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 there’d be no enriched uranium at this point. Now they’re 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.

Iran doesn't need to rebuild enrichment facilities on their previous scale to get the bomb.
