    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.

        I hope this is sarcasm.

        I really don’t know anymore. You can put the evidence directly in front of someone’s face and they choose to ignore and deny its existence.

        The United States has historically empowered Israel as a deterrent to Iran’s hostility in the region and towards the US. I agree that defensive measures are necessary but the efforts that Trump has taken go too far to promote the annihilation of non-Jews in the region.

        Trump is pure evil. He is measurably worse than anything Biden has done / not done. If you believe otherwise you are forgetting or ignoring the Trump administration.

        To thank Trump about this is to thank him for taking steps towards nuclear war.

    Why change the headline?

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

      Israel would never invade Iran.

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

    Oddly, Iranian women showing their hair is the best way to defeat the Iranian regime.

    They should. Israel already has nukes and the western powers haven’t done jack shit about it. Why wouldn’t Iran get some too?

      They really shouldn’t; simply because we can’t trust Israel to be a rational actor in the region and not perform a “pre-emptive” strike.

    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?
