Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons following U.S. and Israeli strikes, stating Tehran is afraid after feeling "the might of America and Israel."

Iran remains 'obsessed' with building nuclear deterrent despite damage incurred from U.S. strikes last month, but suggests its still open to negotiation in a move that one expert warns is a ploy to buy time.

Some experts said they believe the U.S. strikes have the potential to lead to a "fork-in-the-road" moment that could result in Tehran taking an even more dangerous path.
