Is Iran going nuclear? With Khamenei gone, will Mojtaba listen to hardliners’ demands for nuke bomb?

Iran’s internal debate over pursuing a nuclear bomb is intensifying as hardliners gain influence amid the ongoing war with the U.S. and Israel. Calls to abandon restraint, withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and actively build a weapon are becoming more public and forceful. The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has further shifted the balance toward more aggressive factions, with the IRGC playing a larger strategic role. While no official policy change has been announced, growing pressure suggests Tehran may reconsider its long-standing nuclear stance as the conflict deepens and regime survival concerns mount.
