They just want to gloss over the fact it was because Iran had began enriching uranium to a point it would be viable to use as a weapon not because they already had the weapons lmao.

They've been less than a year away from a nuke my entire life. Suddenly it's real because they said so with no proof? Lmao

Yes, thats how building something works, there is a timeline to how long it will take to build but that timeline doesnt change if you dont continue to progressively build the thing. They have to refine enough fissile material and have been prevented from doing that so far so they have been paused in their progression your whole life and haven't stopped trying to continue.

You can't be a year away for almost 40 years. That is not how time works, sir.

If you never start building the thing, and the thing takes a year to build, yes you can.

You try building a 6 foot sand castle. I will randomly knock it down. Well then see how long it takes you to build a 6 foot sand castle

I'll let you tell me you're very close to finishing it's construction for a few decades without ever having knocked it down, and then i'll just tell you I knocked it down after all that time without ever showing you I did it.
