Could the US-Israel war on Iran trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East?

Justifying the US-Israel war on Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Iran was on the verge of producing a nuclear weapon within a very short time. Tehran has insisted for years that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only. The US-Israel air strikes on Iran came despite ongoing negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear future, derailing a potential peaceful solution. Meanwhile, Israel’s nuclear capabilities have long been considered an open secret, though Tel Aviv has never officially confirmed or denied possessing nuclear weapons. As the confrontation grinds on and Iran continues to hold firm, many are questioning whether Israel could deploy its alleged nuclear weapons. And if the conflict ends, would Iran have grounds to build its own nuclear arsenal?
