I remember when Russia first started striking the Ukrainian Nuclear power plant in Zaporiszhzhia and was like “holy shit these people are insane!”. Fast forward to now… WTF are we doing?!!!

Lots of war crimes are tolerated if committed by the west

More like, if you cause people harm and then wait long enough, people will become too engrossed in whatever future to care for accountability. Just as people must accept reality, so too they will eventually have to move onto other concerns.

I'd guess that you could blowup the power lines leaving the plant to cut power without blowing up the whole plant. If they wanted to blow it up, it would already be gone.

Whenever I see "TRT World" I expect to see a bodybuilding website.

This should be common sense but trump is a brainless human

Who’s the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follow him? I heard that in some 70s film. Anyway. He’s the man in charge but he isn’t pulling the trigger. But it sounds like there are still quite a lot of complicit idiots to go around?

Well, whatever we attribute as common sense is about foundational as “common” language, spoken in the world.

>Bushehr, **built with Russian help, is Iran's only operational nuclear power reactor**, according to the IAEA. >*Russian state media reported that 198 workers* at the plant were evacuated just after the latest strike, with about *100 Russian staff remaining at the site.* Iran could just open the strait and stop attacking everyone else. Also, the article tried to bury the lede on the bigger story here.

The hypocrisy by the Russians in helping Iran kill Americans and then throwing a temper tantrum when Americans help the Ukrainians is amazing

Opening the strait will not stop the bombing. Us israel just want to bomb and assasinate without consequences.

Not supporting Iran in any way, but seeing how USrael are pretty much ignoring and even bragging about war crimes on a country they started a war with, what is Iran's incentive to deescalate when the enemy has greater force and shows no restraint? Blowing up a nuclear power plant is not proportional to closing the strait.

Why not? Iran is hanging on the leverage they have and US/Israel is hanging on theirs.

Sea-Table5009 Apr 6, 2026 +2
Leverage does not equal proportionality. I dont think you would agree to an Iran agent blowing up a nuclear power plant in the USA, or even attempting to. "They can, so they should" is not a healthy way to look at things.
2
ImAjustin Apr 6, 2026 +1
No but closing a major lifeline of global energy shipping is also pretty dramatic and in a war, you lean on to what pressure point you can.

Sea-Table5009 Apr 6, 2026
While I agree that USrael has their hands tied at the moment with Irans reaction to being bombed, all of this could have been avoided by having a plan instead of yoloing. I cannot blame a country for doing everything in their power to resist an attack from both the strongest power in the region and in the world. But I will blame the attackers for mindlessly starting something they cant finish. 30 years ago Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. The good guys dont stoop as low as the bad guys, maybe they never were the good guys.

Iran could easily do the same to Israel. I guess they don't need nuclear weapons after all.

Manathar45 Apr 6, 2026 +5
What makes you think they aren't trying to do that already?

Sea-Table5009 Apr 6, 2026 +1
Without evidence, you cannot make the case either way. So at the moment they arent unless proven otherwise.

Manathar45 Apr 6, 2026 +1
Fair enough.

Two reasons: 1- A nuclear option is always a last resort for all countries regardless of how it's being used. 2- We've already seen the accuracy, speed and maneuverability of Iranian missiles. They easily bypassed all Israeli and US air defense systems. If they wanted to hit that nuclear reactor anytime they would've done it a long time ago without any probability of the US and Israeli air defense systems intercepting their hypersonic missiles especially if they're fired in huge numbers and are filled with cluster munitions.

Manathar45 Apr 6, 2026 -2
I think you underestimate how well it is protected. First, it is probably underground, so cluster missiles wouldn't do anything. Secondly, it is probably much more protected than any other place in Israel.

“Probably” doing a lot of lifting here.

Manathar45 Apr 6, 2026
Considering Israel does not even admit they have nuclear weapons, we can only assume what is going on there. Also, saying that Iran hasn't targeted it is an assumption as well. They are not that accurate.

The burden of evidence falls on the accuser (you). Nobody can prove its not happening. You can only prove it is happening. And your "probably" just isnt.

Manathar45 Apr 6, 2026 +2
Fair enough. I should be providing the evidence and I'm not.

sportsDude Apr 6, 2026 +1
They COULD. But then why haven’t they?

Curious_Mind_1998 Apr 6, 2026
Because a nuclear option is always a last resort for nearly all countries (except Israel ofcourse which has the Samson option).

The Samson option is literally the last resort. Get your hatred in check.
