— 🇮🇷 The past few weeks, most Iranian officials I talk to in private, are no longer strictly denying the possibility of developing nuclear weapons in the near future.

One year ago, this was very different, almost no Iranian politician was in favor of going nuclear, and they would often cite Imam Khamenei's Fatwa regarding the ban on nuclear weapons, which was made during the negotiations of the JCPOA and in context of Iran seeking closer relations with the West.

But now, the topic of nuclear weapons almost seems like an 'unspoken word' that everyone agrees upon, while no one straight up says it.

Even the more liberal ones seem to agree that going nuclear will be necessary, at least at some point in the future. But Iran's majority conservative Majlis (parliament) is shifting rapidly in favor of nuclear proliferation even in the short term.

I remember telling my parents some years ago, 'your generation lived through so many significant events, why can't I be a part of history?'

Well, God seems to have answered my prayer.
