If the US or Israel attack Iran again, Tehran could produce weapons-grade uranium, says the spokesman for Iran’s parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.
“One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be 90 percent enrichment,” writes Ebrahim Rezaei in a Persian-language post on X. “We will review it in the parliament.”
Iran has enriched uranium to 60%, and could quickly make the leap to 90%.

All the more reason to tighten and intensify the chokehold.

I’m not understanding somehow. Hasn’t Iran’s entire military already been destroyed multiple times? Then why are they still beating their chests and making asinine threats?

That statement does show long term intent if the Mullahs remain in power!

It seems that Iran’s Mullahs don’t really
understand President Trump’s statements.
The Mullahs think they’re messing with a
spineless Democrat. Not anymore...

Because ... 12th Imam Mahdi and all that jive...
Shia (Shiite) Islam Twelfth Imam Mahdi (D-Qom, Iran) (The apocalyptic vision of Iran’s ruling mullahs (clerics and Supreme Leader) is rooted in Twelver Shia eschatology—the dominant branch of Shia Islam in Iran—and centers on actively preparing for and hastening the return of the “Hidden Imam,” or Mahdi (the 12th Imam)The Jamkaran Mosque in Qom, Iran - 12th Imam Mahdi
is in the well behind the Mosque reading
their prayer requests (they believe)
BTW, he's a five (5) year-old-kid; DEAD for 1,150+ years

The mullahs aren’t running the country any more. Iran is a military dictatorship run, to the extent anyone is running it, by the IRGC

Can a US President heading out an international trip order military action? I think this one could.

That’s likely true
I would guess that the IRGC are headed and full of
12th Imam true believers
SOMEBODY wants that Nuclear Weapon
Will they ever get there?
Thank God for President Donald Trump
He has made it a lot more difficult for them

Every thing they do is looked at through a religious lens.
Shia Islam has a built-in persecution complex.
They believe that if they trigger a End of the World scenario, then the 12th Imam will rise up out of a well in Qom and save them with his super powers and destroy all infidels and make them the Supreme Islamic rulers of the World!
How can you negotiate with insane people like them?
You can’t..... ...... 😡

Air Force One represents command and control

They will continue to threaten and attack until disposed of. No half measures this time. This is an upcoming world disaster that must be dealt with.

How do they know it’s not the 13th imam that returns? Or the return of Elvis? Or when my Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl?
