You asked me if it was a good thing that Israel was attacking Iran's nuclear capability, I said it wasn't if it moved Iran to be even more inclined to do so. Since we can all agree that the attack by Israel will prob move Iran to be more inclined to do so than before the attacks I think it was a bad Idea. If you wanted to ask me if continued attacks on Iran will make them even more inclined to become nuclear capable then once again I think it would. If you wanted to ask me if future attacks on Iran will make them even more inclined to become nuclear capable then once again I think it would. No, it is not a good thing. Iran has proven that they will make an agreement to not produce nuclear weapons as they have done so before. Any current or future attacks will not push them to make that agreement it will push them in the opposite direction. Does that explain it to you clearly?
