China’s Missile Test & Iran’s Bomb: Inside the New Nuclear Arms Race | Mark Fitzpatrick
What was said
"I think the attacks on it have made them even more um desirous of having a nuclear weapons capability at some time in the future and they have the wherewithal uh to do that um not immediately but within a year or so I think they could."
Fitzpatrick warns that Iran's nuclear ambitions have intensified following recent U.S. strikes, and the country possesses the technical capability to develop nuclear weapons within approximately one year. This assessment comes amid the collapse of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and escalating military exchanges, with Iran having already secured significant concessions in the now-defunct June memorandum of understanding.
