Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year.
The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.
But Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb.
wasn’t YET building?
I mean… Why do you even get the uranium enriched to such high levels if you don’t plan to make use of it?
Despite your shitlib stance, I will concede that Iran should gave veen trying to build a nuke as a deterrent for exactly this scenario. The US never attacks nuclear powers. Trump even sucks off Kim Jong Un on weekend getaways.
Power plants fueling desalination. There is alot of material about it. It’s part of the treaties with America. But to refine to weapon grade uranium is not a technological enhancement, you simply run the same enrichment procedure multiple times is my understanding. The main difference is the tricky detonation, but come on, that’s decades old tech.
The treaties were made with the understanding they could make nukes if they wanted to.
So that a reason can be given to not enrich further.
