I think it’s more likely this guy is lying.
Iran just bragged about the amount of enriched uranium they have. And about their ability to enrich it further very quickly.
How did they get this material and capability if they are not working towards a bomb.
And given their repeated, and continued statements that they intend to wipe out Israel. And given their support of terrorism. The benefit of the doubt should go against Iran.
The very first thought that crossed my mind.
“See? Obama, Biden, Hillary and Kerry all said we had nothing to worry about. It was that sabre-rattling warmonger Trump that kept trying to rile everyone up with his lies.”
Perhaps they view stockpiles of enriched, not-yet-weaponized uranium as a kind of indirect protection against sovereign-on-sovereign insult, sort of similar to the way Russia has historically viewed their piles of nationally-owned gold bullion.
he is 100% lying.
there are multiple potential whys that are interesting possibilities that require answers
