International inspectors this week found Iran has uranium enriched to 84% purity, just 6% below that needed to produce a nuclear weapon, Bloomberg News reported Sunday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is preparing its quarterly report on Iran's nuclear program, and two monitors found the near-nuclear weapon capability — the highest found to date.

If true, and not just a fluke, this could get "interesting."

Well, I suppose this will give the Israeli Air Force something to do next week.
Unless, of course, the Biden administration demands that they stand down.

Bombing runs contribute to Global Warming, dontcha know?

If Pakistan was quickly able to construct nuclear weapons after India had them, does anyone really believe that Iran is not capable of doing so? Their main problem is that Israel would view such a nuclear armed mullah regime as an actual, huge threat to the Jewish people and would promptly take definitive action

Which democrat infested city in America will be the first to taste the sweet nectar of an Iranian nuke? Decisions, decisions.

Wasn’t the purpose of these “inspections” to monitor their enrichment to prevent them from getting close to a nuke?
What is the IEA’s next move? Hide in a bunker?

At the speed America has become its own definition of a terrorist state I would suspect every nation on earth will want a nuke to just protect themselves for our terrorism. Hell, we even bomb our own “allies” infrastructure. No one is safe from Neocon lunatics!

Well, let Iran have a nuke, detonated right above Bushehr.

"If Pakistan was quickly able to construct nuclear weapons after India had them, does anyone really believe that Iran is not capable of doing so?"

That's the real question, isn't it? Pakistan transferred their nuke capacity in toto to the Norks in the span of a decade nearly 20 years ago, how is it Iran doesn't have a nuke in all this time?

"Their main problem is that Israel would view such a nuclear armed mullah regime as an actual, huge threat to the Jewish people and would promptly take definitive action"

And that is exactly why Iran hasn't assembled a nuke. Yet.

So the real question is, how fast could Iran assemble their nuke, and what is their delivery vehicle?

Remember, this is only, ONLY what they found!!

We always consider the leaders of the past as fools
when in reality those of the present are bigger yet.

Saudi Arabia will likely turn to Russia and China to help them diminish this threat too.

“A dirty bomb will do.”

Dirty bombs are the most overrated weapons ever. They are a conventional bomb that scatters some pieces of radioactive trash a few hundred yards. The conventional bomb is the most dangerous part.

Induced Nuclear Fission is the problem.
