The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They were under zero obligations after that deal sunset.

And they were under zero obligations once Trump abrogated the deal. Which is why they went from well under even the level of low enrichment for inefficient weapons to getting to that two-week breakout time frame. All breaking the deal did was put us immediately into the sunset that you're so worried about, as far as Iran's obligations were concerned.

Oh, and also the reason I brought it up - it showed that Trump cannot be relied upon to honor agreements. So the offer of enriched uranium for their nuclear power was never going to work, because there's no way that Iran could count on it being honored.

We’ve done more to knock back their ballistic missiles production than anything in the last 40 years already.

So? Once the war ends, they'll be able to rebuild that ballistic missile production. They've got a fairly substantial industrial base to their economy overall, so you're not getting much strategic benefit from doing this.

Have they, now.

Yes, they have.
