Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously An extremely ironic outcome. Bomb Squad President Donald Trump is trying to derail Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions by bombing its known nuclear research facilities — but it turns out that's easier said than done. US officials have trumpeted that the recent strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment sites, but satellite images have cast doubt on that claim. And in any case, Trump's bombing camp
