Description:

Israel has been ramping up pressure on Donald Trump for the US to join its strikes on Iran.

It’s believed that only the US has the bombs that could destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities hidden deep underground. 

But does the Iranian regime actually have the nuclear capability the Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu says it does and was it really close to building a bomb?

Today, nuclear weapons expert Ben Zala from Monash University on Iran’s nuclear program and whether Israel really needed to strike now.
