1. Monster Weapon to Stop Nazism .
Zechariah   (11.05.14)
These Terrible Weapons were based on the Horrow that the Nazis even the Bolshevics would get there first -Imagine if North Korea or the Khemer Rouge Types had got the weapon first .The way it was used is still immensely debatable and now a expansion of Proliferation bodes Ill.
2. Who is going to believe it?
Avi L.   (11.05.14)
Only those munich minded who just want to be swindled once more, it's nearly 10 years that Iran is spinning centrifuges and lies.
3. Now why didn't I think of that?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.05.14)
It's because I remember Chernobyl, that's why. And the KURSK.
4. Let putin put it in his mouth & brush his teeth with that
Moshe ,   Usa   (11.05.14)
uranium. Good Idea, yeah !
5. Obama's chicken diplomacy
CJK   (11.05.14)
in one clean sweep obama is hugely empowering russia, an adversary, and iran, an enemy. iran will allegedly hand over to russia much of its enriched uranium while keeping the essentials of its nuclear weapons program: iran will keep its uranium enrichment reactors at natanz and the one underground reactor at fordow; iran will be allowed to keep large numbers of centrifuges and the manufacturing plants of advanced centrifuges; iran wil keep its heavy water reactor at arak which will allow it to build plutonium bombs; iran will continue with its weaponisation program; iran will continue with experimentation on implosion devices and nuclear triggers. iran will continue to enrich uranium allowing it to build uranium bombs. at the same time, iran will get large sanctions relief. russia will continue to aid iran with its nuclear program by building new nuclear reactors making huge profits. russia will also make huge profits by converting the iranian enriched uranium into fuel rods. at the same time, russia will rescue iran, its ally and client, from isolation and sanctions thus turning iran into a major anti-western power. russia will recover its lost superpower influence in the middle east, while america's traditional allies will be left out in the desert heat.
6. Weaponisation by Iran is not addressed at all
CJK   (11.05.14)
the obama administration's sole concern is to increase the breakout time by at most a year. weaponisation, which is essential for both uranium and plutonium bombs, is not addressed. the deal as presented is a disgrace and will most certainly lead to a nuclear powered shia terror entity which will threaten the stability of the entire region and world peace. the shia terror regime will have the ability to engage in nuclear blackmail and nuclear terror.
7. How many ways are there to continue progress to breakout
(11.05.14)
Iran will accept any interim deal in any way that will allow it to achieve full nuclear breakout. If it cant be done using a uranium pathway they will try the plutonium route. All the have to do is string along USA and EU and all other superpowers and they will have become a threat to every nation on earth who doesn't agree with them
8. After the midterms, Iran MUST be bombed !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.05.14)
9. An elaborate hoax
V.R.Sonti ,   Lawrenceburg IN USA   (11.05.14)
Two points: 1: This is a Putin trap. 2: Iran already has nukes supplied by Pakistan. Let's see what BB will do!
10. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.05.14)
I agree with you on this being a Putin trap. I disagree with you on the point whether Pakistan has supplied nuclear weapons to Iran. Here's why: For starters, Israel watches Pakistan very, very closely. (That's how Israel acquired the information about Abbottabad, without which the U.S. would be looking for bin Laden still.) More importantly, nuclear powers fall into two categories: those that can actually deliver a tactical nuclear weapon and those that merely have them. Quite a few nations fall into the latter category; only four countries in the former; i.e., countries that have mastered the intricate miniaturization required to deliver a tactical nuclear weapon from a great distance away. These countries are the United States, Russia, China and Israel. Not even France or the U.K. have the requisite technology; mostly because they haven't bothered pursuing it, relying on NATO membership (the U.S.) should the need arise. Russian missiles, however, are notoriously fickle -- remember the SCUDs falling all over the place in the first Gulf War? One can, in theory, load a nuclear weapon into an aircraft, and drop it from 35,000 feet. But you'll never penetrate the airspace. India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons capabilities, but they do not have the requisite delivery system. As I said, it really has remained a small, exclusive club. North Korea has delivery capability, but they don't have nuclear weapons and they for a certainty do not have the requisite miniaturization capability. Of the four countries in the exclusive club, only the United States and Israel can reliably deliver tactical nukes from orbiting platforms, from submarines, or by use of ICBMs. Merely owning a nuclear weapon is a lot like owning a car with no tires.
11. *Raises eyebrows*
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (11.05.14)
Probably why Netanyahu is stirring up trouble in Jerusalem, remember him telling us that he would halt all of Iran's nuclear programme to get re-elected?
