Gefühlt dreht sich die Diskussion hier seit Stunden im Kreis ohne wirklich zu sagen, was an iranischen Atomwaffen jetzt so schlimm sein soll. Andere Länder haben sie ja auch.
Aus einem opinion piece von Aimen Dean von vor ein paar Tagen (vor dem Militärschlag):
Let’s be clear: implosion tests are not for civilian purposes. These are military preparations. The idea that the world should accept Iran as a de facto nuclear state – just as it has with North Korea, India, or Pakistan – is dangerously flawed.
Why? Because Iran is not a conventional state actor. Unlike the others, the Islamic Republic has spent decades arming non-state actors (Houthis, Hezbollah, militias in Iraq and Syria) with sovereign weapons systems such as medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs). These are weapons that even Turkey, a NATO member with the second-largest army in the alliance, does not possess.
Iran has exported MRBMs with ranges of 2,200–2,500 km to its proxies in Yemen. These missiles have been used not just against one target, but against three sovereign states: Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the UAE. This reckless transfer of strategic weaponry to terrorist actors demonstrates that the regime in Tehran cannot be trusted with nuclear arms. They could transfer such weapons to third party non-state actors for deniability!
Let me be blunt: granting nuclear weapons to such a regime is the height of international irresponsibility. The consequences will not be limited to regional instability, they will define a new era of proxy nuclear terror.
Man muss die Besorgnis jetzt nicht teilen oder wer Schuld am Scheitern des Atomdeals ist. Aber da geht es den Beteiligten im Kern rum. Man hat Angst, dass die Waffensysteme in die Hände von non state actors fallen.
