It's not even a concession when Iran has been saying for decades it doesn't want nukes. We may not like or agree with that stance but that has been their documented stance for a long time, and it's not even possible to say that was just rhetorical posturing because if they really wanted to they would have had both means and ample opportunity (as well as justification and motivation following the repeated unprovoked Anglo-Zionist attacks) to build nuclear weapons.

I sometimes wonder if they think they simply don't need them to fight nukes. China and allies have cheap, effective drones and hypersonic missiles that the US doesn't and cannot have, along with other possible stuff we're not aware of. Maybe they're confident in their ability to intercept possible nukes.
