Saturday's front page of Iran's hardline Vatan-e Emrooz: "The World Has Become More Nuclear," over a mushroom cloud whose stem turns into Trump's hair.

The question is how Iranian officials will henceforth calculate the relationship between "nuclear capability" and "national survival."

The core argument: if a nuclear deal can be scrapped when the US administration changes, then for Tehran "latent capability is not enough; the only thing that makes an enemy cautious is a ready weapon."

And if Tehran concludes it was attacked without even having a bomb, that strengthens those in the political establishment who have long argued that restraining the nuclear program does not guarantee the country's security.

The daily hedges, too. The piece says none of this "means Iran has decided to build a bomb" and that the final call rests on the regime's political calculations.
