FYI: Treaty On The Non-Profiliration Of Nuclear Weapons

[TuskCracker]

TREATY ON THE NON-PROLIFIRATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Negotiations on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons started during 1950's. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was finally concluded in 1968, came into force in 1970 and up to this date was signed by 187 states.

-> Three countries did not sign; India, Pakistan, and Israel

-> North Korea and Iran did sign !

-> Isreal didn't sign. I understand that.

-> Why India and Pakistan get away with it

I do not want to hear;

"ISRAEL" has nuclear weapons then EGYPT, SAUDIA ARABIA, IRAN, TURKEY, DUBAI, MOROCCO, and ... on and on..., can have nuclear weapons.


Think long-and-hard about this (Shiite versus Sunni hatred for one). !

The text of the treaty is here:

It is important to remember that mere signature on a treaty doesn't create any international legal obligations. Ratification is the process that makes the treaty binding on a state.

When did Iran get nuclear weapons? That is the presumption isn't it?

Treaties don't always contain behavior. Remember all the treaties broken before the start of the last World War.

IRAN is hiding nuclear technology that is banned by the treaty.

IRAN is "faking" civilian nuclear power, to hide the technology to build an atomic bomb.

IRAN has lied to weapon inspectors, many many times in the past. Credibility of receiving the truth, from IRAN, is very low.

IRAN is doing Unranium enrichment that only makes sense if you want to make an atomic bomb (nuclear reactor less strong enrichment, atomic bomb very high level of enrichment).

JackInBox, so how close would you say Iran is to making a nuclear weapon?

You have asked "the million dollar question".


North Korea and rogue states move fast on stuff like this. "Safety" is n-o-t a big issue for them. A couple scientist and engineers dead or sick with radiation is n-o-t a concern !

JackInBox, would ten years sound about right?

OK,Three Points

01) Look how fast North-Korea went from fuel-rods to a Nuke

02) They guy is right, Iran will move faster, ignoring Western culture of safety

03) ARAB culture was (past-tense) for creating a lot of Mathematics (ahead of Europe. I have a college degree in math)

So even with a college degree in math would you say ten years?

By the way, for point 3 about arab culture - Iran isn't an arab country!
