Following the U.S. military strikes against Iran last summer, U.S. President Trump announced that all of the country’s nuclear facilities had been destroyed. While other sources offered less sweeping assessments, it nevertheless became clear that several facilities had sustained significant damage.

This blog post discusses the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon and explains why military means make it difficult to prevent Iran from acquiring one.
