Subject: Re: Iran - The Difference in Assessment
But that wasn't the question. The question was, "why will they pose any less of a danger to restart and rebuild their nuclear program once we stop actually bombing them?"


Because it takes facilities and live engineers to build weapons. Blow up the facilities and kill their engineers, it's much harder.

This isn't me being argumentative. I genuinely don't understand the reasoning. A few months ago, we had destroyed their equipment, leaving them with only whatever material they had previously refined. So if Iran was in a position to restart their nuclear program and advance quickly to a weapon then, why won't they be able to do so in a few weeks or months from now?

Will we let them? That's the question. Also why this needs to play out.
