Entirely possible that the Islamic Republic makes it out of this war believing themselves to be victorious after coercing the U.S., Israel, and its neighbors into a negotiated settlement. Khamenei will be a martyr and a hero for guiding Iran through its darkest hours.

@laurnorman I wonder if he meant there wasn't an active nuclear weapons program [immediately] preceding the June 2025 attacks, not that there never was a program at all. Still awkward phrasing, but would make more sense perhaps.

for @rafaelmgrossi, who in his thrust for a diplomatic solution, seems to be giving a strange twist to what his own reports have said, to ask why he’s claiming knowledge that Iran isn’t and never has sought to develop nuclear weapons. Quite simply, his words don’t add up. -7-

Extraordinary that @rafaelmgrossi has said Iran did not have a nuclear weapons program. Something Iran is now using in its PR playbook, having spent most of the summer viciously attacking Grossi and the agency. Grossi’s reports have repeatedly said that IAEA can no longer -1-

And speaking of, all three - China, RUS, US - are still signatories of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and are therefore committed not to act in a way that would "defeat the object and purpose" of the Treaty. 3/

Other (NPT) nuclear-weapon states aren't testing nuclear weapons but Russia and China would sure love an excuse to revise that policy. Russia hinged their potential resumption of testing on the US doing so before they rescinded their CTBT ratification: reuters.com/world/russia-w… 2/

Trump *probably* meant nuclear-capable missile flight tests, given the timing of the announcement, but now that all the headlines are about (explosive) nuclear weapon testing, I hope the admin doesn't lock itself into a terrible, reckless policy choice. 1/

I’ve seen various reactions to the news that @iaeaorg inspectors are back on Iran. Though @rafaelmgrossi said last night they will resume activities not have resumed. The critics say this is a fig leaf action from Iran. That for now, it appears IAEA is close to agreement only -1-
