    1. We trusting Epstein regime media now?
    2. You know who else funds Hamas? Israel.
    3. Technically correct, but my understanding is that the multiple warhead missiles Iran used have larger warheads with a lower failure rate, and so aren’t the type of cluster weapons that leave behind unexploded bombs.
    4. Iran had a ban on making nukes. Do you really think Iran couldn’t do something North Korea and Israel did decades ago if they wanted to?

      1. Sorry, a bit out of the loop, what Epstein regime media?
      2. Yes, the current Israeli government is very much anti Israeli civilians (much like the current US government is anti US civilians, cough-ICE-cough).
      3. Aljazeera stated Iran’s cluster warheads “disperse munitions over a wide area and are particularly dangerous for civilians”. It fits with other sources I read and have no reason to doubt that.
      4. To answer your question - yes.

        1. See which country that source is from.
        2. Fair.
        3. Cluster weapons are dangerous because they disperse a large number of very small warheads, many of which do not explode immediately and can be triggered by civilians, particularly children, finding them and picking them up. The Iranian missiles have fewer, larger warheads, so most of them do explode immediately.
        4. Why?

          1. I gave multiple links to a few sources. Could you narrow it down, or just say what you’re referring to plainly?

          2. Al Jazeera stated the specific cluster munition used by Iran is more dangerous to civilians. They might have not done their homework, but unless you’ll at least explain what you’re basing your claim on, I don’t think I can address the claim.

          3. Many reasons, to name a few: There’s better sigint to identify such activities, Israel was/is backed by the US and NK was/is backed by China. But this line of talk kinda shifts the burden on proof on me. You asked me a question, I answered it. If you’d like to claim that Iran is in the same position to build a nuke as Israel and NK were in the past, you should do so.
