Iran's 'virtual nukes' have long served as excuses
Original: Iran’s ‘virtual nukes’ have provided a long list of excuses
Iran's nuclear programme, described as 'virtual nukes' because Tehran has amassed enrichment know-how and stockpiles without testing an actual weapon, has repeatedly been used to justify political and military actions. Observers note the programme has supplied a long list of pretexts, for sanctions, strikes and regional confrontation, while Iran insists its activities are purely peaceful.
Why now: Ongoing tension over Iran's nuclear capabilities keeps debate about its programme and the pretexts built around it alive.
