      Israel would never invade Iran.

      1 they don’t have the manpower

      2 there’s hundreds of miles of 2 other countries in the way

    in 2017, then-President Donald Trump withdrew from the plan, saying it did not curtail Iran’s ballistic missile program or the influence of Iran’s powerful proxies in the region. Since the U.S. exit, Iran has steadily blown through the restrictions on its nuclear activities and blocked international inspectors from seeing some nuclear sites.

    Louder for the people in the back please.

    Why change the headline?

    Iran signals possible change in its nuclear doctrine and says it has the capacity to make nukes

      It was the headline that loaded when I put the URL in, if I can change the headline to what it currently says I will.

      Done.

    It’s easy to forget that Iran is in close communication with organizations it funds, including Hamas and Hezbollah. How much do they signal to these organizations their readiness for war with Israel? I’d like to know if Hamas leaders had any indication a year ago that it would be a good time to carry out the deadliest ground invasion of Israel in its history.

    Iran has been chasing nuclear capability for decades and now they suddenly achieve it?

      They have both a ballistic missile and nuclear energy program, and have been developing them for decades. It’s a short hop to combine them.

        Not to mention that, being a decently sizable country, making them is really more a matter of motivation to put in the resources and deal with the diplomatic effects than it is capacity ultimately. Like, North Korea was able to build them with a fraction of the population and economy and as even more of a pariah state, the technology has existed for just about 80 years at this point and while details of the specifics are secret, the basic gist of what they require is well known. Basically any country that isnt a microstate probably could build a few eventually, if they really wanted to spend all the money
