Iran can make fissile material for a bomb ‘in about 12 days’ – US official

The disgraceful Biden Administration scrapped President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign against Iran, and replaced it with maximum appeasement. This is the result. The only question is when will Israel bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities? Not much longer.

Iran can make fissile material for a bomb ‘in about 12 days’ – US official

Story continues below advertisement

While US officials say Iran has grown closer to producing fissile material, they do not believe it has mastered the technology to actually build a bomb.

By Jerusalem Post, Feb 28th, 2023

Iran could make enough fissile for one nuclear bomb in “about 12 days,” a top US Defense Department official said on Tuesday, down from the estimated one year it would have taken while the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was in effect.

Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl made the comment to a House of Representatives hearing when pressed by a Republican lawmaker why the Biden administration had sought to revive the deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Trump recklessly abandoned the pact as it was a major Obama achievement. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. Trump’s decision to abandon the pact has sparked a global crisis and increased the prospect of war and pushed Iran closer to developing a nuclear weapon.

It was condemned by US allies. Before Trump withdrew from the deal, Iran’s breakout time to a nuclear weapon was roughly a year. But it’s now closer to just a few weeks.

Do you think they would agree with Trump and he knew it. They hated Trump as they do Israel. Don’t be naive. They like Biden and they’re still doing it with no agreement!

Oh, bu//sh/t. Considering their history and well documented hatred for all things American and Israeli, do you honestly believe Iran was ever going to give up getting nukes? Their entire world view is to ‘wipe Israel off the map,” and “Death to America” and they have not tried to hide it.

• IAEA 60 percent suffices to create a relatively compact nuclear explosive; further enrichment to 80 or 90 percent is not needed”. A common fallacy is Iran would require 90 percent HEU, more commonly called weapon-grade uranium, to build nuclear explosives. Although Iran’s nuclear weapons designs have focused on 90 percent HEU and likely prefer that enrichment, modifying them for 60 percent HEU would be straightforward and well within Iran’s capabilities. 60 percent suffices to create a relatively compact nuclear explosive; further enrichment to 80 or 90 percent is not needed. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 41.7 kg of 60 percent enriched uranium (uranium mass) is a significant quantity, which the IAEA defines as the “approximate amount of nuclear material for which the possibility of manufacturing a nuclear explosive. Will any news service report the truth ? SEE INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ONLINE REPORT “Entering Dangerous, Uncharted Waters: Iran’s 60 Percent Highly Enriched Uranium By David Albright and Sarah Burkhard April 11, 2022”
• Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency 2023, United Nations’ top nuclear official, Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to build “several” nuclear weapons if it chooses,

Amad Plan Revival
Iran could revive and complete the Amad Plan, creating an industrial-scale nuclear weapons production complex able to serially produce nuclear warheads for ballistic missiles and perhaps cruise missiles. The Amad Plan was well structured, with hundreds of well-defined tasks, each with a schedule, along with careful tracking of progress and shortcomings of each task. By late 2003, and the halt of the Amad Plan, most tasks associated with nuclear weaponization were completed or well on their way to completion, the organizational hierarchy was set, needed physical infrastructure mapped out, and large-scale facilities designed or under construction.
• Iran threatens the world with a program ready to produce nuclear weapons “on-demand.” Its readiness program poses a difficult challenge to the international community and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
• Due to its past, large-scale nuclear weapons program, called the Amad Plan, Iran has a readiness program with less need for secret nuclear weapon development activities. Iran has advanced its nuclear weapons readiness under civilian nuclear and military non-nuclear cover projects. Using a civilian cover, Iran has in recent years successfully produced highly enriched uranium (HEU) and near HEU metal.

One of the reasons that this hostile Islamic regime of Iran create the fissile material for the construction of nuclear bombs within about twelve days is because of that pseudo “president” Biden who is very disingenuous and an outright liar ,still in spite of all the facts about how awful that hostile that tyrannically Islamic regime of Iran is , Biden still wants gives that that so-called “deal” to made with that aggressive and vicious Islamic tyranny then he is ,indeed , a treasonous villain of the most evil sort.

For that demonically ambitious and sinister jihad –minded Muslims who have all the power in that hostile and menacing Islamic regime of Iran will continue in the unreasoning Islamic quest in the manufacture and construction of nuclear weapons. Therefore any so called “negotiation” with the officials of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran is a complete and total waste of time and effort.

For those disingenuous and outright lying officials of that aggressive, brutal and deceptive tyrannical Islamic state will only speak the truth only then it happens to suite them. Likewise, those in control and power in that “mullah tyranny” of Iran will only keep any of the promises they many happen to make only as long as it would suite them and no longer.

Furthermore, that fiendish President of Iran ,Raisi in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran it’s now a rather appropriate time to bring out the fact that if the founder of the current Islamic tyranny ,Ayatollah Khomeini would still be alive today ,he would spit on Joe Biden.

The reason is that Biden had publicly declared and claimed, “Islam is a non-violent religion” In other words he said that “Islam is not a religion of violence.”

Pseudo President Biden is a liar and the Muslim clerics of Iran know that.

For as Ayatollah Khomeini had clearly announced that “Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….There are hundreds psalms and hadiths urging of Muslims to value war and to fight. …I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]

There are also many places in the Qu ‘ran that instruct in violence and killing for the cause of Islam.

As found in ,for example Surah 2:191. 4:89.. 5:33. 9:5, 111,112 ,123. 47:4.

Therefore if Khomeini alive and well in this year of 2023 he would spit upon Joe Biden.

One of the reasons that “mullah regime” of Iran might obtain the materials to construct a nuclear bomb so soon is Joe Biden strives to give those tyrants on power everything they want.

This is because those of Muslim despots of Iran had actually schemed with others of the Red /Green alliance and had meddled and interfered in the American presidential election by supporting the Biden bid for the Oval Office during the election year of 2020.

For Islamic dictators of Iran well understood how they would be able to manipulate weak and wicked old Joe to be their tool to fulfill their goals.

Likewise, those tyrants in power in Iran now have information about how they aided Biden in his cheating and unethical selfish ambition to get into the Oval Office of the White House and masquerade as a real, genuine US President.

In other words Joe Biden doesn’t want to have this information that those Iranian tyrants have on him to get out to the American people and also the other nations of the world about his despicable and illegal way he because “President.” Call it blackmail on Biden , if you want to , it is very fitting term.

So now in the year 2023 that that “mullah regime” with their stooge and useful idiot to archive they want to obtain on their Islamic agenda.

One of the many reliable sources that will confirm this is the video documentary TRUMP CARD by Dinesh D’ Souza.
