The expansion underway at the Fordow underground plant alone could allow Iran to accumulate several bombs' worth of nuclear fuel every month, according to The Washington Post.
Putin, as part of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, said that if any countries tried to stop Russia, they would face “such consequences that you have never encountered in your history”. It’s hard to take that two ways.
Also, much of the point isn’t who has threatened to use them. The more nuclear weapons material floating around, the more chance that it lands in the hands of someone with no compunctions about actually using it. The Doomsday Clock gets closer to midnight every time another country gets nukes.
Maybe world leaders will finally be pushed towards diplomacy. As far as I see it, the region needs deterrence against foreign aggression. Just look at what Russia did to Ukraine after it gave up its nukes, or what the US did to Iraq and Libya. I don’t want that to happen to any other country in the region. Iran, Saudi Arabia and others all have a right to nuclear weapons. Israel already introduced them to the region and they are as fanatical and genocidal as any country can be.
