I am not sure of that. It seems Iran had been breaching the nuclear nonproliferation agreements and in June 2025, after the UN nuclear watchdog declared Iran in violation and the US engaging in negociations with Iran that failed. Then the United States bombed Iran’s major nuclear facilities.
It was an independent watchdog that had oficially declared Iran in breach. The US then acted on that breach. People can disagree with the method of dealing with that breach. But the next step was brought on by by Iran breaching the agreement.
Thats correct. Not the specific programs to produce the final product and weapon. But much of the surrounding infrastructure and higher levels of refinement well beyond energy requirements. Which raises a red flag. Hense we need to see for ourselves. But they won't let us.
As mentioned above it seems the independent UN watchdog breached Iran for not complying and then after negociations between US and others broke down Isreal and the US took action. All Iran had to do was agree to the conditions I guess.
I am not sure when this was. But at first Iran was not a signatory and then ratified this in 2003. It has from the beginning tried to side step compliance and its responsibility to build toward a nuclear weapon. Everyone knows that is their aim. They have stated this themselves.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) subsequently discovered that Iran was violating its basic obligations in the early 2000s by secretly building undeclared facilities, such as the Natanz enrichment plant and the Arak heavy water reactor, without prior notification. [1, 2]
Iran’s nuclear program and missile arsenal have garnered increased international scrutiny. A joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign launched in early 2026 seeks to destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure.

I would not trust one thing Iran says. They admit that lying is part of the way in which they can decieve the enermy and trick them into submission and defeat. I think people forget that this is not another democratically elected government. This is a radical theocratic regime who want to impose their religion on everyone.
Which coincidently happens to be one of the only free democracies in the middle east.
Under international law, 191 nations are legally bound to never acquire nuclear weapons. Its not something new and we have always seen certain nations as a threat to have nuclear weapon capabilities.

They are also the most attacked people in the history of humankind. If we are speaking about rights to be armed and defend itself then Isreal has the best defense to do so of all nations. Not that I agree that being armed is the answer to world peace. Its more about peace by the gun that true peace in Christ.
Islam also says its a religion of peace. Once again I do not believe one thing they say.
Yes a doomsday scenario brought about by an evil actor towards Isreal.
Or a realistic way they see in defending themselves. But I think this has been the case for all nuclear nations. As mentioned there were only a certain nations deemed able to have nuclear weapons due to the threat level they imposed on the rest of the world.
The difference is is that the US and its allies have been seen as the ones who head the new world from WW2. They overseen the UN Human Rights charter and were involved in most of the world bodies to ensure peace and order. Rightfully so as other nations were in chaos or inflicting inhumane treatments that needed to be stopped.
To equate the US and Isreals democratic values and freedoms with a regime that is inflicting human rights abuses on their own people is unreal and unfair. There is good reason why we trust certain people, world bodies and nations over others.
Iran is already a big threat and has been for a long time. They are behind all the terror groups I mentioned earlier. They all have the same radical ideology. They were only 20 odd years ago attacking the west and making our lives hell. Covid came along and we got better at security.
But they have been focusing on Isreal again. Hamas is the latest example. This is the same ideology as 9/11 and other terror attacks. They trace right back to Iran and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before his death.
