The claim is (as always), Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons.
The whole idea is that if Iran did get nuclear weapons, it would be too risky to attack them, and that they could use their immunity from being attacked to make the world a much worse place.
I don't know if we should believe the assessments of their capabilities. Israel has been saying they're days, weeks or months away from having a nuclear weapon for going on 30 years now. But, AFAIK, nobody has actually said that they currently do have WMD.
Claiming that BS for 30 years:

Am I seeing things right? Tabkie.tube being used as a source, in Lemmy.world, and with positive reception, and no negative comments?
facts are facts no matter who reports them.
And it felt good to post that here, plenty off great videos for them to discover.
Praxis
How have they been unable to make a nuclear weapon in that time, are they stupid?
Well, if they had been trying, they probably would have done it. So, the fact they haven't done it suggests...
According to the UN's IAEA, as well as the American intelligence community, they haven't tried building nukes since 2003.
They're not trying.
They are definitely not stupid and their population is far better educated than the US for instance.
Who can't even produce a hypersonic missile with all the billions they piss away on 'defense' LOL
Iran does have them, Russia has 4th gen, even China and India.
Who's stupid?
Does Iran have hypersonic missiles? I thought they were using ballistic missiles which is something else.
They have, haven't had time to follow the war but I think they said they were going to use a higher class of missile (after another wave of attacks from the entity).
I know they haven't used their top stuff yet. (what I know until 2 days ago).
Iran has said lots of things, what have they actually shown.
I bet you didn't see videos of the entity getting trashed.
They arrest people making videos and western media doesn't want to show the results of the Iron Sieve and crappy US AD.
And what Iran have shown is restraint despite many unprovoked attacks.
IDC if you believe it. Better for them if the genociders and US are delusional and have their mispaced superiority complex while both sucking ass at fighting.
Even the Houthi hit them from 1000's km and gets the US ships to fuck off.
I have seen clips of Israel being hit. As you are refusing to be specific and blaming this vague "western media" I will assume you are just a propaganda bot.
LOL IDC what you think or what the genocider bootlicking media wont report, these monsters are getting hit either way.
And every video I see of that warms my heart.
The sound of genociders shitting their pants is music to my ears.

Bye hasbara clown
This just shows an explosion, no details on what caused it. Presumably some kind of missile but that doesn't make it a hypersonic missile. Ballistic ones seem to be the common one that is launched. Of course there is shahed drones too.
But I would rather they hit Netanyahu, I don't much care what they use to do it.
I never claimed this was hypersonic just satisfying.
They don't need them (for now), they even refused Russian help as they are confident they can beat them alone.
They only accepted help from China that put a ship there. Now they can track F-35's and whatever is suposedly 'stealth'.
Also it helps their own missiles.
They are gradually going harder and say they are giving the colonisers a chance to leave.
