Iran has fine engineers and physicists and mathematicians that are quite capable of making an atomic bomb and perhaps a thermonuclear bomb with North Korean bomb technology from North Korea and Pakistan. This is stolen technology from the USA but a different subject.
In reality they have the atomic bomb and probably the thermonuclear bomb courtesy of North Korea.
That is the grim reality and must be addressed as the grim realli9ty it is. The choices are bad and worse.

I myself do not believe that the Iranians have Thermo. Nevertheless, they have the potential for massive destruction even with a non thermonuclear weapon.
Quite frankly, my opinion is that there is no alternative but to attack and Destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. Should Iran actually stage an attack, the retaliation would kill hundreds of thousands of Iranian people, with whom we have no quarrel. That would be an immense tragedy.
“The choices are bad and worse.”
When playing games with nuclear war, those are the only two choices.
