Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon

• TheRealKuni@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  It’s civilian scientists working on nuclear energy we are talking about.

  Is it though? What level of enrichment do they need for a nuclear energy program, and what level of enrichment were they at? I think it’s naive to say they weren’t working on a weapon.

  I’m not saying it justifies killing civilian scientists, but we ought to be honest about the why.

    Where is the evidence that they are working on a weapon? There are people getting murdered because people have become brainwashed enough to just assume Iran is working on a nukes.

    I’m just saying, killing civilians on the basis of assumption is a pretty terrorist move and feels very similar to how Iraq was bombed to hell by America. But hey, that’s just my 2 cents.

      According to the IAEA, the Natanz site was producing uranium enriched to 60% u-235.

      For electricity, you need 3-5% u-235.

      That’s not an energy program, that’s a weapons program.

        And it’s on the IAEA to declare that they are indeed working on a weapons program, not speculation and assumption like yours.

    I’m not saying they couldn’t be. I’m saying that the official body meant to oversee this has not yet put out proof that they are. So we can imagine all we want. If the professional independent watchdog that is checking for this has not officially made a statement with undeniable proof that they are, they aren’t.

    Who has more insight in the matter, you or the IAEA?
