Even worse, it is believed that Iran also currently or will soon possess the ability to deliver such warheads potentially as far as Europe.
In reaction to the IAEA report President of Israel Issac Herzog posted this statement to social media:
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today issued a damning, unprecedented report exposing Iran’s true goal: advancing its nuclear weapons program, and achieving a nuclear bomb.
Iran is blatantly violating its core obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, blocking IAEA inspectors, and dangerously expanding uranium enrichment.
This is a blaring red alert. The international community must not look away — it must act now to stop Iran.
Iran, the head of the snake of terror and destruction in the Middle East, must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. The world must wake up and act decisively — before it’s too late. Stopping Iran’s nuclear capabilities is non-negotiable. This report’s unprecedented severity leaves no room for hesitation.

Austria’s intelligence service also believes Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program and expanding its missile capabilities. According to the report, Iran's nuclear weapons development is described as "well advanced," with Tehran now having an increasing number of ballistic missiles that are capable of transporting nuclear warheads across long ranges.
During his recent trip to the Middle East President Donald Trump said, "I want to make a deal with Iran, I want to do something if it's possible, but for that to happen, it must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars, and permanently and verifiably cease its pursuit of nuclear weapons... I'm strongly urging all nations to join us in fully and totally enforcing the sanctions that I just placed on Iran."
Yet, for all the hope placed in President Trump’s policy of negotiation, Americans seem prepared for the worst – a war to eliminate Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found voters are overwhelmingly concerned about Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and a majority would support an American military strike to end the threat.
The Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey found that 77% of Likely U.S. Voters are concerned that Iran may be developing a nuclear weapon, including 44% who are Very Concerned. Only 18% are not concerned.
While negotiating with Iran over the issue, President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program if a deal isn’t reached. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters would support military action by the United States to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program, including 28% who would Strongly Support it. Thirty percent (30%) would oppose a U.S. strike against Iran, including 17% who Strongly Oppose such military action. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.
Twenty-six percent (26%) of voters believe that, in his dealings with Iran, has Trump been too aggressive, but the same number – 26% – say he hasn’t been aggressive enough. Thirty-three percent (33%) think Trump’s response to Iran has been about right, and 15% are not sure.
Among voters who say Trump has not been aggressive enough in his dealings with Iran, 65% would support U.S. military action to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Majorities of every political category – 81% of Republicans, 80% of Democrats and 68% of voters not affiliated with either major party – are at least somewhat concerned that Iran may be developing a nuclear weapon.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of Republicans, 50% of Democrats and 48% of unaffiliated voters would support the United States taking military action against Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Forty-eight percent (48%) of Republicans, 20% of Democrats and 32% of unaffiliated voters think that in his dealings with Iran, Trump’s response has been about right. Democrats are more likely to believe Trump has been too aggressive in dealing with Iran.
There is almost no “gender gap” in terms of concern about Iran’s nuclear weapons program, but significantly more men (65%) than women voters (50%) would support a U.S. military strike to end the nuclear threat from Iran.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of whites, 56% of black voters, 57% of Hispanics and 73% of other minorities would support military action by the United States to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Voters 65 and older are more likely to be Very Concerned that Iran may be developing a nuclear weapon. Voters in their 40s are most likely to favor U.S. military action against Iran.
