K. Wait nevermind.

Grossi likened the development of a nuclear weapon to a jigsaw puzzle, adding that Iran "has the pieces and they could eventually put them together one day".

What the hell is this bullshit? "Could eventually put them together one day"? This is fearmongering based on a nothingburger statement.

Well, they originally wanted to convince them to stop early. That ship has sailed.

It was during the era where most ppl thought it would be good to get rid of all nukes, to not destroy half the planet over an incident between two nations.

As russia has shown the world by attacking Ukraine, a nation absolutely needs nukes (or a trustworthy ally with nukes) to protect itself from russia. It's sad, but we entered a new era of mistrust.

Anyone with a chunk of uranium and a piece of high explosive is now a nuclear threat.
