in another war.
You're not thinking through the long-term consequences of that option. The Iranian extortion fees will likely escalate over time. Other countries will use that precedent to impose fees for passage through their territorial waters. Most of the countries that rely on maritime trade would prefer to avoid that outcome, even if it causes deaths and economic pain in the short term.
Nowhere near as much as the American extortion costs.

Which nobody disagreed with. Where we disagreed was around women and children protesting and getting killed vs armed men with machine guns. You got tricked with AI photos and so did the media. My link shows how you guys got fooled and the technical details around that. Care to double down?
"It described all those killed as “children of this soil” and affirmed President Masoud Pezeshkian’s commitment to protecting and vindicating their rights."
And even the regime could only figure out how to label a subset of them as 'rioters and terrorists':
"A government statement issued in late January indicated that over 600 of the deceased were rioters and terrorists, with the remainder being civilians and security forces."
Leaving 2400 being random civilians. (if we believe the government list is actually a complete list).

You are incorrect. There are many women/children listed as killed while they were attending protests that Iran admits to having attacked and made games about on national TV:

A small subset of those murdered by the Islamic Regime at protests:

You realize that those dead people on the government list leave behind families/friends/social media profiles that all know/show they just wanted more freedom?
