It would have been nice to see some corporate media articles about this over the last 20 years instead of the constant drumbeat of "Iran is just two weeks away from a bomb".
Cornered and wounded, will Iran now go for a nuclear bomb?
When Iran’s covert nuclear program came to international attention over two decades ago, Tehran insisted that its intentions were peaceful and that it had no plans to develop weapons.
The country’s then-supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, even went as far as issuing a fatwa, or legal ruling under Islamic law, banning them.
But his death at the hands of the United States and Israel last month could clear a path for the regime’s hardest-line factions to rethink the ruling. The public discourse in Iran is already heading that way.
