What will Al Qaeda do with its Iranian gift of uranium, the fuel most widely used by nuclear power plants for nuclear fission?

“Iran now can produce 25 kg [of uranium] at 90 percent if they want to” – enough for at least one nuclear bomb.

“In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60 percent and we can easily produce 90 percent enriched uranium.”

The IAEA estimates that Iran has around 85 kg of 20% enriched uranium, up from the 63 kg the atomic agency reported last May.

This may be a good moment to remind President Joe Biden of his promise in late August to the visiting Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

"it isn't clear that the Americans intend to respond militarily."

On July 2, 2020, around 2 AM, there were explosions and a major fire in the centrifuge production plant at the nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz.

Under the JCPOA, small numbers of the more advanced centrifuges were to be used for research, but without producing enriched uranium.

“The Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement. Evaluations regarding the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities continue.”

"The Iranian nation will not tolerate being under both sanctions and nuclear restrictions," Khamenei stressed.

Iran's statement indicates the Islamic Republic’s uranium enrichment centrifuges haven’t been modified or reduced at all - a blatant violation of the JCPOA.

Republicans on the Hill would start voicing their loud objections to Obama's assessment once they realize that Iran could go back to working on a bomb in 10 years.

The mullahs weren't interested in diplomacy without enrichment rights. Clinton led the fold on this point.

Syria asks the UN IAEA to help convert its nuclear reactor to use low-enriched uranium, and ship out its high-enriched fuel.

The Times reported its stockpile of nuclear fuel increased by 20 percent.

Iran has not kept its end of the deal with US-led world powers, and has grown its nuclear fuel stockpile during talks.

Obama proves once again that Netanyahu is smarter than he is.

US President Barack Obama is finally forced to admit Iran's breakout time to a nuclear bomb will be "zero" just 3 years after the new deal ends.

The Iran nuclear deal allows continued uranium enrichment, a bunkered centrifuge center and no snap inspections. Lucky Iran.

It is not called an agreement but instead "key parameters" for a final agreement. Some elements of the agreement may not be made public.

We would be fools to take seriously assurances from Joe Biden.

Khamenei's decision was designed to avoid a crisis during Iran's election year.
