Iranian navy shadows USS Abraham Lincoln through Hormuz Strait

[T-Rex]

Iran thinks it is a super power or wants to be seen as one atleast. That's why Iran is perusing nukes
[/url]

It has something to do with israel possessing nukes, perhaps you should focus on that!

If USS Abraham Lincoln is history then whole Iranian army is history

Do you think the US would wait a second if it had the balls to obliterate the Iranian army?

Israel has nukes since the late 60s while Iran started their process after the 1979 Islamic revolution..showing that it has more to do with political posturing than actual need to own a nuke.

Iran announces nuclear programme 'achievements' - Telegraph



Iran announces nuclear programme 'achievements'
State television reported on Wednesday that Iran has made advances in its nuclear programme, building new uranium enrichment centrifuges and producing its own nuclear reactor fuel plates.

The announcement, to be confirmed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad later on Wednesday, was likely to further unsettle the United States and allies who believe Iran is also forging ahead with atomic weapon development.

Iran has developed "4th generation centrifuges" made of carbon fibre that are "speedier, produce less waste and occupy less space" as they spin at supersonic speeds to purify uranium, state television reported, citing Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.

Iran also created its own 20-percent fuel plates for a research reactor in Tehran whose stock of fuel sourced from Argentina in the 1990s is running low, the report said.

The television also said that Iran had made progress in 20 per cent uranium enrichment at its Natanz facility, beyond enrichment activities already under way there.

Iran insists its nuclear programme is for exclusively peaceful, civilian purposes.

Although what you're saying is totally absurd and irrelevant because it has nothing to do with when and how a country's nuclear program is initiated, but Iran had an active nuclear program since 1950's under the Shah regime and to your surprise, the USA had provided Iran with a nuclear reactor (The current Tehran Research Reactor) that consumed HEU (Highly Enriched Uranium) and the USA had provided Iran with +100 kgs of highly enriched uranium as well. I wonder why there was no international outcry about Iran's nuclear program backing that time when Iran had over 100 kgs of +93% enriched uranium provided to it by the USA.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iran has no claims to be a super power, the USA does claim it is a super power and actually they are a super power, but the fact that the USA always doesn't react to these so called 'provocations' of Iran is because they don't wanna go into a war with Iran and they know that the Iranian armed forces are indeed capable of causing damage to them, not only one USN battle group can't obliterate the Iranian army, the whole US army alone can't obliterate Iranian army + IRGC. It's all propaganda and their baseless claims that they can obliterate the Iranian military while in reality anytime Iran provokes them they make up their minds first and then they decide not to respond back to these 'provocations'.

Now you provide an Israeli official's opinion about Iran to show that you are right?What a credible source.On which planet do you live?

No, i posted that link because the israeli minister noticed it too.

When did exactly Iran say we are trying to act like superpowers?

Iran didn't. I never claimed it did.

When did Iran said its navy can match US navy?

I didn't say iran claimed that. I said iran pretended like it did.

Do you have a proof that Iran is making nuclear weapons?ok then provide it for us too

The whole world has proof. Do a quick google search, that's if google isn't banned in your country.

Of course it does.USSR & China started their nuke bomb program after US became a nuclear power. India started work on nuke bomb in the 60s after PRC tested their nukes.In the same way Pakistan started their nuke program in the 1970s after India tested nukes. On the otherhand Israel had the bombs since late 1960s (according to some reports they already had it during 1967 war) but Iran felt no need to have one of their own until the regime changed in 1979.

Iran got all this after you signed NPT.

the whole world has no proof to prove anything. Also, please don't talk about the whole world. More than 120 countries support Iran's nuclear program. (Go read statements released by the NAM (Non-Aligned Movement), the GCC, the OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries)). Actually more than half of the world see the USA as bullying Iran on Iran's peaceful nuclear activities. the IAEA has repeatedly confirmed the non-diversion of Iran's nuclear program and has always confirmed the existence of the nuclear material in Iranian facilities as reported to the agency.

Of course it does.USSR & China started their nuke bomb program after US became a nuclear power. India started work on nuke bomb in the 60s after PRC tested their nukes.In the same way Pakistan started their nuke program in the 1970s after India tested nukes.

You gotta be kidding. The Germans had a nuclear program before the USA detonated the A-bomb. so what? What's your argument about? The soviets too had knowledge of nuclear field before the USA detonates the A bomb.
You can never say Iran had no intention of obtaining nukes before 1970, just like now that you can't prove Iran has a military nuclear program. and as I said, it's still irrelevant when and how a nation initiates its nuclear program. It proves nothing. I don't understand what you wanna conclude from all the things you said.

Iran got all this after you signed NPT.

We signed the NPT in 1953. Again, so what? You just come up with some random sentences that are totally irrelevant to the discussion. Aren't we in the NPT right now?

You didn't answer my question. Where was the international outcry when the USA provided Iran with +93% enriched uranium for the Tehran Research Reactor?

Are you feeling well, pal? The USAN is much superior than any other navy.
Let alone Iran`s navy.

Wrong move there pal....please do not needle sinochallenger......

He might get angry and throw random acronyms in your face....like RAM, CAS, SEAD, BONG....etc

Then we'd all be stuck trying to explain to him what they actually mean.


Ontopic - Who are the Iranians trying to kid....exactly ?

 

[gambit]

Good job Iran! Any funny moves and USS Abraham Lincoln is history.

You must be joking, right? Where did the fleet go? How much more 'funny' do you want?

 

[Serpentine]

Ontopic - Who are the Iranians trying to kid....exactly ?

We are not trying to kid any body,maybe it's you who are kidding yourself.

The whole world has proof. Do a quick google search, that's if google isn't banned in your country.

The whole world have a proof?Or maybe you see some westerns countries and their puppets as the whole world?Ok i think you are high on drugs right now,we will discuss it when you come back down.

He does need to be educated...Though. He, like the other Chinese boys here, are conscript rejects, after all.

Ontopic - Who are the Iranians trying to kid....exactly ?

No one. But they do need to put something up in the face of insurmountable military odds.

Does this thread means this???

Iranian speed boats trailing a supercarrier, what on earth is Iran thinking? Lets be honest, Iranian navy will literally be turned to non-existent within 6 hours of a war. Iran is all hype and no action. They have been caught in their own bluffs so many times in recent weeks they've almost become a joke.

1. They said they were gonna close the Straitz if US carrier returned. Bluff.
2. They said they were gonna ban exports to EU if sanctions passed. Bluff.
3. There were other ones but I can't remember atm lol
