Does it cross anyone's mind that just maybe Donald Trump didn't want this war but had no option? Maybe there was compelling evidence that Iran was on the point of commissioning nuclear weapons and that taking action was the lesser of two evils? I don't know for sure but it might just be a possibility? There's NO political advantage to be had from this war, it's almost a shoe-in that the Democrats will sweep the board in the mid-terms now, guaranteeing the final two years of his Presidency is a sterile rerun of 2017 to 2020, and that they may well now regain the White House at the end of 2028. He must have known that was the card being dealt. I think we need to wait longer before deciding on the viability or otherwise of Operation Epic Fury.
Part of the reason why Iran has been unable to develop nuclear weapons is because there has been a serious campaign by the Israelis for decades to prevent this. I remember stories of Israeli assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists and sabotage of Iranian nuclear facilities in the 2000's. But if you want proper evidence, read this article:
Iran had enough 60% enriched uranium stockpiled prior to February this year to enable them to build 10 nukes. During the time of the JCPOA, the IAEA were often blocked from full inspections and German intelligence found the Iranians to be trying to illicitly procure nuclear and ballistic technology. A lack of missiles now does not mean that there was no attempt to develop them, but, from the evidence at hand, is more evidence of how seriously the Israelis were trying to stop the Iranians getting nukes.
Now, aside from the question of nukes, Iran has been a major sponsor of terrorism for decades. The Iranians formed an alliance with Al Qaeda in the 90's, and it has developed in such a way that IS have started declaring Al Qaeda to be an Iranian proxy at this point (see the latest editorial in the IS paper Naba). Iranian backed organisations such as the IHRC also help campaign in support of the laws that enable mass non-White immigration in the UK. Iran is likely also helping to bankroll the corrupt ANC in South Africa in their ongoing campaign of White genocide.
None of this is to say that I am in favour of the war or that I support Israel. Britain's regional allies are Jordan and the countries of the GCC, not Israel. This should inform any British policy regarding Iran. We should understand that the Islamic Revolution in Iran and throughout the Middle East has been involved in some degree of war against our actual allies for decades, ranging from the Khobar Towers bombing in 1996 to the attack on the Saudi Aramco Abqaiq processing facility in September 2019. This doesn't mean we should join a war that we have no real ability to contribute positively to or support it, but it does mean that we need to understand that the Iranians are hostile towards us.
It's a little early.

Iran has been “on the point of commissioning nuclear weapons” since I was in high school in the 1990’s. Is there a shred of evidence for this?
