There's more truth to this than there was to the wmds thing, we know Iran has enriched uranium up to 65% which is way more than you need for nuclesr power and only a bit short of the threshold for bombs.
But it's also entirely Trump and Israels fault in the first place, Iran were complying with Obamas nuclear deal then Israel convinced Trump to stop honouring it so Iran rightly did the same. It's a problem they created in order to have an excuse to attack Iran.
I wouldn’t believe anything Israel is saying about this.
Israel is full of shit, Netanyahu has been saying Iran is weeks away from a nuclear bomb for literally 30 years.
That figure is from the IAEA, not Israel. Also it's actually 60% and I misremembered.
I don’t want anyone to have nuclear weapons but I can see why it’s in Iran’s best interest to acquire them.
United States and Israel are literally arguing that by assassinating scientists and Iranian leaders, that Iran will be more likely to come to the negotiating table.
Maybe that’s why Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, so Israel would be more likely to negotiate?
Yeah I'm not defending israels illegal actions, just sayings it's at least based on something real unlike the fake wmds
Israel is the one who gave us the false intelligence about Iraq having wmds. I imagine this is a repeat of that. But we do know that Iran uses uranium for electricity.
