How close was Iran to a nuclear weapon before Israel’s strike on Tehran?

Israel's airstrikes on Tehran escalate tensions as Israeli sources claim Iran was assembling a nuclear device, while others maintain Iran has not reauthorized its weapons program.

Beni Sabti, an Iran expert at the Institute of National Security Studies, told Fox News Digital the threat was urgent and specific: Tehran was pulling its materials together "in a secret place near Tehran to make a primitive warhead."

Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum, said that since the Trump administration reinitiated nuclear negotiations, Israel had been collecting fresh intelligence that raised alarm bells.
