How about my question concerning imminency?

The IAEA also said there was no evidence Iran had a nuclear weapons program... "immanence" remains subjective; because even if that was 100% true one day, it wouldn't necessarily be true the next. It's like saying I don't have any weapons, my machete is for cutting down brush in the woods, I promise not to sharpen it into a murder weapon.

I gave a very specific circumstance. Does that particular circumstance qualify as imminent to you?
 
According to recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports and statements from Iranian officials in March 2026, Iran has admitted to possessing approximately 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% purity.

This specific figure was confirmed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during a mid-March interview on Face the Nation.

The whole story...

On March 15, 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Margaret Brennan of CBS Face the Nation, “I offered actually that we are ready to dilute those enriched material, or down-blend them, as they say, into lower percentage. So that was a, you know, a big offer, a big concession…”

I would say this war of choice will give Iran more impetus to develop the nuclear weapon not less.
When DJT tore up the deal they knew what was coming and it was certainly confirmed by attacks on Lebanon, Libya and Syria.

What do you call it, when a man puts a poisen apple in he's pocket. After he dies that killer eats the poisen apple?
a poison pill -- a tactic used by a company threatened with an unwelcome takeover bid to make itself unattractive to the bidder.

For example exhorbitant severance packages for executives in the event of a hostile takeover.
 

Good enough IMO. Time for a ceasefire.

There has been no direct contact between the U.S. and Iran in recent days, though Egypt, Qatar and the U.K. have all passed messages between two countries, with Egypt and Qatar informing the U.S. and Israel that there is interest to negotiate from Iran.

“Our view is we've stunted Iran's growth,” said one U.S. official who believes the Iranians will come to the table. The official said the U.S. wants Iran to make six commitments:

1. No missile program for five years.
2. Zero uranium enrichment.
3. Decommissioning of the reactors at the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities that the U.S. and Israel bombed last year.
4. Strict outside observation protocols around the creation and use of centrifuges and related machinery that could advance a nuclear weapons program.
5. Arms control treaties with regional countries that include a missile cap no higher than 1,000.
6. No financing for proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen or Hamas in Gaza.
 
Depth Gains from Quadruple (or More) Taps

A single GBU-57 penetrates roughly:200 feet (60 meters) through earth/soil or softer overburden.
60 feet (18 meters) of 5,000 psi reinforced concrete (common benchmark; less in harder 10,000+ psi variants used in Iranian sites).
Up to ~60 meters combined earth + concrete under ideal conditions.

With sequential drops:
Effective cumulative depth increases significantly—potentially 2–4× or more depending on geology, bomb timing, and crater stability.
Some analyses suggest 3–4 sequential MOPs could reach ~180 meters (591 feet) cumulatively in certain conditions, though real-world results vary (debris fallback can limit gains after a point).
In practice, even 2–6 bombs per entry point (as seen in Fordow's 12-bomb use across shafts) can collapse tunnels, rupture cascades, or deliver devastating overpressure/blast far beyond single-bomb capability—without needing full direct penetration to every centrifuge.

Why Quadruple Could Be "The Way to Go"Against deepest sites — Fordow/Natanz deeper halls often exceed single-MOP limits; multiple taps (4+) maximize chance of structural failure via cumulative shock, spallation (interior wall flaking), and cascade destruction from vibrations alone.
Centrifuge fragility — As you noted earlier, even non-penetrating near-misses transmit earthquake-like ground shock → rotors at 50k–100k RPM shatter easily.

Real precedent — The 2025 strikes used far more than double taps (up to 6+ per shaft at Fordow), showing planners favor overwhelming sequential volume for assurance.

I think we had a discussion about immanence before where you asked me if I believed the kingdom was immanent; and I gave a "yes and no" answer. In terms of time, I have no idea about specific time frames of things happening; but in terms of space yes, it is immanent, it is near and could happen very quickly. So, my answer with respect to Iran is very similar. In terms of time, we probably had some more time, and maybe they would never make the weapons at all; but I would say their capability of becoming an immanent threat was immanent, if that make sense?

But what did they ask in return for that? And should we really give them anything for that? I'm not sure what the answers are to those questions... "pay me not to make weapons of mass destruction" is kind of a raw deal that probably nobody wants to be a part of if they don't have to be.

How much did they spend on efforts to enrich uranium while their country's water supply was being depleted, etc. ? Should they be rewarded for that? probably not, right?
I would say this war of choice will give Iran more impetus to develop the nuclear weapon not less.
Impetus isn't going to get them there when they don't have the enrichment facilities, etc. They're going to have other things to worry about- and that's even if there's not a revolution anyway.

Immanence is something else. Immanence is a theological topic, basically God's ability to interact within the Creation. Imminence is an impending certain thing to happen and swiftly too which I think you mean in your argument here (which is a good argument btw you're not wrong).

Though interestingly this topic displays both in the Iran Revolution. The imminent doom of Satan's children that we witnessed after they heinously massacred 30,000 Millennials and Gen Z and tried to lie about and dismiss it (and they still do to this day) is the primary reason for the strike. Secondarily to this is then disabling their James Bond villain programs. The way God swiftly answered the prayers of his true faithful Christians and how swiftly the cult in Iran whom prays to Mahdi and not to God was destroyed, how swiftly now we're almost done with phase 2 wrapping up their hardware and hardcore science programs, is a powerful proof of God and his immanence as well. Hence all the glory does belong to him, praise Jesus.

It's not really dead, it's just turning in to a tabloid publication and is no longer a news outlet.

They're all about making more clicks so they can earn through advertising and that's about all they do now.






Is the devil your pastor's "god"?

Jesus said the devil comes to steal, kill, and to destroy

The Lord is not our murdering people. He takes out His enemies, but that's self defense not murder.

He is trying to get people to get saved so the Lord is not the One whackin people sending them to hell early.





Which can easily be hacked, blocked, and disrupted.
Everything can be hacked. It is what it is. So whatever your platform is you have to create an enigma.
 
It says there is a partial blindness until the fullness of the gentiles has entered the temple. Then the mystery of God is complete, the 7th trumpet blows and the lord returns



“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
