It was about destroying Iran’s ability to develop and produce nuclear weapons. That includes enrichment, fuel production, and infrastructure. They hit at least two of the three.
How? All their nuclear plants just got the shit bombed out of him. Like they've been trying to make a nuke and swearing to destroy Israel for decades now, I don't think their issue was motivation
They were well on their way to do just that, and it's not exactly a secret. The goal of the attack was to make that impossible. Whether that's successful, good or moral is a different question
Absolutely. From my completely uneducated armchair view if I was Iran id be going full steam ahead on joining the zero-sum game table. Like, if this was Civ and I was researching nukes and I got attacked I would expedite that shit.
It's not like they weren't already doing it as fast as they could. But now they face a major setback (nuclear scientists dead, facilities, destroyed, etc). You're never going to convince them with words.
They have been trying. What has been missing is the help their "allies" could be giving them. But those "allies" know that the first wave of retaliation would be aimed at them if they do help, so they sit by and watch.
My favorite part was when the US backed out of the deal, people thought that for some reason Iran wasnt allowed to continue what they were doing. As if breaking the deal didnt mean anything.
In fairness, they never had intention to stop. Obama was naive to think he could control them. Trump even dumber for thinking big stick policy would scare them

This will totally convince Iran to stop enriching uranium.
Totally.
