What Next? Maybe Time To Consider The Threat From Iran

   OR maybe ignore it, as this is a visible pattern we have witnessed from Biden.
   
   The White House claims, "We are not looking for a conflict with Iran" But are they looking fo a conflict with America?
   
   
   
   "JERUSALEM – Top Iran experts in the U.S. and in Israel are warning President Biden that his administration’s strategy of de-escalation and containment targeting the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism – the Islamic Republic of Iran – has failed and America needs to reestablish deterrence against Tehran as fears of the regime obtaining a nuclear device grow.
   
   Alarming reports about Iran moving at an astonishingly fast pace to possess a nuclear weapon have emerged since last month.
   
   In December, Reuters reported that a confidential IAEA report released to member states said it had "increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023." Reuters also said in its report "that Iran is enriching to up to 60%, close to the roughly 90% that is weapons grade, at its Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant (PFEP) in its sprawling Natanz complex and at its Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), which is dug into a mountain."
   
   In a report titled "How quickly could Iran make nuclear weapons today?" published earlier this month by David Albright, a physicist and founder and president of the Institute for Science and International Security, stated, "The long pole in the tent of building nuclear weapons is essentially complete. Iran can quickly make enough weapon-grade uranium for many nuclear weapons, something it could not do in 2003." Albright said Iran had a "crash nuclear weapons program" up until 2003, which it then changed to a "more dispersed nuclear weapons effort.
   
   In his report, Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, wrote, "Today, it would need only about a week to produce enough for its first nuclear weapon. It could have enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month, and after five months of producing weapon-grade uranium, it could have enough for 12."

      Great food for thought, Sharlee. I am left with more questions than a resolute position. A few are:
      
      Propensity to use the manufactured weapons
      
      With whom, if is used
      
      And, then if an ally what are our treaty agreements with those possibilities. For instance, Israel.

         Great logical thoughts. Not sure the leaders of Iran are drawn to logic, they seem driven by hate. Perhaps they would join the nations that hold the powers of nuclear weapons, and use them as a tool of power.
