Amid the ongoing conflict, analysts suggest Iran’s real “nuclear weapon” is not a deployed bomb but its stockpile of enriched uranium and ability to rapidly move toward weaponisation. While there is no confirmed evidence of an operational nuclear weapon, Iran retains significant nuclear capability despite US strikes on its facilities. This strategic ambiguity allows Tehran to use its nuclear potential as leverage in negotiations. Experts say the US must now adapt its strategy, balancing military pressure with diplomacy, as completely eliminating Iran’s nuclear capacity appears difficult and risks escalating the already fragile regional situation.
