Iran Bombing Effects
If Israel attacks Iran, the repercussions of carrying out such an immense deed will not only affect Israel but will definitely affect the United States and maybe even the world. Even if Iran gets bombed, it does not stop their ability to make bombs and Iran will be even more inclined to use them. An attack from Israel or the United States on Iran will surely have three dire consequences: it will not stop Iran’s nuclear program, it will cause Iran to rally against the United States, and it will affect North America’s life overseas. These three points will be discussed further in the following paragraphs. There are dozens of nuclear facilities scattered in population centres around Iran; therefore, bombing these facilities would kill large numbers of Iranian civilians. This may be hard to believe but “the Iranian people are more pro-American than any population outside Israel.” A good example of this is the fact that they held candle-light vigils for America in the streets of Tehran after 9/11; however, bombing Iran would change all that. A pro-American population would rally around the flag against a foreign enemy (United States and Israel). It is hard to imagine a better way to play into the hands of the hardliners in Iran. …show more content…
It is safe to say that most or all of these groups would retaliate against the United States if it were to help Israel bomb Iran especially if these groups found that Iran was attacked without just cause. Bombing Iran would unleash chaos through the region, putting troops’ lives at risk, and undermine the war on terror. Our troops’ lives would be put at risk by any rash decision to bomb Iran. We cannot stop Iran from continuing on with their nuclear program

    Unilateral military force by the United States is not justified to prevent unclear proliferation.

    If we allow military forces to go into a country and attack, then we are giving that country a reason to come after the United States. As a result, that country will be more determined to make nuclear weapons and our plan would have backfired. We look to history to for support here: In 1981 Israel launched an attack against Iraq. Iraq responded by developing a nuclear reactor complex. Saddam Hussein then demanded nuclear deterrence and was the actual trigger for Iraq launching a full-scale effort to weaponize. A decade later, by the time of the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq was on the verge of a nuclear weapons capability.…

    Pf con case

    Subpoint A – Nuclear proliferation is an action fueled by fear and if there is increase in military force interference, that fear will be legitimized. According to the article “Why Countries Build Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century” by Zachary Keck, “Iran’s nuclear program is better explained, then, by the rise in the potential conventional threat the U.S. poses to the Iran.” As many countries are, Iran was obviously intimidated by the massive military force of the U.S. and made the decision to begin proliferating nuclear weapons. And if the U.S. uses military force as an act to prevent nuclear proliferation, that goal may not be fulfilled.…

    Petition to the President

    The first supporting quote by Szialrd is, “We feel, however, that such an attack on Japan could not be justified in the present circumstances. We believe that the United States ought not to resort to the use of atomic bombs in the present phase of the war, at least not unless the terms which will be imposed upon Japan after the war are publicly announced and subsequently Japan is given an opportunity to surrender” (Szilard, 1945). Szilard believes that it is too early in the war to resort to atomic weaponry. He feels that the use of atomic bombs to end the war will be catastrophic because he feels that the United States have not exhausted all of their options. This will not be the actions of a world leader to bomb Japan before giving them the option to surrender first. In war time there are many alternative methods other than the use of atomic power to destroy cities. Methods like negotiation, coming to an agreement , or peace treaties can be used to prevent enormous numbers of casualties.…

    Steve Sheinkin Nuclear Weapons

    For the most part, I generally don’t consider the presence of nuclear weapons in the world, but if a real tragic life event occurs by using an atomic bomb, I find it to be very important and dangerous. As for the book, “Bomb” by Steve Sheinkin, the author describes an atomic bomb to be the “most powerful bomb ever built” (Sheinkin 15). The Americans go through great lengths to achieve all the necessary ingredients to build an atomic bomb, such as finding “Germany’s entire supply of uranium” and sending this main ingredient to the United States. With this in mind, if the United States were able to go to great lengths for a bomb, what wouldn’t make other countries do the same? As for this, many people should be cautious if two countries start…

    Collaboration: Atomic Bombs

    In the event that these nations debilitate to utilize these bombs, which we know will be totally destroying to our country, I feel the best way to react is with a similar message, and we should be prepared for them. The United States needs to figure out how to incapacitate alternate nations totally with the goal that we may devastate the atomic weapons, yet we realize that is a substantial errand that would be hard to…

    The Benefits Of Dropping The Atomic Bomb

    Dropping the Atomic Bomb is not necessary for many reasons such as the following. The Ground and Naval wars are progressing strongly and also Japan is already on defense. The ground war is doing very well and has worked for us so far so why not continue. Some may say that the mountainous region of Japan could lead to the death of many American soldiers but the Japanese soldiers would have many fatalities so it would even out instead of just killing many innocent Japanese. The Naval war was making progress by taking over Japanese islands in the pacific. This way the US would be better off not dropping the atomic bombs.…

    The events that took place on Tuesday September 11, 2001

    Already Americans want to see their nation demolish Afghanistan. So why not nuke them, you say? That would bring the United States no good. Afghanistan is a poor nation which lacks any real targets. To destroy their nation would be to destroy the little they have. This would set them back even further than they already are. There are merely individuals, namely Osama bin Ladin, who are being targeted by the United States. Bombing part of Afghanistan, would not do anything against these individual men. Also, simply bombing the enemy would cause more nations to rally against the United States. Many nations already despise the US as it is. You saw them dancing in the streets in celebration on the eleventh. Another nuking would cause them to think even less of the big bad United States. This would also enflame the Arab world and cause them to consider this whole ordeal as a holy crusade. The number of our enemies could greatly increase. We do not want war.…

    Kim Jong UN

    Kim Jong UN could possibly start a terrible nuclear war. This would start if he were to launch an attack on Washington DC. This would then force the United States to launch a counter strike which would be of greater magnitude and probably destroy every last remnants of North Korea, ridding the world of one pathetic and dangerous country. However, all of the world would be recovering from this disaster, Iran will eventually finish its nuclear weapons program. They would then use their first bomb on the United States to show their revenge for their helper, North Korea. The United States would have been much damaged and would have to rely on other countries to launch a counter strike. So then one of the countries part of the United Nations would Nuke Iran and damage that country. In the end, Kim Jong UN would be long dead, but he would have started a tragedy, so far in depth, that would take lifetimes to rebuild.…

    Nuclear Terrorism Argumentative Analysis

    The possibility of a nuclear terrorist attack is very real but how realistic is the threat. The number of terrorist attacks has dramatically increased since the Cold War and is not only continually increasing the number of attacks but intensifying each attack. Since the September 11th attacks, numerous movies have been produced bringing the idea of a nuclear terrorist attack to life for several hundreds of Americans. The question that these movies are over exaggerated and unrealistic or that they are shining a light to the possible future of the world is to be determined. Brian Michael Jenkins and Graham Allison explore each sides of the debate on whether or not the world is headed to a nuclear attack that resembles the September 11th attacks.…

    Negative Effects Of The Atomic Bomb On Hiroshima

    The atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb that was used in the World War 2 and had a positive impact on both sides of the war. The U.S would save more soldier lives if they used the bomb, but if they were to invade Japan they would lose a huge amount of soldiers.The U.S warned Japan to surrender to help the lives of the Japanese people because the atomic bomb would abolish many lives that were in the city of Hiroshima. This shows the positive impact the atomic bomb had for the U.S and Japan. As a result, the bomb would be saving more American soldiers because it was estimated that if the U.S. were to physically invade Japan they would lose about half a million soldiers. President Truman decided to use the atomic bomb against Hiroshima because it would…
