    You are right, and we have all the right in the world not to trade with them if we don't want to.

    I love how the rest of the world acts like "it is their right" to trade with the US.

    What a joke

    I'll ignore the strawman in your post.

    I've read the speech. I've noticed it mentions Iran's blatant disregard over the years for the international treaty it signed on its own accord - the nonproliferation treaty. I wonder why would anyone trust Iran to be in compliance with a new agreement, knowing that it violated previous agreements.

    Your sources apparently missed this part of the 2018 IAEA report:
    http://isis-online.org/uploads/iaea-reports/documents/IAEA_Iran_report_Nov2018.pdf

    As already mentioned, IAEA reports conceal certain details, but your sources don't respect their readers enough to provide them with proper information.

    There was no strawman in my post.

    How is point 26 as you quoted relevant? It says nothing to support your argument.

    What details? Can you point out one thing from the report that clearly proves Iran is in violation of the agreement?

    Sanctions are not warranted if Iran is in compliance and you are imposing them on other countries that deal with Iran not just yourself - a form of economic warfare that will hurt ordinary Iranians and give support to hardliners that say you can never trust the US.

    Hardly a joking matter.

    You don't need nukes to wipe out Tel Aviv, Israel and Haifa. Those 3 cities combined don't even reach over 1.5 million. Without them 3 cities,... there is basically nothing much left in Israel than a bunch of towns. Israel simply is very small country. While Iran is just utterly massive.

    I just argued that it's the US who is more evil. And all you can do about it is ignoring the truth.

    Point 26 clearly states that the investigation is ongoing. The report is not final.

    I can't point out one thing in the report. I can however point out inconsistencies and contradictions between various statements issued by IAEA over the years. Those inconsistencies and contradictions prove that one report does not a compliant Iran make.

    Statement by IAEA Director General, 2007:
    https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pre...tor-general-new-us-intelligence-estimate-iran

    Statement by IAEA Director General, 2017:
    https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/statements/director-generals-speech-on-iran-the-jcpoa-and-the-iaea

    There's a huge difference between El Baradei's "no concrete evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program" for 2003-2007, and Yukiya Amano's "found Iran to be in non-compliance with its safeguards obligations" for the same period. An innocent rose vs a giant mushroom.

    Lol, I didn't know Israel was 1 of those "3 cities". So, you left out Jerusalem, and Muslims will be pissed your leaving them out. Tel Aviv metropolitan area has a population 3,854,000...."don't even reach over 1.5 million", lol.

    Yes, Israel is a small country, but Israel can destroy "utterly massive" Iran easily, with or without nukes. Non-nuclear WMD first-strikes against Israel would elicit an Israeli nuclear reprisal. Israeli non-nuclear preemptions against military targets in Iran would elicit substantial enemy biological warfare reprisals, and, reciprocally, Israeli nuclear counter-retaliations. It would not be fun, but Israel would survive...Iran wouldn't.

    You are talking about murdering 3 million civilians. This is WW3. The last regime that tried such a thing got the whole world into a war that lasted 5 years and cost the life of tens of millions of all nations. Do not think it will be any differet this time.
    And there will not be a Marshal plan once it is done.
