Iran probably has had the capability to build one for some time, the reason they haven't done it is because is not their policy. And they adhere to international regulation and audits to make sure everything is compliant But if their sovereignty keeps being threatened who knows April 16, 2021 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-nuclear-unanium-enrichment-60-percent-us-talks/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-nuclear-unanium-enrichment... "Iran said on Friday that it had begun enriching uranium to the higher level. The country has said it intends to use the 60% enriched product for radio-pharmaceuticals, which can be used to treat diseases including cancer."

    I wouldn't trust anything from western media. It is just manufactured consent to bomb a country on the other side of the world.

      I see you don't want to let pesky facts get in the way of what you want to think. > I don't trust western media. Then call the IAEA and ask them yourself.

Eerie near-echos of Iraq and the WMDs. Hope it turns out less disastrous this time.

  Tulsi gabbard said that iran is not building a nuke. That includes from all the intelligence cia, nsa, and every other intelligence agency. They were all unanimous. Netanyahu has been saying shit for decades. Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty so they can enrich uranium. Under the jcpoa iran was meeting the limits set by obama. and not enriching over 3%. They just are enriching at such a high point now as a point for negotiations.

    Tulsi Gabbard now says Iran could produce nuclear weapon 'within weeks' https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c056zqn6vvyo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c056zqn6vvyo and you ignored rest of things that i wrote bonus: iran found to be in violation of npt https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/25/06/gov2025-38.pdf https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/25/06/gov2025-38.pd...

      https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u8TDvCHImKI https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u8TDvCHImKI she literally told people they weren't. but they are lying because they need to manufacture consent to bomb iran. the same bullshit with iraq and how they wanted nukes and had wmd. netanyahu has literally been saying for 30+ years that iran was weeks away from having nukes. i need to find something about that report. the video has the ieae head saying they did not have any proof of a systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon. the ieae has been for some bullshit political timing . they made another good point that the us left the nuclear deal causing them to defensively spiral. https://youtu.be/k7zJ2kWsPGM?t=1895 https://youtu.be/k7zJ2kWsPGM?t=1895 (its queued for the part where he talks about this is bullshit and iran is not making a dash from the bomb) the intelligence still stands.
