Israel's gamble on force could push Iran to accelerate nuclear plans
Briefly

Israel's military campaign against Iran has resulted in the death of high-profile nuclear scientists and military leaders, showcasing its military prowess. However, experts believe that despite these actions, Iran’s nuclear program remains largely intact and resilient. Israeli strikes have delayed Iran's capability to achieve a functional nuclear weapon but have not significantly changed the timeline. Critics argue that this could incite Iran to hasten its nuclear development if the conflict ends without a comprehensive deal. The violence has also intensified fear among Iranian leadership and anger among civilians, complicating internal sentiments against the government.
In just a few days of war, Israel has killed more than a dozen of Iran's top nuclear scientists, taken out much of its top military hierarchy and attacked key parts of its nuclear programme.
Even if Netanyahu's claims about Iran being on the brink of a nuclear bomb are accurate, the strikes executed so far will not have provided Israel with much additional time.
