He says that if Israel or America attack Iran than nuclear war COULD break out, please be aware that many countries no realise, from the Hiroshima attack, that nuclear weapons must never be used again because of the devastation they create. In fact many countries are now reducing their nuclear stockpile and are securing loose materials so that terrorists find it harder to get their hands on one, which if happened would threaten the world. Earlier this year Obama said that the US would only authorise a nuclear attack or the use of a nuclear weapon in EXTREME circumstances, this implies that they will only use them if America's continuity is threatened and the survival of their citizens threatened.



IF America engaged Iran it would not be with a nuclear weapon, as long as they do it before Iran have the materials needed to successfully create and launch such a weapon, if Iran get to that point then the world faces a huge crisis, Iran would not hesitate to use them to lure the world into a war but that must never be allowed to happen. IF America and/or Israel want to stop Iran, which they clearly do, from obtaining a nuclear weapon then they must act imminently because the longer they wait the higher the risk.

Is this the same Fidel Castro who had a bunch of nuclear missile launch sites in Cuba in 1962?



No, I don't think he's right.

That is NOT what Castro said at all in this story. Here is an excerpt from the story you linked to.



Castro said that Iran could further the cause of peace by "acknowledging the 'unique' history of anti-Semitism and trying to understand why Israelis fear for their existence." . . . . . "This problem is not going to get resolved, because the Iranians are not going to back down in the face of threats," Castro told Goldberg.

To have a nuclear both parties need nuclear weapons. Iran do not have any ..Even a conventional war is most unlikely while Obama is present.

Nope. US has no need to use nuclear weaponry, Iran has no nuclear weaponry to use.

If it happens -- and I don't believe it will -- Cuba could get caught in the crossfire!
