Are you suggesting that they already have a nuclear weapon?

Did I suggest that? No I didn't.

Yet they didn't build a bomb with it. And they didn't enrich it to 80% or 90%. Even though they could have done either of those things. Which is why I noted that they didn't push forward full tilt. Unless, again - do you think they already have a nuke? Or 90% enriched uranium?

1. They don't need 90%.
2. Are you sure they can enrich to 80%? Do they still have centrifuges for that?
3. They more or less intimated to Witikoff that they could build 11 bombs if they wanted.

I fully understand what we want. What I don't understand is why you think that what you describe above would get us there, if the JCPOA didn't work.

Because the JCPOA was an idiot deal that gave us nothing except a false sense of security for a couple of years (and only then if you didn't really pay attention to the issue).

If Iran ever wants/needs to close the strait, they can blow up the pipelines then.

And the Gulf States get no vote, they're helpless to stop Big Bad Iran from just blowing up all their pipelines whenever they want.

So we and they should do nothing and keep the status quo in place in the Gulf.
