In case of nuclear weapons, you have to evaluate costs to benefits. Its not a matter of survival at all. If you want to make Iran the nuclear umbrella of Mecca, Medina and other holy sites, i would suggest Pakistan is there already. The only threat to holy sites is Israel and Pakistan's nuclear pact with KSA ensures safety of Islamic holy lands. In that case we don't need Iran to take the lead.
This is satire, right? Why would I give a f*ck about Mecca, Medina or "holy sites"? lol
Thanks for the good laugh though. I really needed it to start my day.
If you want to ensure survival of Iran against Israel's nuclear threat, then keep the country a nuclear threshold state despite all the odds and all the threats from west. Something that was halted thanks to those who dealt with Obama. But its not out of reach and it can be restored easily.
There is no such thing as "nuclear threshold" during war. This is some stupid concept that Basijis and Ayatollahs came up with and it completely goes against all accepted theories since the Cold War and game theory. They beat the shit out of you, killed 100 Iranians on average per day (more than Gaza), cost Iran tens of billions dollars if not hundreds, and you couldn't do jack shit and had to beg for negotiations.
You are either a nuclear state or not. There is no such thing as a "threshold" state in professional literature. Even when you become a nuclear state, it takes decades to reach a point where you can finally be taken seriously as a nuclear state.
Too much insisting on nuclear weapons will destroy the remnants of our economic infrastructures that has already heavily suffered from western sanctions which itself was a result of deep connection with western hemisphere in the field of economy.
Western sanctions have been imposed on Iran because the Ayatollahs are idiots, or installed by foreign powers to destroy Iran. If you do not want to build nuclear weapons, there is zero reasons for having uranium enrichment. Iran does not have the capacity to run uranium enrichment for civilian purposes. At the peak of our enrichment, which was destroyed by Trump and we should thank him for that, our uranium enrichment was not enough to produce one year worth of our needs in 10 years!
So, either completely give up on uranium enrichment or build the bomb. What has cost Iran over a trillion dollars of economic damage through sanctions and war is uranium enrichment.
We cannot make Iran a pariah state like Israel through insisting on an anti-humanity asset. Something that can be held as an accessible option against Israel by making the country a threshold state.
Dude, do I have a news for you! You're already a pariah state. So, cut the nonsense with this pariah thing. Take your passport and travel abroad. See how well your passport is received and what people think of your country, including in countries where you claim to have good relations with them like Russia and China. And in fact, the real reason behind the poor image of Iran is violations of human rights and women's rights, not development of a nuclear program.
The economy should not suffer to the point of complete destruction. Every option has a cost and a benefit. Consequences of nuclear madness was witnessed with NK. Human dignity shall not be ignored which was ignored by NK's leadership.
You already have destroyed Iranian economy. Don't use economy as an excuse for your incompetence and meekness in international politics.
Just in the last 10 years, inflation has been over 40% on average, while wages have been increased by 20%-25% in most years. That means your average Iranian has become almost 65% poorer compared to 10 years ago.
Your banking system is one of the most corrupt and weirdest systems in the world. It defies all theories of economics like your stupid nuclear policy. It serves the country in no way but to increase liquidity every month to fill the pockets of the leeches and Aghazadeh sons of bitches. Please do not even talk about economy. Even the Taliban have done better in this regard.
Is that really hard to accept?
What's hard to accept? Your entire post started with a joke about the protection of holly sites and the rest of it has already been disproven in action just about 3 months ago.
