Are they banned for a certain reason, ir are they just not allowed to use them as anti-personnel incendiaries?
Because white phosphorus is used wuite often in smoke grenades, as some of the articles depict.
"WP (White Phosphorus) is also a highly efficient smoke producing agent, burning quickly and causing an instant bank of smoke. As a result, smoke producing WP munitions are very common, particularly as smoke grenades for infantry, loaded in defensive grenade dischargers on tanks and other armored vehicles, or as part of the ammunition allotment for artillery or mortars. These create smokescreens to mask movement from the enemy, or to mask his fire."

From BBC:
"Phosphorus shells are legal to use as a battlefield obscurant, but are banned from use where civilians may be harmed."

you forgot to mention that Iran had many border skirmishes with Iraq before the war ever started, not to mention that the Revolution was attempting to unsettle the Shia in Iraq into starting a civil war
Sorry to burst the bubble on your fascination with a bunch of fanatics...why not move there, Andrew, if its such a great place. Ask Hoori about Iran
Nah man, I'm an American who likes Juve and the Gunners, your 2 fav teams as well. We havent used or threatened anyone with our missiles, btw
unless their attacked first, they wont use them (you really think they would attack any neighboring counties ?? They would be signing their death warrants as well by nuclear fallout
well said, Kyle
Iran is a bunch of religious fanatics who would relish the chance of killing all infidels
completely disagree

An arab discussing Israel is going to call a neutral party biased?
I already said last page that Israel shouldn't have nuclear weapons either but its already to late for that anyway. The fact that the Israeli's have nukes is not at all a good reason to let the Iranians have them.
No country ruled by a religious dictatorship should have such weapons, whether they be Christians, Jews, or Muslims.
No I don't agree at all.
There is absolutely no way you can claim to know the reason the Iranian government is developing nuclear weapons, I don't claim to and that is what is frightening about it.
I am completely against Israel having nuclear weapons as well but of course I'm happy my own country has them if other countries do. The US is not going to be nuking anybody anytime soon because many people here view the use of nuclear weapons on Japan as absolutely shameful. Even though the use in WWII saved millions of lives that would have been lost on both sides had the United States instead done a land invasion of Japan. The projected loss of life would have been over 5 million who once again mostly would have been Japanese soldiers or citizens.
As I said before, I don't think the Iranian government is going to attack anybody, but their development of nuclear arms could spark a war with Israel which my country will somehow drag itself into. I would like to avoid this at all costs.
I completely disagree with this bit, who does the US need to Nuke?
I really think you are way more paranoid about the US using nuclear weapons than you should be. Jessica Alba will show up naked at my doorstep before the US nukes anybody again.
Go have sex with men.

Okay, so does that mean we should bomb them because it isn't a "great place"?
Hoori would probably say the government and leadership is horrendous, but the country itself is beautiful.
And if you want me to go to Iran, I think you should go live in Israel if you're so worried about their well-being. Anybody who cares more about Israel than the US, and subsequently doesn't understand the ramifications of supporting Israeli actions, are traitors to my country, IMO.

Why would they be signing their death warrant if they did in fact begin a nuclear attack on their neighbors? its not like any Arab country has the military power to either absorb nor respond to any sort of Biological/Nuclear war. And I can see the world community condemning such a disaster but nothing else. They won't respond with the same shit for their beloved "only democratic" country in the Middle East
And yea, all religious people would start a nuclear holocaust when given the opportunity, if it wasn't for the reasonable atheists we wouldn't have got past the 20th century
And you can come up with the reason why any country for that matter deployed/is deploying Nuclear weapons?
Now you could have said that yesterday, the fact that you don't want Iran to have Nuclear weapons because you know that israel wont accept it thus making their move and costing a new war in the middle east, is understandable yet asking Iran to back down from their Nuclear project for that reason is ridiculous to say the least.
And Calm the fuck down, Kyle.

You always seem to care about Israel's well-being more than our own. You side with them in every single topic that comes up here, even if it is detrimental to our own nation. For instance, you love giving aid to Israel to fight those "terrorists", but you say nothing about the fact they sold our weapons to China, our economic enemy.
Not to mention the fact that these foreign escapades of bombing nations, having our troops die, and encouraging Islamic fundamentalism (we fund the terrorist group Jundallah in Iran who have ties to Al Qaeda) is anything but patriotism.

I'd like to add that the Israelis are the original terrorists and that's a fact. Supporting them against terrorists is like merging the NAACP and KKK
