Would Iran race toward the bomb? | Eye for Iran | EP 78
Iran says it is ready to talk to the United States on its own terms and has paused uranium enrichment after US and Israeli strikes. At the same time Tehran is allegedly building a secret enrichment site at Pickaxe Mountain and blocking inspectors. This while a leaked UN watchdog report shows there is no clear oversight of its 60 percent enriched uranium - enough for around ten nuclear weapons.In this episode of Eye for Iran Negar Mojtahedi sits down with nonproliferation expert Mark Fitzpatrick, author of “The Iranian Nuclear Crisis,” former US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Non Proliferation and associate fellow with the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). They break down Iran’s long-term strategy of nuclear hedging, why the Twelve Day War may have strengthened Tehran’s desire for a nuclear option and how Israel’s strikes have “temporized” but not ended the threat.
They also explore what happens if Saudi Arabia secures a civilian nuclear deal with President Donald Trump, whether this could spark a regional nuclear arms race involving Egypt, Turkey and the UAE and if Iran might ever turn to North Korea for help. What is Washington’s real end game and how far will Israel go to block any US–Iran deal? Watch the full conversation to find out or listen on any podcast platform of your choosing.
