In Iran, the temptation of nuclear weapons is gaining ground after the Israeli-American war

In Iran, discussions about acquiring nuclear weapons are intensifying following the recent conflict initiated by Israel and the U.S. on February 28. Political leaders and clergy are openly considering the development of an atomic bomb, questioning previous restraint. Mohsen Rezaï, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, highlighted the need to reassess their nuclear doctrine in light of potential new conflicts. Previously, Iran's opposition to nuclear weapons was based on a fatwa from former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which prohibited their development. However, this religious justification is now being challenged by some political elites.
