    Well finally, i live just in time for my already unstable region to have a full blown war. Just what we needed.

    Israel has nukes and iran can make them in weeks, nothing could go wrong! /s

    I’m unironically very worried right now, i live between them and am horrified of a full regional war, or worse; nuclear war.

        Thank you. I don’t know the exact implications currently, but i don’t need research to know this is really, really bad for the region.

        Iran’s nuclear program is one of the most scrutinized nuclear programs in the world. While the Islamic Republic of Iran claims its program is for peaceful purposes, it has developed nuclear technologies that provide it the capability to develop a nuclear weapon within weeks if it decides to do so

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran

        They still have the ability to make them in a matter of just weeks. I got it wrong in my comment so i’ll correct it, but it’s still concerning.

          And since they have had significantly less oversight on that program for the last seven years, thanks to - checks notes- DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, I would be absolutely gobsmacked if the weeks it would take weapons development from the “within weeks” estimate, had not already transpired fucking years ago.
