17. China gave Pakistan help with their nuclear program

And Pakistan is right up there with the worst crazies. Certainly crazy enough to help Iran.

There’s increasing evidence Russia’s been helping North Korea with their nuclear program. NK is definitely as crazy and unstable as Iran.

Heck we partnered with Stalin for a while…

History is littered with weird military partnerships.

As far as the US or Israel gathering intelligence via satellite on any Iranian weapons development, I’m not at all confident they won’t just park it in the middle of Tehran now and it will just look like any industrial building on the planet. The Iranians are savvy and clever. However/wherever they work on their nuclear program development next, it won’t look like before imo.
