This is correct. The problem is, this cant be done by air alone. its going to require a real war on the ground. Thats where we part ways . I find it morally, ethically, financially wrong on every level , right now it looks like preparations are being made just for that
Honestly, I think Iran will acquire nuclear weapons by some means before any invasion can take place (roughly 1-2 years) I see it as a race to get an invasion force up and ready vs Iran obtaining a nuke and demonstrating it
Russia and China have a decision to make , allow the US take over Iran and the straights controlling the flow of oil , and the mid east fore the next 50 years plus , or supply Iran with the percusors to make nuclear weapons or the weapons themselves .
Pakistan has already offered Iran nuclear weapons . Personally I think its way to late , at this point its a fools errand . The only way Iran comes out of this , is by obtaining nuke s or die . They are backed into a corner , only one way out for them .

We could hold them off indefinitely, but it would take a fresh midnight hammer every 6 months to a year.
They would just wait it out until there is an administration that doesn't have the balls to do that.
They'd get another democrat to sent them a plane load of cash in exchange for pinky swearing not to build nukes, again. Then when the Isrealis show that they are building them anyway the democrats would accuse them of lying until Tel Aviv glows in the dark.
In theory you could destroy enriched uranium by mixing in enough depleted uranium to basically "un-enrich" it. This is easy in a factory setting, but not sure if a bomb could mix them well enough.
You are probably right about a "boots on the ground" approach being necessary to take it.
The alternative is to keep forcing regime changes until we get an Ayatolla who'd rather live than be a nuclear power. Seems to have worked in Venezuela.
Probably the best solution is to just keep destroying the IRGC until they end up with a power vacuum.

Me thinks they will obtain ready to use weapons, If it looks like the west is amassing an army , somebody will most likely sell give them a few dozen

That would be the end of whoever did it, and everyone knows that.
Nobody is going to give a nuclear weapon to anyone they even suspect might use it.
Knowledge, sure. Equipment to refine your own, sure. But never any actual nuclear material let alone a bomb.
Imagine what happens if Iran or one of their proxies detonated a Chinese or Pakistani nuke in one of their neighbors cities. That would be the end of the nuclear program for the source country, and possibly the whole country.
What would Russia do if we gave Ukraine a couple nukes and they used them ?

When South Africa was being dissolved they gave their nuclear (atomic) weapons to Israel.
Before that, nobody knew South Africa had atomic weapons.

That makes sense. They don’t want it to go on forever, but they want Iran gone. I don’t blame them and I honestly wouldn’t be sad if that happened either with their history. However, I did not get that from your post so thanks for clearing that up.

A drone strike has targeted the United Arab Emirates’ sole nuclear power plant, sparking a fire on its perimeter. There were no reports of injuries or radiological release. But the incident on Sunday highlighted the risk of renewed war as the Iran ceasefire remains tenuous. No one immediately cla...
