If that was true, they wouldn't have cooperated with IAEA for years, and it was ne US that destroyed any chances for a peaceful deal.

    Yes, and that was a cruel, stupid move on the US’s part.

    …But even if cooperation continued, it still would have given Iran expertise. Further enrichment is not a huge step, especially behind the cover of real civilian power programs, and given the rhetoric the state broadcasts and their neighbor’s hostility, it seems likely.

    And that’s fine IMO.

    I’m hugely afraid of proliferation, but going to these lengths to worry about it while the rest of the world burns seems ridiculous.

    I've watched an hour long video on uranium enrichment once (one of the many times Satanyahoo cried wolf on Iran almost having nukes).
    It is most definitely a huge step and there are many other factors.
    It's really complicated matter.
    I wish for them it wasn't and that they get one.
