U.S. intelligence assessments suggest that President Donald Trump’s war in Iran has done little to slow the country’s nuclear capabilities, according to a report. Ensuring that Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon was one of the key objectives laid out by Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the beginning of the war, which started on February 28. Two months on, Tehran’s nuclear program remains broadly unchanged since last year’s U.S. attack, according to Reuters news agency, citing intelligence sources familiar with the matter. The Trump administration’s Operation Midnight Hammer campaign in June 2025 pushed the timeline of the country’s nuclear capabilities back by nine months to a year, and it remains broadly unchanged now as the U.S. military has largely avoided striking nuclear targets this time, according to Reuters. Before last year’s 12-day war, U.S. intelligence agencies estimated that Iran could produce enough bomb-grade uranium to build a bomb in around three to six months, according to the outlet.
He’s just told everyone in the world they need Nukes or the US might attack them randomly. I’m pretty certain Iran will speedrun Nukes or just buy one outright from Russia now.
He has, but in fairness Russia told everyone that when it invaded Ukraine, who had nukes and gave them up! And also Trump told everyone again last year when he first attacked Tehran last year… and when he did the coup d’état in Venezuela.
Not to mention how North Korea is a lot more untouched than it otherwise probably would be.
North Korea was untouchable from the beginning due to all the artillery it has embedded in the mountains, aimed at Seoul. The Korean peninsula was a hostage situation whereby the North would destroy Seoul at the first sign of trouble and nobody, not even the USA, was able to do anything about it.
North Korea sought nukes not for security but to give it options for further extortion.
Oh bullshit
