Iran's decision to pursue uranium enrichment appears to have been strategically misguided, ultimately provoking Israel's preemptive strikes on their nuclear facilities. While Iran maintains the program was intended solely for civilian energy production, this approach created unnecessary geopolitical tensions and missed significant opportunities.

If Iran's goal was genuinely peaceful nuclear energy, thorium reactor technology would have been a far superior path. Unlike conventional uranium-based reactors, thorium reactors represent cutting-edge technology with inherent proliferation resistance. Pursuing thorium, leadership could have positioned Iran as a global innovator in next-generation nuclear energy, potentially creating lucrative export opportunities while avoiding the international suspicion that uranium enrichment inevitably attracts.

Perhaps more importantly, Iran could have invested heavily in solar and battery technology, especially considering the abundant sunlight the country receives. Iran's geographic position provides exceptional solar irradiation, particularly in its southern and central regions, making it naturally suited for large-scale solar development. The resources devoted to uranium enrichment and the costs of subsequent sanctions could have funded massive solar installations and cutting-edge battery storage systems. This would have addressed Iran's stated energy needs while creating genuine economic opportunities, potentially establishing Iran as a regional leader in solar technology manufacturing and export.

Alternatively, if Iran sought to enhance its military capabilities, the massive resources devoted to nuclear development could have been allocated more effectively to advanced drone technology and precision weaponry. Such investments would have delivered greater tactical advantages at a fraction of the cost, while generating far less international opposition and sanctions.

From a strategic perspective, Iran's nuclear path has yielded significant costs - economic sanctions, military strikes, and international isolation - while failing to achieve either stated objective: credible civilian nuclear capability or meaningful military deterrence. The solar alternative would have been particularly resilient, as distributed solar installations are far more difficult to disable through targeted attacks than centralized nuclear facilities. Regardless of one's views on Iran's regional role, this pattern of decision-making demonstrates a fundamental failure in strategic judgment by Iran's leadership.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did it on purpose. He wanted heavy sanctions which would increase corruption to insane levels and allow him and his friends to become very wealthy. He was an Israeli asset. All this recent bullshit started with him.

Best Korea proves that having nukes is absolutely necessary, espeically when dealing with kikes

Israel literally stole nuclear technology from the US.
To this day it keeps an unknown arsenal of nuclear weapons which, unlike literally every other country, are free from any inspections of oversight. In fact they don't officially acknowledge having them, despite....having them.

Israel is freaking out over iran because it believes Iran is half as duplicitous as them.
In reality Iran has totally complied with all international agreements, while Israel has flagrantly violated them.

Iran so far from last 2 decades had been weeks away from building a nuke.

Iran is just a principled state. Israel would leave them alone if they just let Israel do whatever it wanted in the region, which is expand their territory and displace millions of Muslims. Opposing Israeli dominance is the real reason for all sanctions, military strike and isolation.

No. Every nation should have nukes to be allowed to fight back and be sovereign.

If you give a few guns that they’re allowed to brandish and threaten you with, guess what, you are at their mercy and their bitch.

Preferably no nukes would be better (I guess?), but since some have nukes, if you want to be sovereign you need nukes too.

Literally a bunch of horseshit. Israel obtained nuclear technology through Jewish networks in France. They might have occasionally stolen something from the US as well but their main nuclear outfit was from France.

>>507324502
That's not the point. The point was that a capable arsenal of drones are objectively better than a nuke - for many reasons.

So does Ukraine. These bloodthirsty kikes will never stop

There were no other options back in the day. If it were possible to create cheap large swaths of drones way back then, one could make the argument, that this would also be a very strong deterrent.

The advantages of drones over nukes are obvious. Iran would also suffer if it turned Israel into a nuclear wasteland. Also every country in the vicinity would be affected by nuclear fallout.

Yeah and unlike uranium, thorium technology would be so expensive which is not possible for Iran to afford because of 40 years of sanctions

>>507328359
It's not expensive if you develop it yourself. Money is rarely the limiting factor: it's usually human resources and dedication.
