UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran could again begin enriching uranium in ‘matter of months’

The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium “in a matter of months,” contradicting President Donald Trump’s claims the US set Tehran’s ambitions back by decades.

Rafael Grossi’s comments appear to support an early assessment from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, first reported on by CNN, which suggests the United States’ strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites last week did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program, and likely only set it back by months.

While the final military and intelligence assessment has yet to come, Trump has repeatedly claimed to have “completely and totally obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear program.

Why would the head of a nuclear watchdog group assume Iran’s motives were peaceful when they won’t allow them to see for themselves? He’s either an idiot, or part of the deception.

He's leaving out a few pieces like...so if they start it again...how long will it take to get to the point they were at....

In other words...his assessment is pointless...

I’m not sure it’s going to make much difference. Trump is about two seconds away from decapitating the regime.

IQ of a turnip.
All the UF6 contamination cleanup alone will take months.
The complex is now breached so dropping another MOP down the pipe is really easy.
Even if they had the parts...which they don’t, and the structure wasn’t breached, it would take several years.

An accounting of the available quantity of enriched uranium and the number and locations of remaining centrifuges is what is in order.

America should leave the UN, and the UN should get out of New York.

“He’s leaving out a few pieces like so if they start it again...how long will it take...to get to the point they were at....”

And the more important one such as: so if they start it again...how long will it take for the US to bomb the crap out of them. Again. Because, the UN should realize this is no longer bush Clinton Obama. It’s not even Regan. Not Johnson Nixon. We don’t mention Carter

We’re back to Ike Where we belong.

Turn the UN HQ into "affordable" housing. All those upper east side elite types will welcome that.

Come to think of it, WHY haven’t they? hmmmm.
