What happens if Iran gets nuclear weapons?​

Oct 18, 2024 #Iran #nuclear #ad

It looks increasingly likely that #Iran will get its hands on #nuclear weapons. If not this year, then in the years following. What would happen the day after?

We can't or won't control israeli nukes either...we need to go away.
