I keep wondering what Iran planned to do with its 440kg of U-235 enriched to 60% when most nuclear reactors need only 5% and some needing only up to 20%.

You can definitely guess what are they gonna do with it now since the inept US attack obliterated every incentive there was to not do that.

If they were smart, build a defensive nuclear arsenal. It certainly seems to have worked for North Korea.

A functional nuclear weapon would definitely have prevented the current war. Hard to blame them for trying.

Circular reasoning. The current war is only because Iran was building a “functional nuclear weapon”.

I don't care about hypotheticals, there is already a hyper violent belligerent country in the middle east with a few hundred "illegal" nukes. Their officials/thinkers have already stated insane things about using the nukes on eg innocent European capitals without anyone doing counter clarification or pushback. I'd worry much more about the nukes and fissile materials there.
