Iran's Nuclear Weapons Race : Breakout Inevitable? Israel at War

Iran has invested a lot of effort over several decades to advance it’s nuclear project, giving it the option of racing towards nuclear weapons if it so chooses, which Western Intelligence claims it has not yet achieved. But if this is indeed the case, then Iran is simply a mere policy decision away from shedding its civilian use costume in favor of admitting the true nature of its nuclear enterprise. Iran could opt for remaining in its current position of a de-facto threshold nuclear weapon state, or make a run for a fait accompli, forcing Israel and the US to rise to the challenge and make good on their threats to do everything in their power to disrupt and destroy it.
