Nuclear weapon

"Without verification, any agreement is no agreement. It’s an illusion of an agreement, or it’s a promise, which you don’t know whether it will be complied with or not," Grossi explained.

Talks over Iran mask a deeper reality: enrichment, missiles, and Hormuz strategy persist regardless of diplomacy.

Former supreme leader Ali Khamenei is dead. Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure has been set back to a degree Israeli defense planners would have called fantasy in 2024. But the regime survived.

He said Iran's lack of cooperation “led us to a place or a position where we lost the necessary continuity of knowledge to be able to confirm that everything in Iran was in peaceful use."

For Israel and the United States, a nuclear war in the Middle East could take place even while Iran is still non-nuclear.

Shmuel Rosner, a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute, shared his perspective on Israel’s current war with Iran in an interview for this week's Deep Dive.

One of the sources alleged there was no plan to change Iran's nuclear doctrine yet and claimed that the regime had not decided to seek a bomb, despite enriching uranium.

The ongoing Iran war shows that ambition without clear objectives risks prolonged conflict and setbacks.

The central challenge of the international community is no longer preventing war between the superpowers, but rather containing attempts by radical regimes to breach the limits of deterrence.

The force, which may not necessarily be involved in ground combat operations in Iran, includes a squadron of F‑35 fighter jets and tiltrotor MV‑22 Osprey aircraft.
