By contrast, many who support the current deal believe that 1) Iran’s leaders are rational individuals seeking to advance Iran’s national interests; 2) Iran has not yet decided to seek a nuclear weapon and probably prefers a condition of nuclear latency to a fully developed nuclear arsenal; and 3) getting the bomb wouldn’t transform Iran into a major world power overnight and certainly wouldn’t enable it to threaten Israel or blackmail its neighbors. If this view is accurate, then a final deal on Iran’s nuclear program — i.e., one that scales back those elements that shorten the breakout period but leaves Iran with some enrichment capacity — isn’t that significant by itself, because Iran wasn’t really seeking a weapon anyway and its getting a few bombs wouldn’t have that big an impact on world politics.
