The one question on Iran no leftist can answer. Why 60%

[T. A. Gardner]

Frantically Googling for three minutes does not make you an expert on medical isotope production.

More importantly, you are continually backtracking and failing to provide proof of why Iran was an imminent threat to the United States. You already tried this bullshit 22 years ago concerning Iraq.

You keep making this same vapid argument. First, Iran has an embargo on trade. That means even if they were making it for medical purposes, they have little to no use for it internally and no means to trade it legally externally. So, the whole "medical isotope" line of argument is simply a smoke screen, a lie, to legitimize otherwise illegal uranium enrichment for weapons manufacture.

As for Iran being an "imminent threat to the United States," it isn't. But it is an imminent threat to allies of the United States and global economics and trade. Therefore, much like the Barbary pirates were over 200 years ago, they are an adversary of the US to be dealt with for the good of the nation and international relations.

They don't possess the necessary equipment to need Mo 99 or Tc 99. Therefore, that isn't a valid reason to be highly enriching uranium for them. Further, they aren't selling that highly enriched uranium on the world market to anyone else that might actually need Mo 99 / Tc 99


Your claim is poorly worded and incorrect. The claim is that 60% enriched uranium has no civilian use in Iran. Further, 60% enriched uranium can easily be further enriched into highly weaponizable uranium. Therefore, the argument is that Iran is enriching uranium for use in nuclear weapons since they internally as a nation have no other use for it.


Therefore, you might want to more closely examine the argument being made and apply reason to it rather than subtly changing that argument to fit a preconceived set of outcomes you favor.


No, it is your burden of proof that must be higher. Explain by showing that Iran is using, currently, highly enriched uranium for some non-weapon purpose. That is, demonstrate they have a use for it and are actually using it for that purpose. That means saying that there is a medical application for it without showing that they have the necessary medical devices and trained personnel IN USE you have no argument in that particular application.

I already showed, including a world map, that Iran does not posses any SPECT scanners, the most common use in medicine for Mo 99 / Tc 99.

They don't need 60% U 235 to make Mo 99 they can make it with 20% U 235.

My Googling habits do not change the fact that industry is shifting to the use of 20% U 235 to make Mo 99. Your clinging to "Iran needs over 400KG of 60% because of a huge medical need" is laughably absurd.

Iran is responsible for killing over 600 of our service men or women. But that makes no difference for a closet Islamic like you.

You lied to people like me about Iraq, there's no reason to trust you now.
