Iran should have kept the nukes...

Let's hope they did.

Israel gets to play the pretend game, after all. Why shouldn't Iran?

Did they have confirmed nukes at any point? I thought they agreed to stop their nuclear program at energy production only.

No. They never had nuclear weapons. They’d have to do tests which you can detect with seismographs and which can be confirmed with testing of air for particles on the borders of the country.

Additionally Isn’treal would have acted differently. Either suing for peace or forcing the US to join it in an attack.

Additionally one of the top Islamic authorities there opined nuclear weapons were un-Islamic.
