New evidence was uncovered by UN inspectors indicating that Iran is engaged in undeclared nuclear activities, The Wall Street Journal
reported Friday citing three diplomats. The evidence brings into
question the scope of Iran's nuclear plans, the newspaper said.
Energy
Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Tuesday it would take Iran around six
months to produce enough fissile material for a single nuclear weapon.
Israel is wary of the Biden
administration's intent to reenter the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal and
has long opposed the agreement. Washington argues that the previous
Trump administration's withdrawal from the deal backfired by prompting
Iran to abandon caps on nuclear activities.
Iran,
which denies seeking nuclear weaponry, has recently accelerated its
breaches of the deal, which it started violating in 2019 in response to
the US withdrawal and reimposition of sanctions against it.
The last quarterly estimates by the UN nuclear watchdog in November show that Iran's
stock of enriched uranium had risen to 2.4 tonnes, more than 10 times
the amount allowed under the deal but still a fraction of the more than
eight tonnes it had before.
Since
then, Iran has started enriching uranium to higher purity, returning to
the 20% it achieved before the deal from a previous maximum of 4.5%.
The deal sets a limit of 3.67%, far below the 90% that is weapons grade.
Sputnik One says: Iran never kept to the Obama nuclear deal from day one and Obama & Biden know that. In fact it was always Obama the Muslim POTUS's intent that Iran should have a nuclear bomb & the missiles to deliver it to destroy Israel with and that is basically why Obama crafted the crooked deal to exclude Iran's long range missile development program as well as make sure that no real inspection of the larger & more important underground nuclear facilities were covered in the treaty & that the sanctions for non-compliance were never implemented by Obama's administration despite the increasing evidence provided both by US & Israeli intelligence sources of serial breaches of the treaty by Iran from the offset.
I personally cannot see Biden taking military action or even a maritime & air blockade of Iran if they continue working hard to achieving a nuclear bomb within a year or two & I have no expectation that Biden will renegotiate an improved deal but will simply go thru the motions of a renewal of a bad deal in order to extract bribe money from the Iranians, just like Obama did!
