U.S. maintains Iran has not decided to pursue a nuclear weapon, despite recent setbacks.

The U.S. maintains that Iran has not decided to pursue a nuclear weapon, despite recent setbacks, including Israeli military actions and Iran's missile attacks. U.S. officials assert that Iran's Supreme Leader has not reversed the 2003 suspension of its weaponization program. This intelligence supports U.S. opposition to Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, as Tehran enriches uranium to near weapons-grade levels, but would still take months to develop a nuclear bomb.
