Obama and Biden OWN the re-emergence of the Terror State Iran. Trump had them flat on their back, broke and powerless. Biden changed all that as soon as he took the White House along with throwing the border wide open.

Blinken: Iran capable of producing fissile material in 'one or two weeks'

Iran is capable of producing fissile material for use in a nuclear weapon within "one or two weeks," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday.
News of Iran's capabilities follows the recent election of President Masoud Pezeshkian, who has said his goal is to "get Iran out of its isolation," and who favors reviving the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and global powers.
Blinken said that "what we've seen in the last weeks and months is an Iran that's actually moving forward" with its nuclear program.
The United States unilaterally withdrew in 2018 from the Iran nuclear deal, which was designed to regulate Iran's atomic activities in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.

Speaking at a security forum in Colorado, Blinken blamed the collapse of the nuclear deal for the acceleration in Iran's capabilities.
"Instead of being at least a year away from having the breakout capacity of producing fissile material for a nuclear weapon, (Iran) is now probably one or two weeks away from doing that," Blinken said.
He added that Iran had not yet developed a nuclear weapon.
Iran's acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri told CNN earlier this week that his country remained committed to the deal, known as the JCPOA.
"We are still a member of JCPOA. America has not yet been able to return to the JCPOA, so the goal we are pursuing is the revival of the 2015 agreement," he said. "We are not looking for a new agreement."
Commentary:
Once more we hear about the continued saga of Blinken announcing that Iran is weeks away from producing a nuclear weapon.
This is the same mantra we heard as far back as the Obama administration and we continue to bow to the Ayatollah of Iran.
Either the have the weapon or not, is of no importance. They know if they use it Iran will become a desert of fused glass.
I am sure that Israel does not have just a nuclear weapon of 1945 size, but weapons of Hydrogen bomb size and if that doesn't fry them the U.S. would in defensive retaliation.
I still believe in the concept of M.A.D.
