Iran's nuclear weapons program: On the verge of breakout

With less than four weeks to go before the U.S. elections, tension is rising vis-a-vis the Iranian Nuclear project. For the first time, President Biden spoke publicly about the military option against it, and though he said he would not support an Israeli retaliation against these facilities, he did not banish the idea as unthinkable. Meanwhile, Iran is edging closer to achieving an initial Nuclear warhead potential and may be considering a demonstration of its ability to test a crude device. What are the plausible scenarios of a pre-election Iranian Nuclear breakout - and what can be done about it?
