Why are we considering invading Iran when they don't have a nuclear weapon?

Question

And even if they did, and they fired it the deterant is that the US or Israel would fire one back and destroy Iran

Does nobody remember Iraq where we found nothing?

We are invading other countries

Answer 1

They openly admit to developing nuclear weapons and they have openly threatened their neighbors with extinction. They already have the missile capability to hit US bases and Israel and they are close to obtaining the nuclear material. What else to do need to take the open threats serious?

Answer 2

Same reason we invaded Iraq...Iraq didn't have them either but that didn't stop the little dictator from invading.

Wake up !! It's about oil !!! It's not about weapons.Whoever controls the oil controls the world.Iraq is the 4th largest oil producing country.

Answer 3

1st of all, if we wait until they finish putting it together it will be a lot harder.

2nd, just last weekend they shipped several tons of yellow cake out of Iraq and into Canada. They didn't want to leave it there in the middle east. Yellow cake is used to enrich uranium and is used in WMD's so to correct you we didn't find nothing. We did find them much less sophisticated and advanced in creating weapons, but what they did have has been greatly under reported.

Answer 4

Oil bourse is going to the euro. Saddam did the same thing and we overthrew him on false pretenses.

The yellowcake was all stuff that the UN inspectors knew about and had sealed. so you cant use that for a claim they had wmds.
