Iranian Nuclear Doctrine

[tsunset]

This news is already being reposted on several sources, with the source I posted being the primary news. As I said, it could be fake news, but I wouldn't have better sources to post it from, because it was from this source that I was introduced to it. For now, we are left waiting to see if it is real or not, but for months now we have been seeing statements about a change in Iran's nuclear doctrine.

BS news

 

[Nuffle]

You see Iran international is not the source of the news , the 3 unidentified source in Iran that preferred to remain anonymous are the source of the news and such news source are not credible at all

I am referring to the first media outlet that reported this statement. It was Iran International. All other media outlets now only reproduce what was reported by Iran International. At least as far as I could verify.

Again, don't 'refer to' anything. Post verifiable and official content. Not sure what you're missing. You are polluting this thread. Reminder from original post:

Media outlet is not important
It's important to see if the media outlet that publish the news get it from reliable sources in this case Iran international source is not verifiable or trustworthy.

So it dramatically reduce the value of the news

Khamenei says we do not have nuclear weapons and we will never build nuclear weapons. But he also says if we are attacked by nuclear weapons, we will response with the same level of force.

How does this make sense? He is speaking nonsense.

Fatwa mafia is so stupid, bazaris pretending to be tough religious zealots LOL

He wants to say that you are forcing us to build Nuke, otherwise we will not accept the atomic bomb

Exactly! This is why the enemies of the revolution won't get far, they're not smart enough to comprehend something as simple as this.

that does not make any sense

"we will never build nuclear weapons" is very clear and cannot be qualified

The key is the have a nuclear warhead and integrate it with the in-service missiles for reliable delivery of nukes.

Operationalizing conventional vis a vis non-conventional payload is different. I am sure Iran has worked on it for the unplanned day when nukes become a necessity.

As for Fatwa, Islam permits lying under certain conditions. We can only wait to find out the truth.

Iran had *allegedly* done a lot of work on the steps necessary for that by 2003. in 2003, the only thing that was missing was sufficient fissile material (enriched uranium), which we now have. in 2009 there were also reports that Iran had tested advanced nuclear warhead designs, which shocked the West for how advanced they were.

Stolen records show Iran overcoming key hurdles in 2003 quest for a nuclear bomb, book says​

Work on an Iranian nuclear weapon was halted in 2003, but by then Iran’s scientists had mastered nearly all the technical challenges of bombmaking and needed only a reliable source of fissile fuel — either enriched uranium or plutonium — authors David Albright and Sarah Burkhard write in “Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons,” scheduled for publication next week.

Iran tested advanced nuclear warhead design – secret report​

The very existence of the technology, known as a "two-point implosion" device, is officially secret in both the US and Britain, but according to previously unpublished documentation in a dossier compiled by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iranian scientists may have tested high-explosive components of the design. The development was today described by nuclear experts as "breathtaking" and has added urgency to the effort to find a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis.

The sophisticated technology, once mastered, allows for the production of smaller and simpler warheads than older models. It reduces the diameter of a warhead and makes it easier to put a nuclear warhead on a missile.

Extracts from the dossier have been published previously, but it was not previously known that it included documentation on such an advanced warhead. "It is breathtaking that Iran could be working on this sort of material," said a European government adviser on nuclear issues.

James Acton, a British nuclear weapons expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said: "It's remarkable that, before perfecting step one, they are going straight to step four or five ... To start with more sophisticated designs speaks of level of technical ambition that is surprising."

Descriptions of "two-point implosion" warheads designs have occasionally appeared in the public domain (there are extensive descriptions on Wikipedia) and they were first developed by US scientists in the 1950s, but it remains an offence for American officials or even non-governmental nuclear experts with security clearance to discuss them.

The fatva prohibits weapons of mass destruction. I don’t believe nuclear weapons are mentioned specifically. There are nuclear weapons that can be defined as not falling under that umbrella such as tactical nuclear weapons.

Regardless fatvas can be overridden by other fatvas. I’m don’t know anything on whether fatvas must be publicized either.

Some experts in this field, like exUN inspector S. Ritter, said that Iran already can build weapons with some nuclear additives, I am not expert on this, but this is explained as kind of dirty polluting weapon, no match for usa type of nuclear military power, but Israel could be ecologically destroyed and with no hope of any condition of human existence... this is the reason why is this issue so complex for understanding or even explained... so mutual assured destruction with Israel is already achieved, that is why they need usa to cope with Iran...

You don’t need to be an ‘expert’ to see manifestly Iran has assembled weapons long ago.
