An Iran watchdog group says the country has enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear weapon in just one week.
The Institute for Science and International Security published the findings in a report on Monday, saying Tehran could produce a total of six bombs in a month. "The volatile situation in the region is providing Iran with a unique opportunity and increased internal justification for building nuclear weapons while the United States and Israel's resources to detect and deter Iran from succeeding are stretched thin," the report states. "Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities are more dangerous than they have ever been, while its relations with the West are at a low point." https://www.foxnews.com/world/iran-capable-building-nuclear-bomb-one-week-report-finds-middle-east-tensions-flare |

This has been the plan of dem administrations since '08.
The world is more dangerous now than I have ever seen it. Hang on to your butts. |
|
Probably why they have been more ballsy and mouthy lately as I stated a couple weeks ago.

Democrats took the lead on that, congratulation it is all finally coming together.
Weaken America, strengthen Chicoms, Iran... WW3 is going to be a lot harder thanks to the uniparty continually destroying America while strengthening adversaries. |

I dont think they have the temperament to hold onto a nuke.
We'll know they have one when we see a mushroom cloud in Israel. |

Is this where Biden stands in front of the "Mission Accomplished" banner?
|
|
At this point I assume they will, and it is mostly a question of whether the DNC successfully hangs this one on Trump for withdrawing from JCPOA in 2018, or Biden get to own it in the public eye.
I'm curious if they test one (India, Pakistan, North Korea), or just subtly let people know about it like the Israelis did. |

soon we will see a nuclear armed Saudi Arabia. Hell Pakistan will give Saudi at least a few the moment it is known the Iranians have them.
|
|
considering how much uranium israel stole from the US and Germany, good for them let them go at each other. At least the middle east will be a little more quiet and less aid will leave the country.

|
well shit.
If true, Israel will be along shortly to bomb the shit out of Iran. WW3 really is looking inevitable at this point. |
|
So, like... we're about 20 minutes into the Top Gun Maverick storyline?
|

Welp the silver lining here is gun control will take a back seat to all but the most rabid when the mushroom clouds start to appear on the horizon.

Israel's "Samson Option" is well known, and they are believed to have several hundred warheads. If Iran nuked Israel, their entire country would literally be wiped off the map. While the mullahs are obviously somewhat crazy, I don't think they are crazy to the point of being suicidal. |

Standard Iranian agitprop for the last 15 or 20 years.
"OMG! Iran is 2 weeks away from having nuclear weapons!" Why is it nobody remembers the last 50 times this has been trotted out? |
|
|
some of my old intel buddies have told me to stay-the-fuck-away from Las Vegas AND the Superbowl this Sunday
I'll just leave that one here |
|
|
You can thank Joe and Obama for helping fund it. When they get the bomb it will start a middle east arms race.

View Quote thing is once you have a ton or so of 50% u235 (give or take), you are "2 weeks away" from a bomb just depends on how portable you want it to be... |

|
Quoted: A bomb in a week, but 6 in a month? Maths? View Quote Depends on if the production pipeline is serial or if there are overlapping stages. Takes a week from start to finish to produce one. You can start a new production on day two or three of the prior one in progress. Still takes a week to complete one bomb, but you get more than 4 in 4 weeks. |

I could see a scenario where Iran tests the waters by dropping a nuke on someone. I think this is Iran's short list for nuclear bombs recipients:
1. Israel - while there would be widespread outward condemnation - even in the ME, most Arabs hate the Jews so, secretly, they'd thank Iran, privately. If enough of Israel is left, they'll retaliate with everything and wipe Iran off the map. That starts WW3. 2. The US fleet in the area - since pedo Joe took the helm, every bad-boy country has been flexing and pretty much ignoring our weak, incompetent, dementia-ridden administration. Joe would not retaliate with our nukes so as to not risk escalation and loss of the presidential campaign. He'd declare a week of mourning, covene a special council to figure out why Iran hates so much, then give them money. 3. India - they're not of the faith, so they're infidels worthy of death. Besides, I don't see too many countries getting into an uproar over 200k Indian deaths. 4. Iraq - pay back for the Iran-Iraq war and a bonus of killing lots of American still there. See #2 for the American reaction. I think Israel is going to have to mount one of its superb, fully deniable, secret strikes into Iran and take out whatever facilities the Iranians have to build the bombs. |

Using a fissionable isotope of uranium to make a bomb is a terrible waste. Breeding plutonium-239 is a whole lot more cost-effective.
|
|
If the Israeli Airforce really flew three F35A planes to Tehran undetected, then any nuclear attack on Israel will be the end of the Islamic revolution.
The Iranian breeder reactor blew up. |

Memory is a bit fuzzy but didn’t Nostradamus predict that some sandy mangina from that region would unleash the fiery Armageddon?
