Wow. +23 -3 on a verifiably false claim. So this place can be as dumb as reddit. Iran has known enrichment facilities, remember the whole " Iran nuclear deal" last time?

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is enrichment the same as weapons?

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Nope. No way to tell them apart without in person inspection. It's like the difference between vodka and everclear; both use the same distillation gear but with different goals

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Too bad we tore up the treaty that allowed us to do those inspections and then launched a sneak attack instead of finishing the talks that we're about to establish another treaty.

It's almost like war was the goal the whole time.

if only there were some international treaty body that recently did an in person inspection in Iran and did find that they were enriching uranium with the goal of getting weapon grade uranium.

LOL look at this guy
Explain your scientificly valid "vodka and everclear" explanation to the dumbasses of the IAEA who clearly stated there wasn't an arms program.
I'm sure you have a degree in Nucular science from the Dubya University of Intelligence. 🤡

You don't understand the similarities between chemical distillation and nuclear enrichment? Do you want a more in depth explaination of both processes or do I need to use smaller words or something?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, I've distilled some moonshine with fractional distillation in my back yard, next week a nuclear bomb, how hard can it be?
Jeez, stop embarrassing yourself.

Why did I ask. You're obviously a distillation and drinking pro.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

time to piss off troll yo're boring me

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

OK drinking pro. GL with nuclear physics.
