The latest nuclear country - Iran

[CatInASuit]

Well, they have finally gone and started processing nuclear material, but purely in the name of electricity production in the country and has absolutely nothing to do with making weapon's grade uraniam.

So what happens next.

Will the UN get let back in to look the the processing plants?
Will Barack Obama have stern words with them and tell them to not be naughty with zero effect?
Will Israel take matters into its own hands and ensure there is no processing going on?
How will Iran 'punch' the West for their behaviour

What's your call?

Man, this is potentially a very bad situation. It's good that my generation got to grow up without the terror of global nuclear destruction, but it's also left many adults today less concerned about this stuff than they should be.

As for what will happens, I foresee some stern words and the US probably funding Iran in some way if they promise to be good.

Amused by Iran's declaration of being a nuclear nation.

This feels vaguely like Andy Dick declaring himself an orthopedic surgeon.

I'm sure he can cut things with a scalpel, but I'm not sure he can do it to good effect.

"We are a powerful nation. No one can tell us not to build nukes."

Blah, blah, blah.

Israel wont tell you not to build nukes. Israel has a good enough airforce not to care. Expect preliminary strikes.

What Allwalker said.

The US does not need to worry about taking much action, because Israel does not fuck around. See Osirak. The UN will have to worry about what sort of positions to take in/when the event of that happening.
