South Korea was better than Turkey in anything you said and had an enemy with nukes. US strongly opposed them when they just did a small laboratory size enrichment. Finally they apologized to the world. Israel also will not be easy on Turkey, if it starts a program.
Turkey is being used by NATO...
I don't want to offend anyone but to be fair:
Indian situation, education, healthcare and GDP per capita is worse than average muslims in middle east.
Should I blame Hinduism?
By the way, Iran will neither nuke Turkey nor KSA. Just deterrence and soft power.
Iran nuking Turkey is an ABSOLUTE joke.
Israel will be more than fine too. They have a better deterrence.
So far, no one has given Nuke to anyone. Israel made its own but stole some blue prints.
Neither Zardari nor KYani have the balls to give nuke to ANYONE (Neither SA not Turkey)
Nuke is not just made by Uranium. Actually Plutonium the faster way to do it. Iran has long had a Plutonium facility in Arak that has never been inspected.
The giant steel cylinder in Parchin could have been used for only two purposes:
1. Nuke test
2. Making diamonds
Now think about it...
Sorry Kemalist but I have to disagree.
Iran is under sanctions now but is a sovereign and brave country. Under Shah, Iran was a puppet. Now, they have a strong army because of the arms and BM's that they make.
I want to remind you something: When US sold F14 (#81) and supercobras (#210) to Iran...
US supported Pakistan for a long time as long as there was a cold war and Soviet union was in AFG.
At this point US prefers India since it is the bigger non-muslim country.
For India to be really paid in this game: US want a real good ally against China and not a friend of Russia.
Most of the world have access to only two enrichment facilities inside Iran.
Remember North Korea: They did their first test in 2006 and declared it but most of the world said that the test was not successful.
This news is because of the Israel election and Israel internal parties.
Iran is at least a nuclear capable country (due to having 11000 declared centrifuges, practically more than enough for everything).
Iran has 2 declared enrichment facilities and probably several undeclared facilities.
It...
Iran resisted Americans but became an Indian proxy in Afghanistan.
Not shocking since Iran never made any strong pro-Pakistan move after the baburi mosque issue.
I agree that it is very difficult but I think there is a clear winner in Bahrain and Yemen issues. I hope Iranians see that.
Regarding the Iraq: We have the Sunnis, let them have the Shiites.
Off topic but:
After all the rhetoric you had and all the deadlines and red-lines, you finally had to attack somewhere this fall. Who better than Sudan? Easy and safe...
