"Our nukes are more prolific than their nukes..."
Biden did not specify what the US action towards Iran would entail. But given that Washington has repeatedly violated international laws forbidding the mere verbalizing of aggression by threatening that "all options are on the table" with regard to Iran, the US action could mean a military response. Or it could mean the US blocking the lifting of economic sanctions as part of the international nuclear accord signed last July with Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers.
For its part, Iran said that the missiles tested this week were for conventional, non-nuclear warheads. Tehran rejected US claims that it had violated the P5+1 nuclear accord, which mandates that Iran foregoes any nuclear weapons development. Iran saysit has the right to develop all conventional weapons for defensive purposes. Given that Israel actually does possess nuclear missiles and, like the US, has illegally threatened Iran on countless occasions with pre-emptive military strikes, one could reasonably expect Iran to develop long-range missiles for defense.
Comment: Indeed it looks like there are the rumblings of a new nuclear arms race and Washington is again chasing its tail. There are globally more than enough nuclear warheads to go around and obliterate us all to kingdom come...so the reasoning is: let's redesign them more bigger better? Who wins has always been the question. Test bans and non-proliferation agreements have to be equal and universal to work, no exemptions.
One has to ask if a non-compliant Israel, with over 300 (some say 400) nuclear warheads, isn't the US' nuclear ace in the hole -- the reason for this dysfunctional partnership, and in-part why the US submits to Israeli demands and abuse.
