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.

"Who was that guy who was practically thrown out of Iran who went there to inspect facilities"

As far back as 2005, almost 20 years ago, Mohamed Elbaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was complaining about Iran blocking inspectors in the country. Fast forward to today, and they're still doing it. In other instances, they've cancelled the accreditation of inspectors. And despite all that, Obama and Biden have given the Iran regime, billions of dollars that wasn't even legally theirs. They weren't in power when the Shah of Iran paid that money to the U.S. for military equipment. The militants who overthrew the Shah and took over the country have no legal right to that money, as far as I'm concerned. It wasn't theirs to begin with.

I’ve been hearing this “6 months away” for 20+ years now. Do they think we can’t count, or something?

Maybe they have built 20 of them by now or something. Maybe they left that part out. For all that, why don’t they just purchase them? Various US administrations have transferred considerable cash and bullion over the years.

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

It is very deep under a mountain. It is believed an American bunker buster will not get the job done. A large enough nuke would do it, but that would almost certainly mean the destruction of tiny Israel.

::Scott Ritter?::

YES - I almost had it but it kept slipping away. Thank you. I knew there was an -S- and an -R- but I couldn’t join them up.

Maybe I connected him to the nuclear inspection team in Iran in error. Don’t know why I made that connection but you evidently read my mind. I only knew I liked him - he was a Marine!!!

Rinse and repeat. The news media should just recycle their old articles, because nothing changes.

I have read a good analysis of this and they are not even close on anything.

The Iranians won’t use one unless they can find a way to make it look like the Saudis did it.

That sounds reasonable until you look at their history and realize that the biggest danger to any Muslim is another Muslim.

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Scott Ritter the UNSCOM inspector who was an inspector in Iraq, not Iran?

He was a marine, has a Russian wife, and he was caught trying to solicit sex from a minor. Showed up to Burger King expecting to see a young girl to play with...
