Be afraid, jackals

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive material found in rocks, soil, and water, which, when enriched, is used as a source of fuel for nuclear reactors.

It comes in the form of three natural isotopes (chemical elements that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei): uranium-234 (U-234), uranium-235 (U-235) and uranium-238 (U-238). U-235 is highly radioactive; the other isotopes are not.

According to the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), uranium enrichment is “the process through which the isotopic proportion of U-235 is increased from 0.72 percent to up to 94 percent”.

The IAEA says uranium is considered low-enriched if its isotopic proportion of U-235 remains below 20 percent. This is generally used in civilian, commercial reactors to generate power for homes and industries. It is considered highly enriched if its isotopic proportion is beyond 20 percent.

Enrichment needs to cross 90 percent for it to be considered weapons-grade.

Uranium also needs to be in the form of a gas to carry out the enrichment process, and most countries, including Iran, use the process of spinning uranium hexafluoride in order to enrich it. This involves feeding the gas into fast-spinning centrifuges. The lighter U-235 separates from the heavier U-238.

The useful enriched uranium-235 is then captured for nuclear fuel.

MV Ramana, professor in Disarmament, Global and Human Security at the University of British Columbia, told Al Jazeera that the current discussion about how long Iran should suspend enriching uranium is primarily a process of bargaining.

“Both the US and Iranian governments have staked a lot of political capital on Iran’s enrichment programme. The dispute in recent years and months has been that Trump wanted Iran to completely abandon the programme, and Iran refusing to ever do that,” he said.

Chris Featherstone, a political scientist at the University of York, said that for Trump, it’s all about being able to justify his claims that he is winning the war.

Why are the US, Iran arguing over duration of uranium enrichment ban?

The US reportedly wants Iran to stop enriching for 20 years. Iran has agreed to five years. Here's why that matters.

you still pretending to be posting from inside Iran?

If the worst occurs, we can promise not to proceed with our nuclear program (again), and carry on as before, until the time comes to strike.

In the meanwhile, the Americans will (as they have before) give us many millions of dollars in their relief and gratitude should that circumstance occur.

shit stains bragging about how they can stain shit

yes, you can continue to thumb your nose, and slowly become a historical afterthought. Iran is becoming a third world nation

 

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

Let us recall that less than 24 hours after threatening the end of Iranian civilization, war criminal Trump accepted a two-week ceasefire on the basis of the plan issued by the Islamic Republic.

The 10-point plan, which the desperate Trump described as a “workable basis on which to negotiate", outlines a range of conditions including charging ships for use of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of all sanctions on Iran.

But Israel objected, and immediately violated the ceasefire. Who is in control? It seems that it isn't Trump, who is nearing the end of his career in any case.

Trump's unpredictability has long been a major issue, which has left many wary of taking the president's utterances at face value. Is he ill?

be afraid....a crumbling nation is making threats

Country	Population (2026)	GDP per capita (nominal, 2026)
Iran	93.2M	$3,415
Turkey	87.9M	$19,018
Germany	83.6M	$65,303
Vietnam	102.2M	$5,115
Philippines	117.7M	$4,443
Nigeria	242.4M	$1,556
Ethiopia	138.9M	$1,081
DR Congo	116.5M	$1,122

 

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

If GDP per capita were proof of national 'crumbling,' then the people of Luxembourg ($145k+), Qatar, Norway, or Ireland would be inherently superior to Americans, Japanese, or South Koreans. That's absurd.

Per capita GDP is simply a snapshot of average economic output per person under current conditions, shaped by geography, resources (hello, oil and finance hubs), institutions, governance choices, population size, and external shocks like sanctions. It is not a cosmic scorecard of human worth, cultural depth, or civilizational merit.

Judging 90 million people by one economic statistic while ignoring literacy rates, scientific output, or resilience is lazy reductionism that mistakes a spreadsheet for wisdom.

it is proof that a once rich nation is one of the poorest.


pretty soon Sally Strothers will need to air programs to feed you losers

Ms. Struthers (note the correct spelling) is a noted humanitarian, but war criminal Trump's blockade would not allow any aid to Iran.

Iranian cultural traditions place less emphasis on material gratification, consumption, and individual wealth as core sources of meaning or happiness compared to mainstream American culture.

Per capita GDP is a narrow, imperfect snapshot of average economic output—it cannot, by itself, substantiate a claim that an entire country is "crumbling."

Yes, and I questioned the wisdom of being tasked with returning to it; yet the arrogance, ignorance and repugnant nature of the commenters here have made a valuable contribution to our national information services. Even Iranians who were ambivalent about our government are repulsed by the nature of the remarks made here. I should thank you for making such a contribution to our morale.

Lest you puff up your chest with pride at this revelation, know that we have thousands of men (and artificial intelligence web crawlers) harvesting many such useful inanities from all over the West's foolish Internet community.

derp derp

Iranians are not able to access the web shit stain. the blackout is 45 days long now

your lies are hysterical...but feel free to pass along how I think the citizens of Iran are pussies to be subservient to religious nutjobs

 

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

The Iranian nation is brave enough that when we possess nuclear bombs, we will announce it publicly without being afraid of you. Of course, by then it will be too late for you.

Your ignorance is abysmal.

We are at war. For many of our citizens, online access are privileges are limited to the National Information Network (also called the "national intranet"). That's where they see your remarks.

I have received a message recently from Ali Hakim-Javadi regarding the excellent propaganda value this "two bit website"ovides, out of all proportion to its global reach.

Why would a nation besieged by hostile aggressors open the international Internet within iis borders to the enemies and their minions?
