Did they have confirmed nukes at any point? I thought they agreed to stop their nuclear program at energy production only.
6No. They never had nuclear weapons. They’d have to do tests which you can detect with seismographs and which can be confirmed with testing of air for particles on the borders of the country.

He said the White House knew well that “a political solution” was required to end the carnage in the besieged Gaza Strip and the current crisis in the Middle East.
