Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons, though these days we’re betting they wish they did. For the past few days, Israel has been aggressively bombarding the country with missiles, arguing that they have to do it because they’re on the verge of completing their nuclear program.
There’s a teeny problem here: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has long had a fatwa in place forbidding Iran from the acquisition, development, and use of nuclear weapons. The argument is that nukes are forbidden under Islamic law as they indiscriminately kill women, children, and the elderly.
