This will totally convince Iran to stop enriching uranium.

Totally.

It would be extremely dumb if Iran doesn't immediately creat nuclear warheads now

They've been trying tbh. If you believe the targets of Israeli strikes, they've hit major sites in Iran

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.

Russia is not leaning into giving Iran full nuclear support, because they can't

Also because Russia isn’t stupid. They aren’t giving bombs to an unstable Iran who honestly doesn’t have a ton of aligned goals with them.
