Iran can now build and deliver nukes, US intel reports
Times of Israel ^ | January 31, 2014 | By Marissa Newman

Posted on 01/31/2014 1:18:09 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Iran now has all the technical infrastructure to produce nuclear weapons should it make the political decision to do, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wrote in a report to a Senate intelligence committee published Wednesday. However, he added, it could not break out to the bomb without being detected.

In the “US Intelligence Worldwide Threat Assessment,” delivered to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Clapper reported that Tehran has made significant advances recently in its nuclear program to the point where it could produce and deliver nuclear bombs should it be so inclined.

“Tehran has made technical progress in a number of areas — including uranium enrichment, nuclear reactors, and ballistic missiles — from which it could draw if it decided to build missile-deliverable nuclear weapons,” Clapper wrote. “These technical advancements strengthen our assessment that Iran has the scientific, technical, and industrial capacity to eventually produce nuclear weapons. This makes the central issue its political will to do so.”

In the past year alone, the report states, Iran has enhanced its centrifuge designs, increased the number of centrifuges, and amassed a larger quantity of low-enriched uranium hexafluoride. These advancements have placed Iran in a better position to produce weapons-grade uranium. . .

The military better remove 'Obama' before he opens the door to Iranian warships so they can NUKE our coastline or EMP us.

SOEBARKAH (aka ‘Obama’) is NOT BLACK.

He’s most likely a muslim from Indonesia.

He’s a plant by IRAN or PAKISTAN or __________.

Try running an Indonesian moslem with NO I.D. for president.

Then, try running the historic ‘1ST BLACK PRESIDENT.’

Given that Obama has said “back-channel” that the USA will at least tip off Iran regarding a strike, if not actively engage Israeli aircraft, what is Israel to do?

Iran isn’t ‘building and delivering’ anything.

Obamatollah is SUPPLYING the nuke/EMP that ‘Iran’ will use to nuke CONUS.

I hope to hell US military is on top of this!

That’s impossible. W Bush and Zero told us they would never allow this to occur.

Maybe Israel shouldn’t list to coke heads.

“...We need some of those...”

We have all the tools we need, but not the determination to use them.

with those facts in hand, Obama and Kerry decided to give the theocrats the chance to do just that, without sanctions and - like North Korea - with the theocrats pretending all the time they are not doing just that

the theocrats got the diplomatic success they wanted, and time enough to compete their plans before anyone is thinking to reimpose sanctions again

There were several reports that Obama threatens war against any nation that dares try to remove the Iranian IslamoNazi nuclear missile factories.
(Whether that nation be Israel or the Arabs or anyone else...)
and
Obama “leaked” the intelligence about the attack plans for a couple of such ameliorative efforts already, thereby seriously compromising them to the point that their sponsoring nations felt they could not prudently, safely proceed.

In short, Obama has been protecting those IslamoNazi nuke bomb factories... The several threatened countries who (since Obama obviously isn’t going to do it...) ... were ready to take out those dangerous missiles. But for... the threat of USAF trying to shoot down their planes or possibly attack their own cities and towns back home.

The problem is not in Jerusalem, or Mecca, or New Delhi, in any other place outside WashDC.

I hope the US military does something about this before a bunch of Americans get nuked.

Yes, it is.

Israel needs to realize that it has no friends, and only enemies very sadly.

Kind of shocking that Israel just sits back and watches.

Between the underground site hardening and the influx of advanced Russian AA equipment, they must have concluded that they just couldn't do it.

Yeah, but with those 7,000 mph missiles, we could blow up the Iranian stuff before it got 100 feet off the ground!

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that the Obungler really IS God's curse on America. He is actively protecting an evil Muslim regime, so they can finish their nuclear weapons program. What kind of evil scum bag would do this?
