But making outrageous claims then replying with " why are you defending Iran " is the gimmick.

Its like a psyop meme mash-up of reddit arguments, ad infinitum

Iran likely was weeks away from a nuclear bomb - they had all the parts, materials and know-how. They just needed the final steps of enrichment, and hand assembly a bomb. They had been in this position of a long time without taking the final steps, but at any time they only needed a few weeks to the first working bomb if they wanted to take those steps. (if they wanted to do mass production that would take longer)
