Iran Won’t Stop Until It Has a Nuclear Weapon

UANI Advisory Board Member Ray Takeyh writes: "It is a common hope within Washington’s foreign-policy establishment that no matter how close Iran gets to the atomic threshold, it won’t detonate a bomb. The intelligence community claims Tehran isn’t currently taking steps to build a nuclear weapon. Many want to believe that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s fatwa against the production and use of nuclear weapons will keep Iran a threshold state. These hopes are delusional. The Islamic Republic of Iran is led by an ardent ideological regime that frequently relies on conspiracies to explain its predicament."
