Western fears persists over Iranian ability to produce a nuclear bomb

Western fears persist over Iran’s ability to rebuild its conventional arsenal and potentially its nuclear program despite recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes. The attacks crippled Iran’s nuclear supply chain, killed key scientists, and destroyed missile launchers and air defenses, but Tehran retains a pathway to a nuclear weapon. Iran controls roughly 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, with its nuclear program still largely intact and capable of recovery. Hard-line Iranian parliament members advocate for building a nuclear weapon to deter future attacks, raising concerns about escalation. The fragile ceasefire has not eased tensions, and Iran’s proxy militias, though weakened, remain a threat. Experts warn that Iran’s wounded regime could emerge more dangerous and unpredictable, posing a significant risk to regional stability. -Source: WSJ
