The vice-presidential debate on Tuesday opened with a question about supporting or opposing a pre-emptive strike on Iran by Israel due to concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities. However, nuclear experts have clarified that it would take Iran months to a year, not weeks, to develop a nuclear weapon. The debate's premise was deemed misleading by experts, as building a usable nuclear bomb involves complex processes beyond just acquiring nuclear fuel. Despite recent reports suggesting Iran's ability to quickly produce nuclear fuel, the actual process of weaponization involves multiple intricate steps such as metallurgy, engineering, and testing. The confusion over Iran's nuclear capabilities has been fueled by incomplete information in public reports focusing on nuclear breakout time rather than the comprehensive weapon development process. While Iran's ability to produce enriched uranium quickly is acknowledged, the steps required to create a functional nuclear warhead are extensive and time-consuming. Experts emphasize that even if Iran were to achieve nuclear breakout, it would still need significant time to develop a deliverable warhead capable of withstanding various conditions. The article also highlights the importance of considering multiple factors when assessing the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program. Experts suggest that Iran may aim to possess a significant arsenal of nuclear weapons before conducting any tests or detonations. The presence of even one nuclear weapon could significantly alter the strategic landscape, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation and decision-making in matters of war and arms control.
