A British think tank is warning that a military attack against Iran could speed Tehran’s development of nuclear weapons. The Oxford Research Group says that Iran would likely respond to any attack by launching a “crash program” to build a crude nuclear device within months. The report states, “In the aftermath of an attack, it is likely that popular support for an Iranian nuclear weapon capability would increase; bolstering the position of hardliners and strengthening arguments that Iran must possess a nuclear deterrent.”
