Should the U.S preemptively strike Iran before the Middle East country builds the bomb? Or are diplomatic talks and more sanctions the answer? Join the liveblog debate now to tell us what you think.
If there’s any foreign affairs issue on the minds of almost government leader, it’s Iranian nuclear ambitions. Iran has admitted it is involved in a nuclear programme but it’s not to build a bomb but to supply its citizen with nuclear energy. The U.S. isn’t buying it, and President Obama accused Iran of building a secret second uranium enrichment plant.
On Oct. 25, the International Atomic Energy Agency will inspect the enrichment sites to determine if Iran has been kosher about its nuclear programme.
This month’s liveblog debate hosted by DigitalJournal.com will look at whether the U.S. should attack Iran sooner rather than later. We want to know what you think about this pressing issue. You can log in to the liveblog software below easily — just pick a username and start commenting right away.
Digital Journal staff members will be joined by a special guest who will add his insight into the debate: Pepe Escobar, a well-travelled journalist, writes for Asia Times Online and has published the recently released Obama Does Globalistan.
We are honoured to have Escobar join the liveblog debate, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for anyone to ask him burning questions about Iran, the pressure American has been applying on the region and the potential for nuclear arms proliferating across the world.
