why does america threaten to attack iran if it doesnt stop uranium enrichment?

Question

uranium enrichment for weapons
when america did it no one stopped them even though america intended to use it against another country
the americans themselves supported terrorists like al quaeda, mujahedin, taliban and supported dictators and oppressors like saddam hussein and the shah of iran
now when iran is doing exactly what the Americans did decades ago america is threatening iran with war
im not sayin supportin terrorists is right they have attacked my country as well both the ones who used to be supported by americans and the other who were supported by arabs
but i hate when someone preaches somethin and practices somethin else and threatens other when they dont follow the preaching
and iran will never ever use WMDs against isreal its just propaganda weapon or psychological warfare they will lose everything and will be in complete isolation for such actions even from the closest of allies ie. russia india china and other arab states and they know that very well

for god sake even america didnt care about UN's decision about declaring war on iraq what right do they have to dictate to iran to listen to the UN

remember a time when america openly wanted to destroy communism and what do you care about jews everyone knew they were being butchered but no one took a step to stop it the only reason the allies entered the war was because poland was attacked otherwise no one would have a care in the world for the fate of the jews

slew they kidnapped ur diplomats because u were trying to screw their country and they proved it

heres two links for ur reference

Answer 1

why do the Iranians have to listen to the UN and America went against there decision to not attack Iraq .its not one rule for Iran and an other for America. if you look at the stats no country went in more wars than America since 1940.they were the only ones that used atomic bombs and nuclear bombs against other countries.so the un should halt enrichment of uranium for America not Iran.also some people said that president of Iran said ''Israel should be wiped from the map''.he did not say that the American government just twisted his words so they have a reason to wage war against them to rob it of its oil.he said that ''Israel is an illegal state and he hoped that they fall from the page in history''. meaning that in the future you will see Israels rise and fall

Answer 2

Because if we didnt know the effects of it etc we had to do it to end a war that would of resulted in 100 million more people dying if there was a ground invasion and also we where a stable country back then and now that is questionable but iran is not stable at all i would rank there ability to guard sensitive materials a 6 well the russian army can do a assualt on that with a 7 because if they get the bomb it will disapear shortly after they have it and then a giant clowd will go over isreal and those terroirsts will frame iran making it look like they did it and then the whole entire middle east will go up in flames!!!!!thats why the classic i dont tell its missing to keep it under control til its to late and no one beleives me
but even if they said i t was missing would israel beleive them any ways?no.

Answer 3

When did America threaten to attack Iran? Can you provide a link to your source?

Updated answer : Thanks for emailing me the link. Keep in mind a few things though.

1) The United States Congress has made it clear that the President will not be granted the authority to attack Iran

2) The President, as Commander in Chief of the military could attack without the approval of congress but congress has the power to cut funding. Meaning congress can take away the money to pay for the attack which would make any attack short lived.

3) The American people are finally starting to wake up and support of this president is very low. I do not think the American people would support an attack.

I do not think Iran should have nukes. I do not think any country should have nukes. I think our government needs to learn more about diplomacy though.

If Iran were to strike first though, make no mistake, the President would then have all the support he needs. The United States will protect Israel

Answer 4

Iran is a threat to the US. With nuclear weapons, they could cause significant damage in an instant. THis would require a response, and probably cause a world war. The US would prefer a regional war as opposed to a world war with major environmental / long term effects.

Iran said "Israel should be wiped off the map". Having a nuke weapon would give them the means to do that.

The US developed the nuclear bomb during WWII to defeat the Japanese. The cat is out of the bag, and we cannot put it back in.

Answer 5

Even Mr Bush ought to understand that to atack Iran could be fully stupid in view of fairly the fiasco he's made up of Iraq. after all, unlike Iraq, Iran has extremely a life like air rigidity and a few effective missiles, so an attack on Iran does no longer be a 'stroll over'. in addition to, i do no longer think of the american human beings might help an attack on Iran after Bush and his neocon fellow visitors lied to them relating to the justifications for attacking Iraq. enable's wish international leaders will attempt to stay with Winston Churchill's dictum that 'Jaw Jaw is extra effectual than conflict conflict'. If it does no longer, then we are all going to be affected adversely for the foreseable destiny.

Answer 6

When have we threatened to attack Iran?

Get a clue people - we have not made any threat of military action against Iran.

In fact our strategy has focused on economic and diplomatic strangulation.

Answer 7

I haven't heard or read that threat myself. Can you document that?

For about the past 30 years though Iran's ayatollahs have threatened America, I do remember that being a common theme. Can you have gotten it backward?

Answer 8

OK Karen, how young are you??? Iran kidnapped our diplomats. Thats a declaration of war. Basically that gives us a free pass to do what every we like to them. Yes we made mistakes in the pass, but war with Iran is self defense. they violate a major tenant of diplomacy, that means we can reciprocate with violating some rules ourselves. YK, you say the Iraninas will never use nukes. Well breaking rules of Diplomacy states other wise. What reassurance do we have when the Iranians injured our diplomats that they are civilized,.

Answer 9

The US and the UN are afraid that Iran will develop and export nuclear weapons after enrichment to foreign countries and terror groups who would use them against western targets world wide and Israel in particular. This is what they think.

Answer 10

Its because the US government can! There are alot of countries that dont want Iran or anyone else for that matter to have nuclear weapons we are just implementing the wishes of the UN
