>>508307857Iran has had the ability to build nuclear weapons for well over a decade now.
But they haven't.
The Ayatollahs have consistently said that they consider nuclear weapons a sin.
I think it's safe to say they were very serious about that, but opted to try a little jew inspired trickery by always being on the brink of making a nuclear weapon but not actually making one.
The thinking being they could enjoy the strategic benefit of nuclear weapons without actually committing the sin of making a nuclear weapon.
