is iran justified to enrich uranium?

Question

is iran justified ti enrich uranium.

Answer 1

Yes , they are, its time we give them an up close demo, LIKE
DROPPING A NUKE ON THEM.

Answer 2

No

There are many countries in the world that can enrich Uranium to weapon grade, but choose not to. Countries like Canada, Norway, Italy and Japan all have the technical means to create nuclear weapons, but manage to live peacefully without them.

Russia has already offered to provide uranium FREE OF CHARGE to Iran, so there is no need for Iran to create its own.

Iran accepts gifts, subsidies, charity, relief, and other incentives to develop and rebuild damaged or underdeveloped parts of their economy.

They have no legitimate need to enrich Uranium locally, except as a means to develop weapons. the world has more than enough such weapons already.

If Iran thinks that by holding a few nuclear weapons, they can make the US back down, they are sadly and fatally misguided.

If the US did not back down from the USSR with its THOUSANDS of nuclear weapons, what sane person thinks they will worry about a half dozen or so primitive weapons in the hands of a country that enjoys no sympathy from the US voting public?

Any American president would become instantly a hero by destroying what Americans will certainly perceive as the next great Muslim threat.

This is not an issue of who is moral or who is right or what rights are involved.

it is simple pragmatism.

Do not stare into the sun, do not spit into the wind, do not provoke the world's sole super power militarily.

Answer 3

Strictly yes. But there is a catch. They have hidden from IAEA (the UN watchdog)some plant and machinery for a long time. This is what has brought suspicion. Also with the current terrorism scenario being what it is the West can at its own peril allow Iran a shia Muslim country to possess nuclear weapon,for danger of passing them on to Hezbollah are real and extermination of Israel becomes a real possibility which Civilized world can not allow under any circumstance. So in the ultimate analysis Allow enrichment for power but under watch.

Answer 4

Would Hitler have been justified to do so? I think the justification is in the intent. Iran's intent is to kill Jews, so I say they are not justified.

By the way, your English is a bit off. The proper formation of your question is, "is Iran justified IN enriching uranium?". Those prepositions are always so tricky.

Answer 5

irans nuclear program is a top priority for the iranian leadership, particularly since the arrival of ahmadinejab in the summer of '05. since then the regime of the islamic republic of iran has succeeded in tying nuclear ambition to iranian national honor, making the nuclear file a point of national consensus, whether within iran or among the overwhelming majority of the opposition abroad. the regimes survival and popular support for iranian sovereign ambitions are tied, the latter becoming a new source of legitmacy of the iranian regime. the regime cant just drop it and survive so "justified" to us and the world is not the same as justified to them. of course the world is better off if no-one has nukes but in this instance it is the iranian move to nuclear weapons that would hinder US plans to dominate the entire middle east.

Answer 6

Just as America, Russia, Israel, Pakistan and India are justified to have enriched their own. It is a freedom for all nations from west to east, and from north to south to enrich whatever they like, since others has their own.
