Iran Nuclear Weapons

2024-08-15 Israel forgot about Iran’s nuclear threat – will it pay the price? Israel is very ready to defend against a massive Iranian conventional missile and drone strike, against a massive rocket and drone strike from Hezbollah, it has for now mostly neutered Hamas in Gaza, has terrorists on the run in the West Bank, and is ready for attacks from Syria, Yemen, or Iraq.
But sources have given the Jerusalem Post mixed signals about how ready Israel is to stop an Iranian nuclear weapons breakout. In several high level briefings the Post has been part of where discussion of Iran’s nuclear weapons threat used to take up a significant amount of the time, the issue is often not mentioned at all or only discussed briefly as a response if the issue is pushed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-forgot-about-iran-s-nuclear-threat-will-it-pay-the-price/ar-AA1oRLSV?
2024-08-14 Iran advancing research on nuclear bomb detonators, nuke expert tells ‘Post’ For years, US intelligence agencies have maintained that Iran was not engaged in the key activities necessary to develop a testable nuclear device. Very large amounts of Iranian academic research have been refocused to advancing issues relevant to nuclear bomb detonation, the Institute for Science and International Security’s president David Albright told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.
This is a potentially radical paradigm shift in how close a real Iran nuclear weapons threat could become, given that until now, defense officials and analysts always said that no matter how far along the Islamic Republic was enriching uranium, there would be time to stop it from getting the bomb seeing as it had not mastered key “weapons group” activities. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-814738
2022-7-14 Biden: US prepared to use force to stop Iran getting nuclear arms President Joe Biden has pledged that the US is “prepared to use all elements of its national power” to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Mr Biden made the declaration with Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid on the second day of his visit there. Israel considers the Iranian nuclear programme to be its greatest threat, though Iran insists it is peaceful. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-62155165
