Hyping Nuclear Threats Is Counterproductive

The article argues that hyping nuclear threats to justify war is counterproductive and compares past efforts involving Iraq and Iran. It notes that while both countries were subject to nonproliferation efforts, recent US-Israel strikes in June 2025 reportedly degraded Iran’s ability to build weapons by damaging essential facilities. The author suggests buying time through legitimate strategies, such as those outlined in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
