This is quite simple, when other countries pressured by the US stop harrassing IRAN.
Isn't it ironic, that the one and only country to use the A-bomb and killing 400 000 - 500 000 innocent people (no they were not soldiers), is "frightened" that other countries would develop the same technology 60 years later?
The Japanese government may have deserved an A-bomb on their heads at the end of WWII because they were the last one standing of the Axis of Evil and because they treated POW so harshly. But those innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had nothing to do with the war. They were ... innocent. Trying to destroy the Japanese civilian population, sounds like Genocide to me.
Especially the SECOND bomb 3 days after the Hiroshima one, was of no use. There is no reason for killing another 250 000 people in Nagasaki, Japan was still in chaos from the first one and would have surrendered.
This sums it up:
"The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, as well as the effects and justification of them, have been subject to much debate. In the U.S., the prevailing view is that the bombings ended the war months sooner than would otherwise have been the case, saving many lives that would have been lost on both sides if the planned invasion of Japan had taken place. In much of the rest of the world, the prevailing view is that the bombings were unnecessary, and that knowingly inflicting harm of this magnitude on civilians was inherently immoral."
