Nobody with any sense at all ever thought Trump was averse to war. I only hope Iran means that preemptive strikes are on the menu. Nuclear weapons should be, too, and as a priority. I realize their principled refusal to acquire nukes, but the US will not only topple the government, it will destroy the country if it can, and there's only one thing that almost guarantees that it won't.
While true that Iran does not officially have nuclear warheads (or, like "israel", simply doesn't disclose as much), iirc they *do* have some 400kg of HEU..that could make for a lot of hypersonic "dirty bombs" that can irradiate tiny, defenceless "israel" for generations, if push comes to shove.
I suppose, but dirty bombs lack the military threat that actual nukes have and are, I think, far too close to terrorism for Iran to use. Less likely than nukes, in other words.
