They probably did already lol.


You do realise that nuclear weapons are very traceable? Even after detonation the fissile material can be traced back to the plant, and often the specific reactor, that produced it?

I’m no specialist nuke but I do have some very minor understanding of nuclear weaponry and nuclear chemistry. They can be traced back to the plant only if they are actually used during either an attempted detonation or a nation declaring its intent. While I highly doubt that either China or Russia have given nuclear weaponry to Iran it’s within the realm of possibility.

They could have done that at anytime.


Probably already have tbh. It's why we should give Poland and Taiwan nukes, repay the favor. If they haven't, they will just give them what is needed to spark a crisis, as they did with the Norks.

No it isn't.

Neither Russia or China want to get wiped off the face of the planet by the US if Iran nuked Israel.

Does the Iranians have the capability of striking Israel with a nuclear weapon either via an aerial bomber or the usage of an ICBM? What does the specific treaty between the United States and Israel states as to the defensive measures on first strike, is it counted as a direct strike against the US mainland?

Well you're the one imagining that Russia or China has given Iran a nuke. Which nuke have they given them?

And it would be an IRBM. Iran and Israel are pretty close.

The nomenclature between icbms and Iran’s are not very different just it method of transportation.

I don’t belong have top level clearance of nuclear weaponry in the governments of China or Ruskin to tell you.

ICBM is InterContinental Ballistic Missile. IRBM is Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile. This is US nomenclature.

And given that, on what do you base your supposition that Russia or China has given Iran the bomb?

No it’s definitely not. The only thing changing is the method of transport NOT it’s actual payload. A very similar comparison would be a 107 vs a browning. Both are delivering the same payload but one has a better maximum effective range.

Nope that’s about the nomenclature.

But with things such as operation merlin, the recent aircraft crash that had Soviet Union era nuclear physicists being transported to Iran and the fact that Israel has the capacity of nuclear weaponry it is a disgression.

An ICBM and an IRBM are different missiles. The Navy and Air Force will not conflate them.

And you've still not shown anything that would prove that Russia or China have sent a bomb to Iran.

The Hill: GOP senators: We want vote on any North Korea deal

Republican senators said on Tuesday that they want the Trump administration to submit any final deal between the United States and North Korea to Congress for a vote.

[...]

Sending any agreement to the Senate in the form of a treaty would require the deal to get bipartisan support and win over two-thirds of the chamber. The Obama-era State Department rankled congressional Republicans when it defined the Iran nuclear deal as a "nonbinding agreement" instead of a treaty.

[...]

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicated earlier this month that the administration intended to give a document to Congress for their approval.

If the deal is objectively good, I think they could get enough Democrats to pass it. If it’s crap though, I doubt they could even get all the Republicans to support it.

It was a beautiful moment, absolutely. Hopefully it leads to no nuclear war.

It'll probably lead to broken promises from both sides, a chill in relations, and the opening of a new facility in North Korea as the US resumes military excercises. That's my take.

Please spend 4 minutes of your life to watch this video. It is not satire. It was produced by the White House to convince North Korea's brutal dictator to 'shake the hand of peace'. Watch it...
