White House says Iran is ‘a few weeks or less’ from bomb breakout
2022-04-27
And who, pray tell, aided and abetted their work?
[IsraelTimes] ’It definitely worries us’: US blames Trump administration for Iran’s nuclear development, urges diplomatic solution, as talks remain stalled.

The US said Tuesday that Iran’s nuclear breakout time was down to weeks, and blamed the previous administration, as negotiations between Tehran and world powers continued to stall.

"Their breakout period is down from about a year, which is what we knew it was during the deal, to just a few weeks or less," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki

#14  Thanks a hell of lot Obummer, Biden and Kerry for allowing this to happen.

#13  Israel still has the Samson Option, in which they threaten the capitals of Europe with nuclear destruction if Israel is ever in danger of attack.

Behold, the next generation of absolute idiots have arrived.

#12   Israel still has the Samson Option, in which they threaten the capitals of Europe with nuclear destruction if Israel is ever in danger of attack.

That’s the first I’ve heard about Israel threatening Europe. It was my understanding that Israel thus threatened those who would invade Israel to destroy it. Iran comes to mind, as does Hezbollahstan; Pakistan is busy posturing, but likes to think itself too far away to partake in any festivities more than symbolically, while Saudi Arabia, et al have in recent years taken themselves off the target list by their behind-the-scenes actions even before they signed the Abraham Accords (may God bless and keep President Trump for that project alone, even if he had not done all the rest (dayenu!)).

Are you suggesting, Harry Jinelet7642, that the nations of Europe would be so stupid as to make themselves an immediate, existential threat against a country reported to have up to 400 multiple-megaton nuclear devices? I can perhaps see the replacement Muslim colonists in a generation or two thinking that a bright idea, but not the native stock.

#11  I'm guessing this means the nuke Biden is giving to Iran to study and improve their own designs is stuck in Long Beach harbor and they aren't sure when it will get loaded.

#10  Sorry to say this but if you are surprised - you haven't been paying attention.

(Or are you being sarcastic ?

#9  I am surprised. Did not John Kerry and Obama say the money deal was to ensure the Iran nuke program remained only for peaceful electrical generation purposes.

#8  Israel still has the Samson Option, in which they threaten the capitals of Europe with nuclear destruction if Israel is ever in danger of attack. So there's no problem, really. It's in their own self-interest to intervene in Iran.

#7  If I get to rub the magic lamp, can one of my wishes to be for commercially viable fusion to trade places with iranian nukes as the "any day now" thing?

#6  If Iran is only "a few weeks" from breakout, then it behooves the Juice to get busy blowing stuff up. Assuming they don't just back up a U-Haul to the storage facility and make off with the processed uranium in the middle of the night.

April 04-26-22 --> WH Intro: Now a short statement by Joe Biden reading from his teleprompter while surrounded by his LSD handlers.

"I DID THIS"
My administration is in discussions with the often misjudged Iranian leadership for an Oil for Nukes deal.

The actual megaton to Oil ratio is now being worked out and we hope to reach an agreement at or near 1 Megaton per 1 Million barrels of Oil.

We have Iran's word that the nukes will not be used against the US or Europe and are only for defense against a possible CCP or Russian Attack.
