When U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel earlier this week, one of his top agenda’ items was obviously Iran’s Nuclear program. Israeli officials have publicly claimed that they were successful in making the case against the Biden administration re-entering the JCPOA. Blinken argued that last fall the agreement was about to be revived, but that Iran has changed its mind, keeps working on accumulating fissile material, and the American response is having “everything on the table” - a reference to a military option should diplomacy fail.
Faced with this warning, which is backed by other signals, how close is Iran to a military Nuclear capability?
