Iran Could Pursue A Nuclear Weapon To Restore Deterrence Lost In Suleimani Strike

The National Interest

UANI Research Analyst David Daoud writes: "On January 3, President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) external operations branch. Days later, the regime retaliated by rocketing Iraqi army bases hosting U.S. forces. However, Iran's truly concerning reaction came when it announced an end to all limits on its uranium enrichment capacity, the percentage of enrichment, stockpiling, and research and development."
