Iran's supreme leader: We do not seek atomic bombs

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons and that Iran doesnt believe in making nuclear bombs. There have been recent tensions between Iran and the West over the issue of Iran's supposed production of nuclear weapons. However, Iran has frequently insisted that their uranium is simply for civilian and medical use. A draft report from the IAEA has stated that Iran may be working on a nuclear warhead for a missile, and that Iran has been defying U.N. orders. Iran has begun to enrich Uranium enough to sustain a nuclear reaction, without proper IAEA inspection, and a secret nuclear facility has been discovered at the city of Qom. Also, Iran has been pushing for concessions from Western powers, which leads the West to believe that Iran has been developing nuclear weapons. If Iran continues to prod, they may be susceptible to an attack from the Jewish state of Israel. Iranian president Ahmadinejad recently said that enrichment would increase to 20 percent and that "big changes are underway.

Should the West give in to Iranian concessions? What do you think this would lead to?

  1. We should not give in to Iran. Last time I checked, "appeasement" was one of the reasons WW2 happened.

  2. We will not give into Iran because we are a land of laws and if those laws are not followed there will be a price to pay. I agree with Machu Picchu.
