Showing Original Post only (View all)Iran could have a bomb within the next 3 weeks [View all]
According to nuclear scientists and IAEA experts.
If Traitor had left the JCPOA in place thered be no enriched uranium at this point. Now theyre going to build a bomb. Bank on it
A single cascade of 174 IR-6 centrifuges could produce a bomb's worth of 90% highly enriched uranium from the 60% enriched material whose location is unknown in 10-20 days.

That is to enrich to 90%--NOT TO MAKE A BOMB. Please folks pay attention to facts. Details matter.
