VIENNA—Iran has sharply increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in recent weeks, according to a confidential United Nations report, as Tehran amasses a critical raw material for atomic weapons.
The increase in Iran’s holdings of uranium enriched to 60%, or nearly weapons grade, gives it enough to produce six nuclear weapons.
Iran is now producing enough fissile material in a month for one nuclear weapon, according to the report, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Iran has had enough material to make a working device for some time.
and Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.
As they have been saying for ages….the issue is the delivery system.
Getting the materials to implode on a target is the key. I guess you could make a bomb and deliver it in a truck or ship. But it is likely that the radiation coming from it would be noticeable from a distance.
Certainly, Iranian missile tech is not at the stage to deliver this kind of weapon.
I would be most concerned with some type of dirty bomb delivered in a container.
In any event, it appears that the increased stories about this stuff portend an attack by Israel or the US. My concern there is that a bunker buster bomb is going to create a dirty bomb effect in some Iranian city. That kind of mistake would backfire on Israel.
More warmongering from the WSJ. Iran does not want a nuke! WSJ is just another Never Trumper neocon rag trying sell weapons for its MIC masters.
Trump will broker an Israeli/Iranian deal. The WSJ can’t accept that prospect.
in recent weeks,
Blaming Trump.
Six Nuclear Weapons
1. Tel Aviv
2. Tel Aviv - just to be sure
3. Rome
4. Rome - just to be sure
5. NYC
6. Chicago
Gee, thanks, Obama.
I’ll bet Mossad has an eyeball on this, shouldn’t be long now.
I suspect you are right. I also suspect the Iranian facilities are so far underground that even a bunker-buster bomb wouldn't destroy them.
Why, they wouldn't take one if you gave it to them! They just want to focus on more conventional explosive devices.
Weapons-grade uranium is at least 90%-enriched U-235.
Tel Aviv is the only one in range...maybe.
Their short range missiles don’t have the capacity to lift a warhead.
If an Iranian leader has the bomb and doesn’t immediately use it, he’ll likely be murdered and replaced by someone who will use it. The anti Israeli and American propaganda has created a beast even the creators can’t manage.
60% will not go boom. Cannot.
“...and Saddam has weapons of mass destruction...
You’re right, he did. And he used them.

Well, lets give them a 7th, special delivery, and watch them all go off together.
