Iran’s nuclear timetable … right now!
Worldnet Daily ^ | 6 Sep 2016 | Jerome Corsi

NEW YORK – Amid the disclosure this week that the Obama administration has allowed Iran to continue secret efforts to enrich uranium and stockpile the heavy water needed to produce a plutonium nuclear weapon, a leading expert on the Iranian nuclear program remains concerned that Tehran could build a deliverable atomic bomb now.

“I believe Iran already has a nuclear weapons capability,” Clare Lopez, a former CIA career operations officer who serves as the vice president for research and analysis at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy and a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, told WND.

Lopez noted that five years ago the International Atomic Energy Agency published a report on Iran’s nuclear program that listed the various technical components in a nuclear weapon that Iran had under development.

“We know for a fact that Iran already has the nuclear-capable missiles, including nose cones configured to carry nuclear weapons,” she said. “We also know that the IAEA years ago reported that Iran was working on forming the hemispheres of a bomb, as well as experiments testing the explosive charges required to set off a nuclear reaction implosion sequence.”

Iran and North Korea are full partners in nuclear bomb and ballistic missile technology so whatever NK has, Iran has.

Thanks to Obama and Clinton's games with the Saudis, Qatar and the Saudi and Qatar funded ISIS mercenaries Syria, Iraq and Libya, Russia recently began upgrading the North Koreans nuclear weapons technology as a counter balance and implicit threat to Obama, the Saudis , Qatar and ISIS that Russia was willing to use North Korea as a cut out to arm Iran with nukes.

Obama’s Iran Deal was a disaster.

5.6 equates to kilotons of energy per UCLA.

http://www.english.ucla.edu/all-faculty/335-kelly-kiloton-index-of-earthquake-moment-magnitudes

Not necessarily an actual yield though , I guess.

Do the tables reflect the cubing of the force of an actual explosion? For example the table gives 90kt for 5.3 (which I believe is what they’re calling it now). That works out to 22.5kt. That’s going to be close to what the Russians calculated before, based on 5.1 figures from a previous test by NK this year. There are other factors, I guess, plus the usual margin or error. A respectable nuke by anyone’s standard, and capable of killing hundreds of thousands.

...why in hell is this table on the UCLA *ENGLISH* Department's webpage?

English version of ucla’s website, I suspect. Like the English Wikipedia site.

I am thinking that North Korea has just tested Iran’s latest nuke design—successfully.

The Hiroshima bomb had a yield of 16 kilotons, for our reference.

I am thinking the same thing. I think Iran and North Korea are collaborating on nukes.

Barring a dramatic upwards change in U.S. policy and world events, I predict there will be a nuclear terrorist event on U.S. soil within the next half decade.

I pray to God I'm wrong. But I don't think I am.

And when it happens, the device is going to have Obama's, Hillary's and Kerry's names on it.

collaboration, and intentionally wrecking the US Military, setting up a terrorist network in the US, so that the Iranian Empire will be the new superpower.
Nah, it can be...who’s playing this Sunday .......
