JERUSALEM—The red line drawn by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran’s nuclear program has been rendered obsolete by technology, according to Israeli officials who are pushing for a concerted new effort to block Iran’s possible acquisition of nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu warned in his address to the United Nations General Assembly last year that if Iran enriches 250 kilograms of uranium to a level of 20 percent it would be in position to make a secret dash for nuclear weapon production before the international community could stop it. Netanyahu then hinted at Israeli military action if Iran tried it.
Although Iran indeed slowed its enrichment program following his talk—it has today 170 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20 percent—Israeli officials have told Ha’aretz that in recent months the Iranians have found a way to circumvent Netanyahu’s red line.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported last month that Iran has installed 1,000 new generation centrifuges at its Natanz nuclear installation. The devices have greater enrichment efficiency, the Israeli officials say, and could produce enriched uranium four or five times faster than older centrifuges.
This would permit them to skip the 20 percent stage and enrich uranium rapidly from 3.5 percent to 90 percent, which is weapons-grade level. Thus Tehran’s hints about being flexible about its 20 percent stockpile are meaningless, they say, because it could reach nuclear capability without going through that intermediate stage.

Hey wait!!! I just read that John F’in was over there giving them a Monica and was going to halt them from any further development.
If you cannot believe John F’in who can you believe.
And his Purple Heart.
Israel finds itself alone. The wily mullah charm offensive and the diplomatic charade are being eagerly embraced by the media. Netanyahu knows that Obama will never attack Iran. If Israel attacks, they will suffer a devastating counterattack from the Iranian short range mobile ballistic missiles positioned in Syria. It was not for nothing that Iran became the ally of Syria. The mullahs will have their nuclear weapons within a year. Israel faces the worst strategic crisis of its existence.
True he man was seriously wounded 3 times and once they couldn’t find a band aid to stop the bleeding it had to produce a scab itself.
So what they can’t deliver a bomb if they get one anyway.

I think they have been working on that too:

Delivery could be a boat in a harbor. Delivery could be via a truck. Delivery could be via commercial jet.
Remember that close is all that counts with a nuke.
Thanks Nachum.

Hey Joe Biden in the debates said “who cares if they get nukes, they can’t deliver them.” and he won so, I think we should all by shotguns.
Joe Biden said in the debates that they had no way.
No one remembers the vp debates?
