How close is Iran to producing an operational nuclear bomb? | DW News
Tensions between Israel and Iran have turned the spotlight on Tehran's nuclear capabilities. The West accuses Iran of using its civil nuclear program as a cover for developing weapons - which it denies. The head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, Rafael Mariano Grossi, warns that Iran 'is not cooperating with us in the way they should' regarding its atomic program

If they want to be free from sanctions ? If they dont want war ? 2 good reasons i think. Nuclear capabilities are a strong deterrent, Yes But it can also Be a Sure way to get attacked before Iran gets them ready (or too many). US/Israel has said they would not Accept Iran getting the bomb, so they would attack (like Israel did in Iraq and Syria). China would also attack Taiwan if they got or where close to get Nuclear Weapons (iam sure), if they waited? it would just make it impossible to attack later (when they had a full arsenal).

Each country that has been invaded after 1945, did not have nuclear capabilities. International law is WEAK. Furthermore, there isn't an international body that protects states from bullies. Iran should continue to pursuit nuclear capabilities to keep the global bullies at bay.

'what was there? where is it now?' ...that line got me
Do the Western nations and Senor Grossi show any concern about Israel's nuclear programme? or is it only Iran that they want to investigate for developing nuclear weapons?
Why Israel have nuke why not Iran and why they should even listen to West 🖕
Grossi is Western. So naturally he will be fair and objective and just. Just as West always is.
Unfortunately double standards have rendered IAEA irrelevant.
You talk about monitoring Iran's nuclear program. I like to ask you, who monitors the nuclear programs of the superpowers to prevent them from building Nuclear bombs?
At this point it seems to me that both Iran and Israel are some seriously bad countries, however only one is seen as such by the Western media. It's easy to be deluded into thinking that one people are inferior and need to be taken out. Look at Germany in the 30s and then at us + Israel nowadays. Meanwhile, Iran's fundamentalism is also contemptable.
You should tell what you are telling Iran to the superpowers, but it is always the same story that the rest of the nations can't build nuclear bombs only the superpowers can do nuclear bombs and can have them.
why IRAN cannot have a Nuclear weapon??? It is its choice and is a sovereign country ..
I thought Trump was the one that pulled out from the nuclear treaty with Iran 😂😂😂
no confidence in Grossi's assessment of Iran's military nuclear plans. Him having questions is not enough
Thank you for this interesting interview.
As with any diplomat's statement, it can be interpreted. "We have no intention to build nuclear weapons" is the face-value statement and may, or may not, be true. However, if one were to have a stockpile of nuclear weapons components, one might easily assemble the weapons in a hurry. Every nation that has innovative weapons systems has fibbed a bit.
@7:55 we hope they dont attack, yet we still supply weapons
You can not change the way dictators want things to be done unless there's a forceful means that overwhelms them to helplessness. Museveni in Uganda also has been developing nuclear weapons secretly with NK
Israel has threatened to drop nuclear weapons so maybe we should be talking about that.
Why doesn't everyone cooperate
8:35-8:45 did he said drop nuclear as in Gaza at the start of the conflict?
In other words he's saying "chill it fellas" 😂
I hope you will go and visit Israel's nuclear site as well to see and tell us their nuclear statues otherwise you are just pulling Iran down for nothing

Why would Iran care about others when its neighbour threatens it? Nobody is the boss here, and everyone should mind their own.
yes, they should send us money too
Why should we trust Rupert Murdoch media?
Well,Iran doesnt need its own nuclear weapons. The Russians and the Chinese got that covered.
It would be nice if we had a treaty that ensured that in echange of diplomatically reducing tensions and creating economic ties that would result in a slow but stead y deradicalization of their isolationist status quo. That would be a great idea. Someone should do that, let's just hope that there's no oranges of the real estate conman variety to sabotage that effort, IT WOULD REALLY BE A SHAME IF THAT HAPPENED
international law allows all countries to possess necessary weapons for self defence whether small or big
Saying something without knowing is mining less
Why do several countries have to get nuclear weapons? Is there any reasonable logic to this? Any countries have the right to have nuclear weapons for their defense.
If i remember the former Iranian foreign ministry's interview on cnn when a deal happened, he meant to the journalist that moment, like you can verify our nuclear program as many times as you like and we will cooperate 100 percent every time, we have nothing to hide, and we want to be transparent. Yet Trump cancelled the deal to come to this present situation. Once Russia wanted to join NATO, the us said, no,we would like you to be a villain. The cold war ideology is a great threat for climate change you know, but us will never understand. Their autocratic structure won't understand.

So long as Israel has nuclear weapons, other countries in the region see that as a threat; It gives Israel “carte blanche” to pursue aggressive posturing in the region without the threat of any serious retaliation. It’s no wonder other regional players aspire to acquire nuclear weapons!
I think it’s the IAEA that should be more clear because Iran held up its part of the bargain and the USEA with the USA broke the deal
Shame on IAEA
They kept speaking English like this when North Korea got the bad bomb....
You need access to the Iranian nuclear program, but you can't ensure that Iran will get sanction-free. 2015 nuclear deal ensured that Iran would cooperate and WEST would not impose sanctions on Iran, but the US, due to the Israeli lobby, got out of the deal. Why does Iran cooperate?

Everyone has the right to make its own nuclear or any other kind of weapons that is the international law and agreement. Now the problem is that some powerful nations have their own policies that simply goes around those laws and agreements and want to pressure others not to produce any of those weapons. One of this agreement said that nuclear weapons can not be produced by those nations that don’t have it already but what is basically mean is that they can produce as many parts of them as they want and in case that they need it can be put together in matters of hours and that is what other nations actually are doing.
