Article Synopsis
Iran is working to rebuild its nuclear program after recent U.S. and Israeli strikes damaged key facilities, according to experts. While the extent of the damage remains unclear, Iran appears focused on repairing and reconstituting its capabilities — and may use diplomacy to buy time.
Despite hinting at openness to talks with the U.S., Iran has suspended cooperation with the UN’s nuclear watchdog (IAEA), raising concerns it’s using limited transparency as a bargaining chip. Analysts warn that Iran’s long-term goal of acquiring a nuclear weapon remains unchanged, viewing it as a strategic deterrent tied to broader regional ambitions.
