    They claim themselves to have a weapons program, I’m not sure why they would make that claim if they didn’t.

      Have they claimed to have a nuclear weapons program? We know they have a weapons weapon program which they’ve used to target US bases (and sold to Russia), but as far as I’m aware they’ve never claimed to have or be building nukes. That’s an accusation that’s been levied against then since before I was born, but not one that’s been proven in any meaningful way.

        You’re right, they’re just refining uranium far beyond what is needed for any peaceful purpose for funzies.

        Come on dude.

            OK, so what do you think they need it for? I don’t actually blame them for wanting nukes, but it’s pretty difficult to say they’re not building them.

              Probably to demonstrate the technical capability of producing it, if I were to bet. But that’s not a weapons program. Not even close.

          And what of it? Several countries have nukes, what’s one more? A sovereign country developing them doesn’t automatically give another country the right to violate their sovereignty.

          They haven’t developed a full nuke yet and it’s got nothing to do with the fact that they are under attack.
