Israel did a favor for the whole world, and gets condemned and isolated for its efforts.
“Scoop: Israel destroyed active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, officials say,” by Barak Ravid, Axios, November 15, 2024:
The Israeli attack on Iran in late October destroyed an active top secret nuclear weapons research facility in Parchin, according to three U.S. officials, one current Israeli official and one former Israeli official.
Why it matters: The strike — which targeted a site previously reported to be inactive — significantly damaged Iran’s effort over the past year to resume nuclear weapons research, Israeli and U.S. officials said.
One former Israeli official briefed on the strike said it destroyed sophisticated equipment used to design the plastic explosives that surround uranium in a nuclear device and are needed to detonate it.
Iran has denied it is pursuing nuclear weapons. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement last week that “Iran is not after nuclear weapons, period.”
The Iranian mission to the UN declined to comment for this story.
The incoming Trump administration will include several key national security and foreign policy officials who are hawkish on Iran, which could lead to increased U.S. pressure on the Islamic Republic.
Driving the news: One of the targets of the Israeli strike on Oct. 25 was the Taleghan 2 facility in the Parchin military complex, about 20 miles southeast of Tehran.
The facility was part of the Iranian Amad nuclear weapons program until Iran halted its military nuclear program in 2003. It was used for testing explosives needed to set off a nuclear device, according to the Institute for Science and International Security.
High-resolution satellite imagery acquired by the institute after the Israeli strike showed the Taleghan 2 building was completely destroyed.
Behind the scenes: Israeli and U.S. officials said the activity that took place recently at the Taleghan 2 facility was part of an effort inside the Iranian government to conduct research that could be used for the development of nuclear weapons but could also be presented as research for civilian purposes….

iran ‘denies’ trying to go nuclear, but brags that it will be able to launch a nuclear weapon ‘soon.’
Much gnashing of the teeth going on in that big house in tehragaski.
Siddi Nasrani says
Who would believe anything that comes out of the mouths of the lying officials. If you do you do not no Islam the way I do. Do your homework.
somehistory says
My homework? Or are you writing to some other person on here?
The “some history” is because *I have ****some history**** regarding mozlums and islam.*
I did my fair share of “homework” taking courses to understand why mozlums were acting toward me and their own families as I personally witnessed.
I wouldn’t believe a mozlum as far as I could throw an elephant. Unless he was threatening me.

Siddi Nasrani, Somehistory is one of the most knowledgeable posters here. She never said she believed the Mullah’s lies.
somehistory says
Thank you very much, g.
James Lincoln says
Yes, gravenimage.
somehistory is very intelligent- and knows the truth about islam.
somehistory says
Thank you so very much, James.
I was trying, making an attempt, to point out the two different claims made by the government of iran….opposing claims.
Certainly they have been trying to be a nuclear capable nation for a long time, so to deny it, is a big lie. And they, contrarily, say they will have the nuclear weapons soon.
Now, maybe not so soon as they believed. Thus the gnashing of their teeth in anger and frustration.
Walter Sieruk says
Israel has every ethical and practical right stop by bombing that active nuclear research site of that aggressive and hostile Islamic regime of Iran. Such nuclear armed missile production and other deadly weapons manufacturing stations in that antagonistic and belligerent “mullah regime” of Iran that every intention to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.
–
As the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, wisely, had declared “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Walter Sieruk says
The foundation of this whole Islamic “Republic “of Iran is based on the “holy book” of Islam the Quu ‘an, as in 47;4. Some call this religious book, the Qur ‘an. All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?”
The jihadists use many verses from the Qur ‘an as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qur ‘an with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Qur’ an differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical.
Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qur ‘an to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.”
In addition in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Qur ‘ an was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’
Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax , therefore that Islamic regime of Iran is built on a foundation of sand.
skeptiker says
Alle Religionen entspringen der Phantasie von uns Menschen. Kann ja für den Zusammenhalt einer Menschengruppe hilfreich sein, Orientierung geben und sinnstiftend sein. Religionen waren und sind auch immer Inspiration für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Selbst die Charta der Allgeimen universellen Menschenrechte beruhen auf den 10 Geboten der christlichen Religion.
Aber, die moderne westliche Zivilisation mit all ihren Rechten und Freiheiten, musste gegen den Widerstand des Klerus durchgesetzt werden. Ohne die strikte Trennung von Kirche und Staat, wäre der Fortschritt, wie wir ihn heute kennen, nie möglich gewesen.
