Biden has vowed not to let Iran develop a nuclear weapon on his watch, but it remains unclear what steps Iran would have to take in order for the Biden administration to respond with direct hits, given that Tehran has already been reported to have stockpiled near-weapons-grade uranium and to be bolstering its weaponization capabilities.

Axios reported that outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden has urged Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities before Donald Trump takes charge on. Israel is reportedly considering bombarding Iranian nuclear facilities in response to the recurring Houthi attacks on the Jewish state in the past few weeks.
