Iran was closer to developing nuclear weapons than was previously thought

Thanks to President Barack Hussein Obama, the world’s largest state sponsor of terror came thisclose to going nuclear. Thanks to President Obama, the world is an infinitely more dangerous place.

The January raid on a Tehran warehouse along with satellite imagery “conclusively shows that the Parchin site did house high explosive chambers capable for use in nuclear weapons research and development.”

Think tank: Iran was closer to nukes than we thought

by Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, October 24, 2018:

Iran was closer to developing nuclear weapons than previously thought, according to a think tank report issued late Tuesday.

A report by the Institute for Science and International Security said that combining new information produced by the Mossad during its January raid on a Tehran warehouse along with satellite imagery “conclusively shows that the Parchin site did house high explosive chambers capable for use in nuclear weapons research and development.”

While the focus of the report is Iran’s activities up until 2003, the premise of the report and of the documents which the Mossad appropriated from a site in Tehran (which had not been disclosed to the IAEA) is that the tests performed mean Iran could be capable of building a weapon faster than previously thought.

There are unending debates about whether the Islamic Republic is currently around 12 months or closer to six months from being able to produce a nuclear bomb, if it chose to do so.

Iran has already overcome some of the obstacles to building a bomb which experts thought it had not yet overcome, based on the new report. This would shorten the countdown number.

Moreover, the report implies that based on photos from the Mossad appropriated documents, Iran has not accounted for complex equipment that would be used for the process of developing a nuclear weapon – meaning the IAEA should be confronting Tehran about where and whether it is hiding it.

The report, authored by the think tank’s director David Albright, by former IAEA Deputy Director General Olli Heinonen and other top experts, said, “The additional evidence specifically mentions explosions and radioactivity at the Parchin site, and this information far more vividly establishes Iran’s nuclear weapons-related activities there.”

The report said that the Mossad-obtained “nuclear archive shows that Iran conducted at Parchin more high explosive tests related to nuclear weapons development than previously thought…this work appears to have involved more than what the IAEA called feasibility and scientific studies,” as the IAEA asserted in a December 2015 report.

In addition, “the information highlights dual-use, controlled equipment used at the site, such as a flash x-ray system utilizing a Marx generator and a variety of neutron measurement equipment, with electronics, designed to monitor high speed, explosively driven tests of a neutron source commonly used in a nuclear weapon.”

Dems were paid by Iranian lobbyists to support Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

And their holdovers still support it. Hillary would have allowed them to build one or gift a few for few Millions into her “charity”

NO Muslim country should ever be allowed to have nuclear weapons, for the good of the world!

The Parchin site was bombed by Israel a few years ago
– no radar detection, no Iranian response
– just huge secondary explosions from explosives stored at the Parchin site
– clearly, the war against Iran has already begun
– and with the F-35, Israel can strike at will
– in Syria and in Iran

I remember when P.M. Netanyahu presented to Congress about how CLOSE Iran was and it didn’t phase them.
I also have no doubt that the EU will be unphased by this. The EU is putting together a work around to get around Trump sanctions. The EU is determined to do business with Iran.

Parchin is primarily tasked with making plutonium bomb triggers
– in WWII, the Nagasaki bomb [Fat Man] was a plutonium bomb
– Russians stole the plans, and now all the tyrants make plutonium bombs
– it has a softball sized lump of highly radioactive plutonium
– that is close to criticality [blowing up] but not quite
– because the atoms were not close enough together
– so to make it blow, they made an explosive jacket around it
– the jacket blows inwards, and squeezes the plutonium enough
– to cause radioactive chain reactions that disintegrate the plutonium
– and the thing blows
– Iran has been making nuclear bomb triggers for years at Parchin
– while the IAEA looked the other way
– and those triggers are only used for plutonium bombs
– so the IAEA are numbskulls

If true then the IAEA must face charges of collusion.

I always said the Negro might make you lose your next war. Whether with China (thanks Bull Clinton – you should be hanged) Russia or Iran.

It is my belief practically any Demoncrap would love to see America go up in FLAMES. They don’t hide their hatred either so I don’t know how they keep getting elected to hold your seats of power.

You must want to DIE too.

Bibi, just take them out already.
Civilian nuke sites. Military nuke sites. missile sites.

don’t wait.
