Iran threatens to make weapons-grade uranium with tech banned by nuclear deal
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 07, 2019 12:34 PM | Tim Pearce

Iran is using advanced centrifuges banned under the 2015 nuclear deal to enrich uranium faster and well past limits set in the deal.

Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, unveiled the Islamic country’s newest capabilities in a press conference on Saturday, according to the Associated Press. Kamalvandi addressed reporters while standing in front of 20 IR-6 centrifuges and 20 IR-4 centrifuges.

"Under current circumstances, the Islamic Republic of Iran is capable of increasing its enriched uranium stockpile as well as its enrichment levels and that is not just limited to 20%," Kamalvandi said. "We are capable inside the country to increase the enrichment much more beyond that."

Under the nuclear deal, Iran was limited to using just IR-1 centrifuges to enrich uranium. The more advanced iterations of centrifuges can enrich uranium at a much faster rate: 10 times faster for the IR-6s and five times faster for the IR-4s, according to Iranian officials.

The new centrifuges will likely shorten the one-year time frame experts had said Iran needs to be able to obtain enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear bomb.

Kamalvandi said that Iran "is not after the bomb" but warned that "if Europeans want to make any decision, they should do it soon." Several European countries are attempting to strike another deal with Iran after President Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear treaty in 2018.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper of the United States said Iran's announcement was predictable, telling reporters at a press conference, "The Iranians are going to pursue what the Iranians have always intended to pursue."

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama was a terrific agent for Iran.

[Well we’re not mentioned in the Bible]

Certainly don’t seem to figure prominently enough. I disagree with Irvin Baxter thinking we’re gonna rescue Israel (fleeing the Antichrist). There simply won’t be time.

He has also told the Jews to head to Jerusalem - I think that’s totally wrong. He does recognize Petra in Jordan and says flee there (which is correct and the only place to go) too (depending upon which day you catch him).

[young lions]

I think it IS possible we’re one of the young lions. Dunno

Dude just bought another house not too long ago. $15 million dollars.

Didn’t they buy one in Hawaii? And Wash D.C.? Do they still own the one in Chicago?

Sure got a lot of cash going around.

Maybe he won Powerball. But I don’t think so.

WASHINGTON — With Donald J. Trump rallying at the Capitol Wednesday against President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, Hillary Rodham Clinton embraced the agreement a short distance away. But she warned it would work only “as part of a larger strategy toward Iran” that contained Tehran’s power in the region as sanctions are lifted.
Mrs. Clinton’s speech, at the Brookings Institution, amounted to a strong endorsement of the deal struck by President Obama and her successor as secretary of state, John Kerry, though one laced with skepticism about Iran’s intentions.

“Diplomacy is not the pursuit of perfection — it is the balancing of risk,” she said, arguing that the risks of walking away from a deal that she helped shape would turn the United States, not Iran, into the international outlier.

She was working against any Iran deal that didn’t give them everyuthijng they needed to become nulear long before Kerry got into it.

During an impromptu press conference Thursday afternoon, President Trump addressed negotiations with Iran, saying “I’d like to see them call me.” Trump also accused former Secretary of State John Kerry of telling the Iranians not to negotiate. Kerry led negotiations with Iran during the Obama administration that culminated in the nuclear deal that the Trump administration withdrew the U.S. from.

“John Kerry tells them not to call,” Trump said. “But John Kerry violated the Logan Act. He’s talking to Iran and has been, has many meetings and many phone calls. And he’s telling them what to do.”

Yeah 15M one The Hamptons.

Mansion in DC. With a giant ironic wall.

I think the official word is net worth $140M

So he’s gotta have many times that in the Cayman islands.

Doing pretty well for himself for someone who has not done an honest day’s work in his life.

Probably bought a truckload of Michelle’s book cause it just came in as second in bestsellers list

Bumped Judge Jeanine’s to # 3...

I’d like to think we’re the young lions. Petra is a given. We’re on the cusp of something big and dangerous that is certain.I’d like to see the rapture pre Ezekiel but there’s differing versions of that also. God’s timing, not ours but we should know the signs of the times.

[I think the official word is net worth $140M]

Pretty impressive for a guy who made $400,000/yr for 8 years.

It’s almost as if something crooke........

[Doing pretty well for himself for someone who has not done an honest day’s work in his life.]

That’s for sure. Professional liar pays well, apparently.

Yep, dunno with regards to Ezek 38 and the harpazo event.

Be interesting to see if a peace deal is put forth after Sept. 17 elections.

They’re always putting together peace deals and failing.One side has the land, the other has the peace. Nothing will change without a really bad prophetic war. That’s how I interpret anyway. God only knows His timing

We will certainly see how it all plays out, FRiend.

Hopefully from on high, with the Lord. :)
