It’s always one or two weeks away.
It makes me wonder if they can do it at all.

From what I’ve read the actual construction is rather straightforward, though the size could be an impediment. Acquiring the critical nuclear material was what took Oppenheimer & Co three years.

Let’s not dare them. I agree that Iranian rumor has been around for a long time but with Obama and Biden money they have the expert help and the labs to someday make this happen.

I would hope Israel would arrange for “accidents” and “fire in the research building” as in the past. Or else we will have election complication of Israel using the bomb Golda Meier considered using way back when.

“In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. When her PM said to authorize the strike Meir told him to “forget it.” Times of Israel.

Whistling past the graveyard. They only say that now because it has already been done and they don’t want us to think they were surprised when they drop the bomb. Iran has been doing this since Clinton was president and if anyone thinks that they haven’t made any progress is hiding their head in the sand. It’s like the way bees make honey: very tiny bits at a time. But after a few million trips of almost undetectable amounts, next time you look they have gallons.

Yes, almost as clockwork as the ooops it’s um October and the federal checkbook needs a massive taxpayer deposit. It’s not because it’s near Christmas and the grandma parade can’t buy her grandchildren presents.
I mean at the end of the day… SS is present money.

Yep... it’s been 1 to 2 weeks away for several years now. I’m surprised Biden doesn’t just give them several nuclear weapons from our stockpile. Would have been cheaper than the billions he’s given them.

Why are the people who have actively funded the Iranian nuclear weapons program and given moral...if not technical support to them, now trying to scare the American public about the threat they helped create? Could it be that they are going to try and sell Joe as the democrats as the only ones to deal with the threat? It is to laugh!!

It doesn't take a very long memory to remember that all of the increased hostility in the world, especially Iran, is courtesy of the Obama/Biden/Democrat/Left wing Media.

I figure they’ve been “one or two weeks away” for at least a decade now.

Producing the fissile material is not the problem. It is overcoming “the klystron problem”. A low grade klystron will work, but it takes a LOT more fissile material and means the bomb must be a LOT larger and heavier.

A klystron is the “heart” of a weapon, and the more accurately it can detonate the explosive that blast the fissile material together, the larger the yield of the blast.

This matters because the bomb must be moved to its target, and very few missiles, for example, can carry 5 tons of payload (10,000 lbs).

And then there is the Overkill problem. Most people misunderstand Overkill. It is best described as the nuclear missile weapon failure rate. The US has one of the best Overkill in the world, estimating about 40-50% of our launches detonate on their target. Nobody else comes close.

They probably already have. Why do I hear the theme song from Annie now? I am NOT doing a song parody! NO!
