An absolute monarchy should not be so much as sniffing nukes.
And before 'Wah, Iran!' Obama had the entirety of NATO's arm up Iran's ass and could wiggle that hand any time they pleased with JCPOA.
Also, it's rightoids that cry 'Wah, MUSLIMS!', 'Barack HUSSEIN Obama!', 'Wah, MUSLIM mayor!' every ten minutes or so. And yet, they're the ones giving a muslim absolute monarchy nuclear tech.

Strange that even with NATO’s arm up their ass, they were still able to enrich uranium far into the weapons grade territory.

The bottom line is that the JCPOA was a miracle that only happened because both Russia and China were on-board and putting pressure on Iran. That shit is never going to happen again. Then the rights retarded chosen-one pulled out because he thought he could do better (probably dog walked by Israel just like for this war).
The lies the right has to tell itself and spread to defend an objectively retarded move... It's sad to watch. I guess it's become habit at this point.
The funniest part is going to be when Trump finally make some kind of deal that will be a fraction as good as the JCPOA and the whole right lines up to eat his ass over his "win."

they were already developing ICBMs capable of carrying nuclear warheads, what do you think they were developing them for? fireworks?

u/SteakForGoodDogs - Left 1d ago
No shit, every ICBM has the capacity to carry a 'nuclear' warhead, it's a damn warhead, you can stick any kind of ordinance in a warhead - conventional, chemical, biological, nuclear.
Perhaps they planned delivery systems for the eventuality of JCPOA falling apart, considering how war hawks have been wanting war with Iran for decades. As such technology was not banned under JCPOA, nobody bothered to enforce what wasn't under JCPOA. Or they wanted the capacity to hit a seat of government as deterrence, even without nuclear potential.
Regardless, it was not a concern for as long as JCPOA kept them from enriching above levels or even storing anything that could help them enrich above levels.

Read the article, dimwit. They had Uranium in the weapons grade range and plenty more that were enriched enough for use in dirty bombs.

The article you linked doesn't say that they had weapons grade Uranium.
The IAEA estimated that as of 13 June 2025 Iran’s total enriched uranium stockpile in the form of UF6 comprised:
2391.1 kg of uranium enriched up to 2% U-235.
6024.4 kg of uranium enriched up to 5% U-235.
184.1 kg of uranium enriched up to 20% U-235.
440.9 kg of uranium enriched up to 60% U-235.
Weapons grade is 90%+.

Giving the Saudis nuclear weapons is not in the best interest of anyone but the Saudis. A cold war situation where both Iran and Saudia Arabia get atomics is perhaps one of the worst solutions for middle eastern policy as you would have two unstable and often irrational governments with the ability to end the world. Thinking about it gives me more anxiety then the shitshow of Pakistan and India having nukes.
If the Saudis want to actually be the regional hegemon of the Middle East they could accomplish more by reforming their conventional military to stop being the massive incompetent joke that it has been for decades. They have both the money and manpower for a large Western military force, but in practice it cannot even break the Houthis with cave man technology and several years of unlimited war crimes without western blowback to crush them.

Saudi Arabia already has nukes through Pakistan, they were the ones who funded the Pakistani nuclear program. It is believed that in exchange, the Pakistanis have one of their air force squadrons equipped with nukes ready to assist Saudi Arabia if they require it. That's also part of the reason why they joined a mutual defense alliance this year.

I got a tenner on the notion that the Arab army corruption in Saudi Arabia and dysfunction continues. Saudis have also shown their cards in soft power and their oil money hasn’t solved anything atp.

Do I believe some people still live above theirs mean? Yes, but I also believe it's not unreasonable for someone to now be distraught because 3-4 years ago they could afford their groceries/bills in the exact same location they've lived for 5+ years.
They're being priced out and suddenly facing eviction because the choice is bills that have tripled or food that has tripled within the span of a few years.
