Recent evaluations have highlighted that while attacks executed by the United States and Israel have inflicted considerable damage to Iran's nuclear facilities, they have not succeeded in stopping the country's nuclear ambitions. Matias Spektor, a professor at the Fundação Getúlio Vargas, emphasized that these operations have undoubtedly slowed down Iran's nuclear program, yet they have not eradicated it entirely. He reiterated that although some enrichment plants may have been targeted and destroyed, the essence of the nuclear program remains intact.

Further insights from nuclear physicist Marco Antônio Saraiva Marzo, who serves as the secretary of Brazil's Nuclear Materials Control Agency (ABACC), suggest that the personnel who possess critical knowledge and technical expertise in developing Iran's nuclear capabilities continue to exist. This reality poses a long-term challenge to the international community's efforts to curb Iran's nuclear advancements, as the destruction of physical facilities does not equate to eliminating the underlying know-how and scientific community.

Additionally, experts pointed out that Iran's possession of 408 kilograms of uranium raises concerns about the potential for hidden reserves. The possibility of this uranium being concealed or transported in small containers adds a layer of complexity to monitoring and enforcing nuclear non-proliferation measures. The situation remains tense as strategists analyze the implications of these developments for regional and global security.
