Iranians took full advantage of the program. They founded the Tehran Nuclear Research Center at the University of Tehran. When the U.S. provided Iran with a nuclear research reactor and highly enriched uranium in 1967, they stored them at the center.

Eight months after Kansas congressmen claimed Iran's nuclear program was "obliterated," President Donald Trump has again attacked Iran.

President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran were decisive. His reasons for launching the war and definition of victory have been less clear.
