Iran has launched a programme aimed at developing a nuclear fusion reactor - an ambition long-cherished by Western nations.


If this wasn't such a morally glib goverment, I might have liked it.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that this a mere cover for more "violent" projects, if you get what I'm saying.

Dropping [s]H-bombs[/s] D-bombs on Zoroastrians, homosexuals and Christians?

But yes, making a hydrogen bomb has worked before, making a nuclear fusion reactor hasn't. So I think I get it. :P

I think if anyone was going to get nuked by Iran at this point, it would be Israel.
Expect a complete s*** of complaints from them about this.

I'm not so sure; They'll target the U.S. first, because we have the most power, or China, because they have the most people to kill.

Either way, it's over. Iran's gone nuclear now, so anyone who's not a Muslim is as good as dead, unless the nations of the World f*** DO SOMETHING.

Well, Israel have nuclear arsenal themselves. Iran would better not be that stupid, though I do not get the impression Ahmedinejad cares that much for the Iranian people (but Lieberman certainly doesn't).

We're talking about the guys who strap themselves to high explosives believing that it'll help them commit Genocide. OF COUSE THEY'RE THAT STUPID!

Although, here's why I'm pretty sure they won't bomb Israel; The capital is Jerusalem, which happens to be the same city they were fighting over for more than a thousand years.

America, however, is screwed.

Those are Palestinians and quite a few do that because of the blockade of Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank.

If any nation is not going to be screwed, it's the US. Well, not from an outside threat, maybe from internal infighting due to petty politics.

Yeah, you're right. We do outnumber their arsenal by who knows how much. If they strike here, bye-bye, Tehran.

Still, though, you do understand why I'm scared about this, right? I mean, I live in the U.S., the country which the Taliban's stated quite explicitly was their primary target. Although, I seem to be the only user here that does...

Peofin, kindly shut up. The Taliban is no position to attack anyone. And we're not talking about the Taliban in the first place.
Iran has made it quite clear what it intends to do to Israel. They've never said anything about China, but Israel and Iran have had a very long history of violence. Their goal isn't to simply slaughter a s*** of people. If anyone's going to be at the receiving end of an Iranian nuke, it's Israel. But if Israel f*** up Iran in retaliation... I think we'd see a massive domino effect.

Stereotyping at it's finest. That percentage, as Villrear said, is a very small amount of radical Palestinians.

On topic, though.
If Iran feel that they can develop fusion power, let them. While it may simply be a cover-up, prying will just make matters worse than they already are. Western nations should keep their fingers out of this pie for the time being.
If anything does happen however, action will most certainly happen then.

So they're going to nuke some of their own most sacred artifacts? Would they?...

....Yup, they're that stupid.

Shut your mouth, you uneducated s***. You have no idea what you're talking about, and your continued posting is doing little but derailing the thread by making posts like this a necessary addition.

Actually, I didn't say that, but it is true.

The UN can also demand insight, as they have any right to it. Furthermore, I am sure some of the Sunni nations surrounding Iran are also worried by the possibility. So I think there'll be pressure on Iran anyway.

... What? Though I suppose they'd sooner bomb Tel Aviv than Jerusalem, but if they would throw a hydrogen bomb on Jerusalem, they would certainly destroy the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. I'm not sure how much the Iranian Shi'ites in power care for those, though.

I'm also not sure if an H-bomb dropped on Tel Aviv could cause serious destruction to Jerusalem.

Nuking Jerusalem =/= Nuking Israel
