White House says Iran able to produce nuclear bomb in ‘a couple of weeks’
The Times of Israel ^

Posted on 06/19/2025 1:28:42 PM PDT by USA-FRANCE

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in the space of a “couple of weeks,” the White House says, as US President Donald Trump debates whether to take military action against the Islamic Republic. “Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon. All they need is a decision from the supreme leader to do that, and it would take a couple of weeks to complete the production of that weapon,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tells reporters.

Peace-activist Tucker is not happy.

How exactly are they able to do anything at all while Israel is attacking them every day? Even if they did have a bomb, how would they get a plane up in the air? Israel controls their airspace.

They’ve been “two weeks away” from producing a nuclear weapon for the last 30 years.

This explains Trump’s pushback on Gabbard. I suspect he was provided irrefutable evidence from Mossad. Gabbard’s blind spots to Iran, Syria and Russia are problematic, though her Syria issue is OBE. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is gone by the end of the year.

Indeed - that old saw has been played until the teeth have worn off.

You can’t trust Mossad. You can’t trust Netanyahu. They’d fabricate anything to have American blood spilled for their interests.

I believe it takes about two weeks to enrich Uranium from 60% to 90% U-235. They've been sitting at 60% since about April 2021.

I believe the phrase "two weeks away" means that they've been stalled at that point.

LOL. Would that be like “irrefutable evidence” from Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx that standing six feet apart and wearing a stupid face diaper would stop the spread of COVID?

I've been hearing this for 20 years.

Neocons -- and Netanyahu -- said that Iraq was this close to having nukes -- which they would use on Israel!

Turned out to be false. Lies and disinformation. Thousands of Americans died as a result.

Yet with no shame, by the mid 2000s Neocons and Israel were saying that Iran was this close to having nukes -- which they would use on Israel!

Same lies from the same playbook.

The issue with Gabbard is that she’s wading too deep into political theatrics — that’s simply not her role. Just a few days ago, she released a ridiculous melodramatic scare-video that felt more like psychological warfare than public service. Frankly, the tone resembled something you’d expect from North Korea — designed to intimidate and demoralize Americans rather than inform or inspire. Why is she engaging in fear-based propaganda against her own people? It’s baffling and deeply concerning. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump removes her from the picture soon.

“ Even if they did have a bomb, how would they get a plane up in the air? Israel controls their airspace.”

Why does a nuke have to be dropped? Been hearing for years about suitcase nukes.

Why do I keep thinking that I've seen this movie before?

Re: 2002. Vice President Dick Cheney played a significant role in articulating the administration's concerns. In a speech on August 26, 2002, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars 103rd National Convention, Cheney stated, "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

Unfortunately, too many Freepers who were smart enough not to buy into that nonsense were banned or self-exiled back in the mid-2000s when they had the audacity to call out George W. Baboon on it.
