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
Good. Hopefully now Israel will think twice about invading a 3rd country.
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
Poland was in between Russia and Germany, and Germany didn’t have the manpower, they still tried.
They should. Israel already has nukes and the western powers haven’t done jack shit about it. Why wouldn’t Iran get some too?
Well duh, you didn’t think Iran was getting nothing for sending all those drones to Russia, did you?
