    Iran's nuclear ambitions and military capabilities are at a critical juncture. U.S. officials warn Iran could produce the necessary quantity of enriched uranium to weapons-grade levels within a few weeks, which it could then use to assemble an operational nuclear weapon. With the Middle East's largest ballistic missile arsenal, Iran poses a significant threat to Israel and parts of Europe. Those who call for the U.S. and its allies to stop Iran argue this is a “now or never” moment to stabilize the region and protect global security. Acting now would send a clear message to Iran’s allies, such as Russia and North Korea, that would otherwise test America’s resolve. Those who argue we can tolerate a nuclear Iran say while it’s not ideal, it is manageable. Instead of military intervention, the focus should be on diplomacy and containment, as Iran’s leadership has shown pragmatism in avoiding direct conflict with the U.S. and its allies in the past.
    
    As tensions rise in the Middle East and a new president is soon to lead the U.S., we debate the question: Can America and Its Allies Tolerate a Nuclear Iran, or Is It Time to Stop Them Now?
