Simple Question, One Word Answer

[bazwillrun]

is this current attempt at a nuclear agreement just all smoke and mirrors and theyre just buying time to get nuclear weapons.

do you trust Iran,....YES or NO


NO

[modeller]

No ! They are only negotiating now because they knew the bottom line was neither the US nor Israel would allow them to get a nuke.
The same thing happened in Syria about 5 years ago Israel destroyed their Nuke facility. H

[sandyRoe]

Yes. Mutually Assured Destruction, MAD for short, kept the peace all through the Cold War. It would in the Middle East, too

[Brenden]

No

[jake-the-peg]

Trust them as to what?

Trust them not to develop a nuclear capability as the US, the UK, France, Israel, and India all have

No I think they're doing that

Trust them not to fly half way aroundthe world and invade another country like we and the US have - Yep I think e can trust them not to do that.



You need to look at things from their perspective. Western countries have had a habit of enforcing their will in the middle East backed up by military force - the one thing that keeps them out is the threat of a nuclear response - see Korea

If I were running Iran - I'd be refining Uranium too!

Surely a better answer would be "not sure"? If there's any chance that the current leaders are being genuine in their desire to negotiate it seems worth taking it. Otherwise we just maintain the tension which doesn't really suit anyone. But it seems quite a big change in intent from Iran so equally we shouldn't just say "oh all right then" and start trusting them unconditionally either.

No.

[jake-the-peg]

Mind you 'trust' in the context of international relations is an interesting idea

Do you trust our allies not to bug our phones? for example

[maggiebee]

NO

Most on here will want to explain their answer bazwillrun despite your emphasis on a one word answer!

[naomi24]

I'm happy to give a one word answer. No.

[jim360]

Some questions don't have a one-word answer baz.

[Old_Geezer]

No.

I'd have thought a hot country would have no need of nuclear power. They should invest in solar.

[jomifl]

NO

[ludwig]

I don't trust our own government, why on earth should I trust Iran's?

[viv38]

NO, NO .....
