The pic we have now is pretty damn impressive. But it took networking together multiple instruments. I don’t think we have any singular telescope nearly powerful enough to capture such an image.

No its too small. The EHT is essentially multiple telescopes acting as one huge telescope the size of the earth, the james webb isnt that big

Even though black holes are really massive, they're super tiny. That's kinda what makes them black holes. All of their mass is concentrated in a tiny spot, which makes the strength of gravity nearby so strong that nothing can resist it.

Black holes are too small, JWST doesn't have anywhere near the optical resolution to take a picture of one.

The Event Horizon Telescope has an effective angular resolution about 1000 times better than JWST.

maybe some close interactions with another larger objects, but not like EHT

The black hole sucks up any light and so none comes to us to make a picture. ??
