Bibi's been saying that Iran is months away from a nuclear weapon since the early 90's, possibly the late 80's.
I haven't listened to the episode yet, but it strikes me as a bit of a reach. I suspect it's more that Venezuela was a vulnerable adversary and knocking out the unpopular dictator serves several different objectives.
I expect there will be American companies getting new lucrative oil deals down there.
More oil supply will bring down domestic energy and gas prices, which alleviates the affordability crisis.
Lower oil prices also put more pressure on Russia to get a peace deal done and, yes, weakens Iran and the other Gulf states.
