Will we be justified in using nuclear weapons in the coming war with Iran?

Question

Instead of losing hundreds of American lives, as it's happened in Iraq, should we launch a nuclear attack on Tehran, Mashad and Isfahan? In the long term, it may save many lives. The war would be over in one hour.

Answer 1

No. Have you seen the tallied loss of lives? On either side? Lets just pretend its not happening and keep consuming enormous amounts of fuel. Let us not quit until the entire universe hates us. Have you lost anyone yet? blink. And now? Vote next time.

Answer 2

Their is no need to use nukes in Iran. We have the ability to do the same damage without the use of Nuclear weapons as can be done with nuclear weapons. A Fuel-Air bomb will start a fire storm which will do the same damage as a nuclear weapon if used correctly. The only advantage the nuclear weapons gives is the shock and awe that we would actually use them again. I would be very reluctant to use Nuclear weapons, but I would not rule them out entirely either. It has been over 60 years since nuclear weapons have been used in a war. Perhaps people have forgotten the destruction a nuclear weapon is capable of. The only target that a nuclear weapon would be a reasonable choice for would be the underground sites in question which Iran has been putting their nuclear equipment. The fact that it is as hardened as it is would make it a good target for a Bunker Buster Nuclear Weapon. The majority of the blast would be contained under ground. Other than this, conventional weapons will do just fine and with less political problems.

Answer 3

We won't need to use nuclear weapons to eliminate the Iranian threat to the middle east.

If anyone does go nuclear on Iran, it will be Israel. And they'll only do that if Iran gets the bomb. And that seems less likely now, as the Russians have pulled out.

Without help from the Russians, I doubt the Iranians are smart enough to do it on their own. The Iranians are working from the same plans that the N. Koreans used, and theirs was a dud.

Answer 4

And what about the millions of lives from such attack from a nuclear fallout.. no one can justify a nuclear attack.. Iran has the right to nuclear power and even a nuclear weapon. Just because the Jews and American/Anglo's do not like it does not mean they can not have them. You have imperialist racist views my confused friend. try reading some books on nuclear winters and chernobyl and wwII and what happend in Japan. and maybe you will understand that only warmongering american patriots like you have no idea what you are thinking or talking about. Try asking a sensible question about diplomacy and peace? instead of mass murder and genoicde.

Answer 5

The conventional bombs in the second world war were called blockbusters as they had the power to erase an entire block of houses.
The energy released for ALL of these bombs was equal to 2 megatons.
2 megatons is all the death and pain that rained down during the 2nd. WW
A single termonuclear bomb, nowadays, has the same power. Used efficiently, not along 6 years but in an instant, a nuc can cause several damage for the entire planet, we don´t need it to happen again

Answer 6

What makes you think that a war with Iran is even likely?

People have been predicting an imminent war with Iran for 25 years and have been wrong for the past 25 years. With that kind of track record - why should we listen to them?

Answer 7

unfortunatly a war with iran will happen, but a nuclear weapon should not be used. that will be the reason for war in the first place. hopefuly the war in iraq has taught all the sheeple in this country a thing or two, and we all act like we are at war and we "ALL" support our troops.

Answer 8

Who ought to take action? A UN with fake tooth that shop falling out of its mouth? the u . s . a . that's economically ruined by utilising its pointless involvement in the so-referred to as "conflict on terrorism"? the united kingdom with worse financial issues? France with its rigidity assaults until eventually the French can locate a thank you to withdraw their squaddies and to guard their national treasure? NATO is damaging to any involvement here by utilising a communist or socialist us of a? as quickly as lower back, who ought to become in contact? yet another G summit? And forbid the outcomes if Israel gets stupid sufficient to respond? enable's settle for it, after sufficient time for the form of nuclear weapons, Iran will grow to be yet another nuclear skill and there will be further improve in the nuclear hands race-- lower back.

Answer 9

I know there has to be sensible people somewhere in the US so here's a plan - You and GW invite all the other uneducated, ignorant sh*ts from around the world to a holiday at Camp David so we can nuke it, then we can finally settle down to a peaceful world.
If GW didn't go starting wars to control the worlds oil then you wouldn't be losing all those lives in Iraq.

Answer 10

We won't attack Iran or North Korea, as they actually have WMDS.
