The Pentagon has halted shipments of critical US Patriot air defence systems and other precision weapons to Ukraine after concern that US stockpiles are running too low, prompting alarm in Kyiv.

At the end of last week’s Nato summit, Donald Trump hinted that supplies of Patriot missile interceptors were running down because some had been supplied to Israel, though he suggested he would like to help Kyiv.

After a meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the US president acknowledged that Ukraine did “want to have the anti-missile systems, as they call the Patriots, and we’re going to see if we can make some available”.

But Trump added: “They’re very hard to get. We need them. We were supplying them to Israel,” implying that supporting Israel in its war with Iran – a priority for the Republican administration – had set back its willingness to help Kyiv.

Nuclear power needs 5% enriched uranium. Iran has publicly stated they are doing 60%.

[–] rumimevlevi 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nukes need 90%. You keep ignoring what i am saying so i will repeat them again.

Netenyahu claimed that iran is near to build nukes for 30 years. During obama deal , iran respected it's obligation and kept the enrichement to 3%. If netenyaho was right and iran really wantes that, iran would have nukes back then. Then trump tear off the deal as a pressure iran enchriched to 60% and didn't enrich about that for 4 years. Netanyahu was still claiming iran is within weeks to build nukes. So if they wanted to iran would have enriched above that despite no longer have obligation to respect the deal term that was ripped out.

So your excuse of the beginning that israel only attacked iran because of the nuclear program is BS. You are unintetionally supporting the illegal war against Iran

Why did Iran enrich uranium to 60% at tremendous cost in underground bunkers? Again this isn't hearsay or propaganda. Iran has said they did this.

Why didn't they enrich over 60% despite no longer having the obligation to respect terms of a shut down deal? Again usa inteligence said they are not persuing nuclear weapon. You know bettwr than them

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Iran has been very clear. Again I need to reiterate this is direct from Iran, not any other source, that they said they began the enrichment program because of Trump's attack 4 years ago.

No , they wasn't.Again there is no indication of building nukes. you are really persiatant are you?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The only reason for enrichment to that level is because it is a step towards a weapon. Iran publicly said they were doing it as a response to an attack.

Imagine this scenario:

"Japan bombs Pearl Harbor"

Roosevelt radio address : "In response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the US is going to spend $30 Billion to begin enriching Uranium in a top secret location."

Japanese citizens: "The US is spending billions enriching Uranium in top secret locations for no reason. They don't have a bomb yet so you can't say it's for a weapon."

Come on.

False. When you claim something you should back it up with clear proofs. Besides israel known for lying and trump cite me a single reputable party that explicitly say iran made the decision to build nuke.

If you can't just stop being stubborn and move on

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I gave you an analogy. You can't say a hypothetical analogy is false

They explicitly said they were enriching Uranium as a response to Trump's attack.

[–] rumimevlevi 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You are so dumb. I didn't ask about them continuing enrichement . Answer the question where did you see that they are making nukes ?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

You are so dumb.

Insults because you don't have an argument.

Where in my analogy did Roosevelt say they were making a bomb? Do you apply the same rules to everyone? When Trump annouced that he's building concentration camps did you defend him saying, "He didn't call it a concentration camp." I bet you did.

Iran responded to a military attack by announcing Uranium enrichment. They're not stupid. They wouldn't say, "We are building a bomb." when there is opportunity for negotiations before it gets to that.
