One thing is for sure, Iran will NOT make this easy for anyone nor will they give free political points to Biden or any other US politician. They will thoroughly leverage their greatest strength which is the fog-of-war/uncertainty surrounding their true progress towards a nuclear weapon for as long as possible.
hard to top the plane load of cash ...
"They will thoroughly leverage their greatest strength which is the fog-of-war/uncertainty surrounding their true progress towards a nuclear weapon for as long as possible."
Which is why if they already have a nuke or 2 or 3 they will not definitively say so. Iran has worked and in hand with Pakistan and North Korea. Iran may have provided money or material in addition to their knowledge to obtain a nuke from North Korea. North Korea needs the money.
The problem is not to have a nuke. The problem is to have nuke assembly like and enough nukes that are deliverable, so that they are a credible threat. Until then you play coy.
Now just one moment,holy beards. Y'all just might get another dose of the cadaverous johnny k., negotiator sans par.
