They're committed. They'll rebuild. Just as Stuxnet just delayed things.

This is just another square in my world war three bingo board. Sits pretty close to breaking the nuclear taboo square.

A country doesn't acquire nukes to use them. They acquire them to freeze specific layers of conflict. Actually using them among peers invites annihilation.

It turns out (and I didn't realize this until I looked back into it just a few years ago) that the 70s/80s concept of nuclear winter is discredited and believed not to be something that would arise from a global thermonuclear holocaust.

This is the end of any hope. Iran will now do everything in its power to get one. And it has all the skills it needs.

Refinement keeps getting easier.
