Iran said Saturday it plans to enrich uranium up to 20% at its underground Fordo nuclear facility “as soon as possible,” pushing its program a technical step away from weapons-grade levels as it increases pressure on the West over the tattered atomic deal.

Trump is too smart to back off from the pressure, like his predecessor did.

[CatOwner]

Sounds like Iran is convinced Trump won’t be POTUS in three weeks.

[HighSierra5]

You got that right. It’s gonna be a dark winter. Those are the words of sock puppet Joe.

[VeniVidiVici]

The feckless Democrat Uncle Joe will allow Iran to get nukes.

Not to worry. Biden really is powerless and doesn’t reallly matter.

The coalition of Israel, Saud Arabia, and the UAE with Egypt thrown in as an unmentioned kicker are the controlling factor of Iranian Nuclear production.

Biden can eliminate sanctions. He fan remove the F-22’s from Saudi Arabia but he cannot remove covertIsraeli and Saudi boots on the ground in Iran. It is those covert boots that are the reason there was no Iran nuclear bomb within the predicted 24 months of the Bush administration

My hope is that Trump will order an attack on Iranian facitlties before he vacates the office. Leaving Biden with a war is justified retribution

Of course, because one of the people controlling the strings on Joe and the Ho, is a Muzzie called O’bomination.

There won’t be a war. The Iranians are barely able to feed their own population. Fighting a war would create a literal famine. The beauty of large scale cruise missile barrages launched from B-52’s outside Iranian airspace is the Iranians lack the cash to rebuild.

I have seen some stuff on alt sites that Israel is preparing to attack Iran any day now. Could be a reason for Pence’s cancelled trip.

All the ‘makins’ were sold to these people by Hillary during the Obama maladministration. Remember that!

Generally, weapons grade fissile material is about 93% enriched, but:
FYI, people: 20% enriched U-235 is sufficient to create a bomb that will ignite an uncontrolled chain reaction, if the right bomb geometry is used and if you are willing to accept a larger bomb that may be delivered by train or ship, instead of a missile or aircraft!

[Vaduz]

Hillary makes phone call I have a place in Canada lets make a deal.

[VeniVidiVici]

My hope is that you are right

[Vinnie]

Generally, weapons grade fissile material is about 93% enriched, but...

IIRC to enriching to 5-20% is the time consuming part.
Enriching up to weapons grade is much faster.
