    Her stated position hasn’t changed and is very carefully worded.

    Iran IS only that far away.

    Until the Supreme Leader removes the fatwa against nuclear weapons, then Iran won’t produce one.

    But, they want to make one very quickly, if the fatwa is removed.

    It’s one of the ways you can know the whole fear of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is bullshit.

      Wait, they’re actually ideologically opposed to nuclear weapons and therefore are not working on one?

        Yes. Which is anther reason all the fearmongeing about Iran getting nukes is bullshit and lies. Khamenei issued a fatwa against nukes as a matter of human dignity and Islamic respect for life, and has held firm to that for over a decade. Meanwhile, there are protests demanding the fatwa be revoked because people feel Iran (correctly) that needs nukes to defend themselves against AmeriKKKan and Isntreali aggression.

        So many countries fucked by imperialism go this route and it’s genuinely insane. They must’ve been smacked with propaganda over it
