Iran Can Produce 10 Nuclear Bombs in 4 Months, Watchdog Says
Washington Free Beacon ^ | September 11, 2023 | Adam Kredo

Iran now has the capacity to fuel 6 nuclear warheads in 1 month’s time, and 10 within 4 months, according to an analysis of the latest data released by a nuclear watchdog.

Iran has the resources and technical know-how to "produce enough [weapons-grade uranium] for six nuclear weapons in one month, eight in two months, nine in three months, and ten in four months," according to the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank that reviewed the latest disclosures about Tehran’s atomic stockpile from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

This is significantly faster than the three-to-four months it would have taken Iran to build just one nuclear weapon in 2020 when economic sanctions were at their strictest before the Biden administration took office. Now, it would take Iran just 12 days to produce the fuel needed for its first nuclear warhead and a total of six by the end of one month. This also is an increase from May 2023 estimates when it was thought Iran had enough uranium to power five nuclear weapons.

That much nuclear destruction loosed upon the world is really going to change the overall balance of power. Not enough to make a serious dent in the US, but that could wreak havoc on a country such as Israel.

Assuming the Iranians could deliver them.

Hmmm, let’s speed up the process from 4 months to 4 weeks by giving them their 6 billion we tied up.

Everything they are doing to Trump, they did ten times that to Netanyahu, and he's still standing.

> Israel will neutralize them.

It’s probably past that point. Can’t really try unless you’re sure that you’ll get every last one of them.

One wonders why democrat administrations desperately wanted the “iran nuclear ‘deal’ “. Iran has vowed to destroy this country. But then one remembers that democrat administrations hate this country and want it destroyed.

Trump was opposed to the ‘deal’. Trump loves this country.

We’re doomed. After Trump stole and sold our nuke launch codes Biden has no way to deter Iran. /s

Amazing!

A west-hating Islamic theocracy with the bomb.

This is not going to end well.
