I’m finding it hard to find concise info on what’s been going on in/around Iran. Can anyone throw a brief timeline of events for me? Pretty pretty please?

Edi: thanks for all the comments and answers, appreciate it!

    Iran has been “developing nuclear weapons” for 30 years. They’re strangely bad at it.

    Or maybe it’s been the go to excuse for western powers to swing their dick around so fcking long it automatically smells like bullshit

      Hum, no. They are “dangerously close” to making them for 30 years… Actually “a week away” from making them.

      They have actually been working on them for 60 years. IMO, it looks like that some 20 years ago, the Iran leadership decided to solve all of the hard problems and stop there so they can move fast if they need to.

          Israel has been claiming they are “a week away” from having the bomb for 30 years. They have been working on a bomb for 60 years, since the US worked with them to start their nuclear project.

          Some 20 years ago they got in a situation where it would actually take a couple of months to make a bomb. They seem to have stopped there on purpose.

          Is that the part that was confusing?

      They are strangely bad at it, and they have to keep it as hidden as possible. From the people of Iran and from the international governments.
