Anything that is based on radio is not resistant to jamming.

It's kind of interesting that the military can turn of GPS but instead have relied on jamming.

Nearby countries weren't supporting Iran.

Kyoto university rushed into stem cell research after it got banned in the US, thinking it would give them an advantage in research.

After two decades, it didn't come up with much, and research funding is drying up. This looks like an attempt to "save face" by at least getting one drug on the market, even if it doesn't end up with a Nobel as they had hoped, even if no one ever prescribes it.

Kyoto University is often called "the Harvard of Japan," and it matches since both of them are more interested in politics than in solving problems or knowledge.

That seems like an important question. It seems there are two parts, "was Iran complying with JCPOA?" and "was JCPOA sufficient to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons?" Wikipedia doesn't seem to clarify, although after reading through the Wikipedia article, I do have more respect for the JCPOA. It seems like they were basically complying, but did not release all information relating to prior nuclear programs. That seems like a minor issue though. It's very clear that Saudi Arabia has been pushing just as hard as Israel (if not harder than Israel) to attack Iran.

Going back to the question of whether they were trying to build nuclear weapons, it appears that until 2003 they were trying to build them. Iran has multiple power centers. It appears some of the power centers were trying to build nuclear weapons, and some weren't. In particular the IRGC really wanted to build them. Khamenei did not want to build them.

The compromise they ended up with was the IRGC built deep bunkers and infrastructure as if they were preparing for war, but did not actually use them to build the nuclear weapons they were intended for.

Yeah that video does a good job covering all the main viewpoints.

The main thing that should have been discussed more deeply is potential Chinese aggression, which is flashing bright red warning lights right now.

If I remember right, under Bush the argument went like this:

1) "Iraq is supporting terrorists!" Nobody believed it.
2) "Iraq is trying to build nuclear weapons!" Almost nobody believed it. There were some aluminum tubes transferred.
3) "Iraq is trying to get weapons of mass destruction!" Almost no one believed it.
4) "The president has secret information that he can't tell us!" 60% of the population (especially congress) believed it, because 9/11.

In the end it turned out that the Soviets prevented America from deposing Saddam during Desert Storm, so Jr decided to finish the job when the Soviets left.

I don't have to sell anything, it's not my goal.

If you believe that Iran was not actually trying to get nuclear weapons, then Trump picked a good objective. Easy to achieve an objective that's already been accomplished.

Ok, I accept your point, that counts as a threat.

So your idea is that Iran wasn't trying to develop nuclear weapons? That it was all made up by Netenyahu?

I didn't say anything about nuclear threats. Learn to read.

As for the Iran war, it is concerning that a single country is willing to unilaterally attack others.

I didn't say Trump is sane. Trump is doing a good job impersonating an insane person. Poe's law applies to him.

The objectives seem clear.

The Earth is the torment nexus.

Yeah, should have chosen "Pinto."

The goal is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The secondary objective is to prevent them from rebuilding their rocket supply. The third objective is to remove their support for terrorist proxies around the region.

The bonus objective is regime change.

They've been image recognition for a while to find things in the vast amount of image data that comes in from satellites. When convenient, that can be called AI.
