In fact, I think an Iranian bomb might actually be a good thing. Could really serve to stabilize the region.

This is correct and why they're upset, having a nuke means they can't easily be fucked with which is why nk doesn't do much time and money developing theirs.

Now, whether the program is actually currently active? That's a whole other question. It's quite possible it's been dormant, I'm not aware of what the most reliable sources say on the current state of things.

Our own intelligence says it's not active but they are or were enriching to industrial levels for power generation.

The smoking gun was found in 2023. It was found by the IAEA to have enriched uranium up to 83.7%.

Not really, they found experiments to enrich and very small volumes of highly enriched uranium which in itself is not illegal, many universities have access to enriched uranium so a country should have no issue possessing amounts far far to small to be used in a bomb. You're basically saying they can't even experiment in particle physics which is insane and immoral.

If the US and pisrahell terrorist states have them so can Iran.
They didn't have a nuclear WEAPON program for decades.
They honored the JPCOA, the US broke it.
I really hope they get one from Pakistan, as they said they may deliver them.
Not that they need them since they're doing fine turning pissrahell into Gaza with just balistics.
Heartwarming.
