Ex-UN nuclear inspector claims Iran already has enough enriched uranium for weapon
2022-06-03
[IsraelTimes] David Albright, who worked for the IAEA in the 1990s, says he believes breakout time is zero but it’s still unclear how long it would take for Tehran to build a nuclear weapon

David Albright, who worked as an inspector for the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the 1990s, made the comments in an interview published Wednesday with London-based Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
International, an Iranian opposition news outlet.

In a report published Monday, the IAEA estimated that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium had grown to more than 18 times the limit agreed on in the troubled 2015 JCPOA.

It "estimated that, as of May 15, 2022, Iran’s total enriched stockpile was 3,809.3 kilograms."

The limit in the JCPOA was set at 300 kilograms (660 pounds) of a specific compound, the equivalent of 202.8 kilograms of uranium. The report also said that Iran was continuing its enrichment of uranium to levels higher than the 3.67 percent limit in the deal.

The stockpile of uranium enriched up to 20% is now estimated to be 238.4 kilograms, up 56.3 kilograms since the last report in March, while the amount enriched to 60% stands at 43.1 kilograms, an increase of 9.9 kilograms.

Enrichment levels of around 90% are required for use in a nuclear weapon.

#1  If you detonate a weapon, you better have another one ready.
