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

  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.
