Despite the Trump Administration's assurances that Iran will never possess nuclear weapons and the optimism of U.S. delegates at the Oman talks, Iran is steadily advancing toward joining the nuclear club. History has shown that countries like North Korea, India, Pakistan, and Israel have all used deception and strategic ambiguity to conceal their nuclear development. Iran's actions mirror these countries, with the Oman talks potentially being another stall tactic. The US administration's belief that it can succeed where previous efforts failed appears dangerously optimistic, and the risks posed by a nuclear-armed Iran outweigh those of other nations.
