But if that's the case...they still do.

That's right. They do.

Notice what wasn't said. *When* they got this done and for *how long* they've had this stockpile. It's beyond clear that Obama was played (or just didn't understand what he was doing) when he signed the JCPOA agreement because obviously Iran took the money while continuing on their merry way towards making nukes.

The material doesn't disappear because we bomb it - if even we've bombed it this time, because it was "spirited away" before we could bomb it last time. That's why bombing them seven months ago didn't work to eliminate the nuclear threat. And why therefore this bombing campaign won't eliminate Iran's nuclear threat, either.

We have to hunt down the stockpile and/or kill anyone with knowledge of making nuclear weapons. There are 460-odd kg of 60% enriched uranium hidden in some storage locker someplace. You think Mossad is interested in finding it?

This war comes down to one thing, and you're going to push back megahard on it: Clearing the board. Venezuela was a board-clearing exercise. Iran was. Cuba is next (and they're talking to us right now).

It should be beyond obvious to anyone not on Barack Obama's or Joe Biden's foreign policy team that a nuclear-armed Iran that had ballistic missile capabilities was a dire threat to the region and US National Security across the board. The Iranians for the first time admitted they had that stuff and as such...the regime needed to die, pronto. They forgot the first lesson of strategic ambiguity: don't show your cards.
