*Sigh* here we go again, the consequences of the weak-man “peace-lovig” Democrat Middle Eastern policy.

I miss Trump. -.-

How does the enrichment process work? Is it real time consuming?

Trump could have bombed Iran back into the Stone Age, but his buddy Putin talked him out of it.

Well maybe they actually learned from stuxnet but anything can be sabotaged.

I don't seem to recall Trump making the best of nuclear proliferation however. The guy started every conflict he could short of an actual world war. IMO you want Nikki Haley for prez, you just think you want our sellout president back.

If this was directed at me, then you are simply wrong.

But Iran didn’t dare to enrich it that much; it’s not a coincidence that they just resumed it after Biden.

We, as Arab countries had a very bad history with Democrat presidents in general; Obama was the most hated American President in the entire Arab world, for many reasons (his friendly policy toward Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood was one of them). Trump on the other hand could put Iran in bay, froze funding channels of their proxies, fought ISIS, and succeeded to force peace between key Arab countries and Israel.

This one seems to be Obama#2 and he’s a very bad news to us. Iran and Turkey just got 10x bolder and more aggressive upon his arrival.

Of course it is not a coincidence; that would imply the enrichment was accidental.  No, it is more likely that Iran's government is deliberately testing the new administration to see how it will react.  So what if they enrich the uranium to 100%?  We might get to witness Tehran suddenly turning into a sea of radioactive slag ... accidentally, of course ...

My prediction of their reaction: nothing. The Iranians know this administration’s policy very well too.

I guess it would be time for major Arab nations like Egypt and Saudi Arabia to take a military action; like....accidentally blowing up some facility before they reach any higher. Like how it happened few times last year.

I don't really think a nihilistic dictator in the white house propped up by Zionist nuts is good for anyone in the long run.

Wait, are you referring to Biden? as far as I know, he’s way more Zionist than Trump; actually this one is literally a Zionist.

Looks like the opposite. Iran is retaliating against Trump tearing up the Iran Nuke Treaty of 2015, and retaliating against Trump provoking them by assassinating that general.

Oh and they waited him to leave the White House to retaliate.

That makes so much sense.

Nevermind Biden actually runs a secular government, whereas Trump made power grabs among those people by moving an embassy. Are you seriously sure you want a reality TV clown capitalizing on rich religious lunatics' outside views & motives regarding the middle east?

Just because our friend might get what he wants out of it doesn't mean Americans are OK with our chief representative controlling world affairs using fear.

Build an uranium enrichment works I guess.
