That's yet another assumption that gives the mullahs the benefit of the doubt. There's zero possibility they wouldn't be pushing forward full tilt boogie for a nuclear weapon.

I mean, except for the fact that they didn’t. Right? They’ve had 60% uranium for years, but didn’t proceed to a nuke. They had years under the JCPOA, and didn’t enrich past low levels.

And if what you’re saying is true, then what are we holding out for in Iran? All the Administration wants out of Iran is a *promise* that they won’t enrich their nuclear fuel to weapons grade. If we can’t trust them to keep that promise, and we can’t detect whether they enrich to weapons grade, then what exactly are we trying to get from them?

Sure

Yes, sure. That attack was before the ceasefire went into effect. It’s the same attack I linked to.

So in your mind Iran just bombs the Gulf states forever and they do nothing about it.

Of course not - any more than they were bombing the Gulf States in the decades before we started the current war. Iran had been hostile to the other states, but that hostility was expressed through low level proxy attacks rather than Iran bombing them directly with missiles and drones from Iranian territory. Once the current war is over, I would expect a return to that. And no, the Gulf states do not have a way to just unilaterally stop Iran from doing that.
