Did they have a goal of building one? Hard to say.
The rogue states that did build one went the other way - stole plutonium and knowhow from their allies and developed and tested the weapon with a little help from their murderous apartheid allies.
Iran went about it in the hardest, most roundabout way possible - banning the weapon in a fatwa, digging and refining uranium and developing not a single, hidden low power plutonium reactor... Kinda hard to believe they are serious.
But even imagining the fake news about "Iran being weeks from a bomb" in 2026 were true, we still measure the failure in a war by what the aggressor wanted. Like his corrupt pal putin, the convicted felon and rapist failed completely.
"Teheran for 3 weeks" failed as spectacularly as "Kyiv for 3 days".
Iran is successfully blocking the dire straits and there is absolutely nothing the trumpistan can do to open them . Look, ma, no bases, no radars.
The oil exports are still down 50% compared to January 2026 data and unlikely to go up on a short notice.
The refined oil products are down between 60 and 100% and not recovering anytime soon - the refineries are gone.
China is building refineries to capture the processing market.
Iran is bombing the radical shia Muslims (the very same who did 9/11 and most of the suicide bombings, the ones you cheer) across the Persian Gulf, they are desperate for help but trump refused to do anything at all. No surprise - no supplies.
The HEU is still in Iranian hands.
The regime is still in power.
A total loss vis a vis the announced "goals", putin-style.
And a lone moron on /. trying to put a brave face on it.
Go sieg-heil somewhere else :)))
