The strikes on Iran's nuclear program may not have been as successful as hoped according to this article. If this assessment is valid, Iran may have things up and running again within a year.

Example no. 300 that air strikes alone aren't a deterrent or enough to end a weapons program. Assuming that article is in the ballpark of accurate.

Fair but I don't think we know yet. Iran admitted it was badly damaged though after declaring victory for days... The CIA is now saying it set them back years.
The NATO chief praised Trump's actions today so I think that assessment above is probably not right but who knows. I mean I think we need to wait and see
I'm sure there is a point to be made about airstrikes alone aren't enough but like I also said Trump didn't want us getting into another endless war and he was trying to make a statement

As long as they still have the fissile material and institutional knowledge the risk remains. The āhardā part of enriching uranium is already done by public accounts from IAEA. Centrifuges for that type of thing are small and donāt cost much per unit to continue plugging away.
Iran hedged themselves a bit post stuxnet and are probably positioned well to retain the institutional knowledge. Diplomacy is the only way forward realistically.
