Somewhat helpful, describing some of the strategy and influence on Iran.  But Iran still has to decide on its own, despite outside influence, if it will act as a normal country.  “Russia’s Deliberately Unclear Strategy for Iran,” GPF, 10-14-24.

“Iran’s Nuclear Tipping Point,” Foreign Affairs, 10-14-24.  But wait!  The Islamic Republic of Iran, and its two ayatollahs, have always said its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes, and never for nuclear weapons.  The current Supreme Leader has repeatedly said he has a fatwa (although he never shows the document) saying that if Iran pursued nuclear weapons that it is against the will of Allah.  So, … if Iran is now pursuing a weapons program, shouldn’t the worlds’ countries and the United Nations say Iran is not telling the truth?
