UN nuclear chief: Iran ‘weeks, not months’ from enough uranium to make a bomb
Times of Israel ^ | TOI

Posted on 04/23/2024 2:18:52 PM PDT by hardspunned

The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog has said that it would take Iran just weeks to have enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb, and that Tehran’s activity, alongside the limited access it grants to its facilities, “raises eyebrows.”

But International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Mariano Grossi told Deutsche Welle in a report published Monday that attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities should be a “no-go.”

Grossi said that Iran is “weeks rather than months” away from having enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon.

If push comes to shove, they are hours away from deploying the retaliatory nuclear device promised by Pakistan. The NORKS could be involved as well. Weeks, week or now, we have a MAD situation regarding nukes between Israel and Iran.

A bomb, as in one, isn’t going to be enough.

They’ve been saying this since the W. administration. If not before.

Thing is... One of these days it will be true.

Years not months, thanks for the update.

9 days still waiting on the Iranian s trike based off the test run that will never happen.

We’ve been hearing this Cassandra wail for decades now.

Iran has had the bomb for decades.

The North Koreans did a test for them of a type they don’t usually test.

Your Iranian lords worship a god in a well. If they create one nuke, they will be incinerated before they can use it.

The thing about Iranians is they talk a lot. Then they hide behind the idiots in the hills. They haven’t won a war since Xerses.

No one should be worried about Iran.

That’s is exactly what the Iranians would say as well.

Week 0 of the nuke strike that will be happening next week or in weeks yet will never happen.

Why is destroying Iranian nuclear capability a “no-go”?!

Pres Trump has been warning about this, since the installation of Briben!!

Iran was BROKE, under Pres Trump.

Now, under Briben, they're “very rich”, as Pres Trump said, yesterday (in John Fredericks interview).

Pres Trump warned (paraphrasing) ...

Asked if he's concerned about Iran having nuclear weapons ... he said it's a MAJOR concern....and, Had the election not been rigged ... Iran, and, us ... we would've had a deal, already. Everyone would've been happy. They wanted to make a deal. With NO nuclear weapons ... and, they're very close to having them, thanks to Biden. Iran was broke ...

Iran must be the dumbest country in the world when it comes to building a nuclear bomb. That, or they’ve had the bomb for a while now, but are still gaslighting the rest of the world. I think it’s the latter.

Iran ‘weeks, not months’ from enough uranium to make a bomb

Yawn! I stopped at the headline. Been hearing this exact statement for how many years now?

The Iranians are coming out of the woodwork making statements about their nuke capability. The Iranians totally compromised the Israeli air defense and hit their two most protected airfields along with their most important intel facility. The Israeli response, four cheap quadcopters. Talk about raising eyebrows.

The dog that barks is not the one that generally bites.

A lesson that should’ve been heeded with Erdogan.

I really don’t understand all this. Knowledge of how to make a Bomb is known. Iran has been working on this since before Barky was POTUS.
We produced theory and final product in 4 years while literally starting from scratch and while engaging dedicated, smart and well armed enemies around the world.
What is taking Iran so long. Heck even the North Kookoos have done it.

Yes. But the crazy Iranian dictators have made it all too clear that they plan to destroy USA first (with
at least 7 or 8 major cities on their first- priority list for nuclear annihilation).

This is what their long- range ICBM’s are for (they don’t need such missiles to attack the Arabian peninsula or Israel).

The stated goal is to reduce the world's population to 500 million souls.

Do you suppose the other 7½ Billion will go quietly or with a bang?

The mullahs pay you by the word, bub? If Iran does get a nuclear attack capability, it is my fond hope that you and those like you (except your mom) are centered underneath the fireball.
