Iran is inching ever closer to bomb grade uranium but the Ayatollah insists that was only an accident. The international team of atomic inspectors discovered recently that they’re up to 84% purity with only six points to go before they have the right nuclear stuff to blow us up with.
Iran “just shy” of bomb grade
In a report released by Fox News on February 19, “International atomic inspectors last week discovered that Iran has accumulated uranium enriched to levels to just shy of what is needed for a nuclear weapon.” That’s not a good thing.
Some “senior diplomats” told Bloomberg, without giving their names. Tehran has “accumulated uranium enriched to 84% purity and a concentration to 6% below what’s needed for a weapon.” That logs in at a new record.
The Ayatollah has been swearing up and down to the International Atomic Energy Agency that their “centrifuges were configured to enrich uranium to a 60% level of purity.” Obviously, he lied.

In Iran, the phrase for the week is “plausible deniability.” They have a slim excuse for calling it an accident and the IAEA seems ready to buy it. At least, long enough to get out of there with their heads still on their shoulders.
“It remains unclear” the leaky diplomats note, “whether the material was intentionally produced or it was an unintentional accumulation within the centrifuges used to separate the isotopes.”
The problem is that once the gizmos are spinning, there is no way to know how pure the results will be until they stop for testing. Their gear can’t tell the difference between 60 and 90 percent. If Iran were really using it for nuclear power, as they insist, they would be churning out product around 5% purity.
Iran enrichment of uranium is nearing nuclear weapons-grade purity. Biden’s policy of deference is NOT working. The Iranian regime is singularly focused on destruction of the free world.https://t.co/3NgzFaLlVh

Should not be happening
Whether it was a mistake or not, something is seriously wrong with this picture. “Enrichment of uranium to 84% purity – be it intentional or by accident – should simply not be happening,” declares Behnam Ben Taleblu, a Senior Fellow at Foundation for Defense of Democracies. We only have one hope to stop Iran and it scares the bejeebies out of everyone.
“There is only one way to deal with this. Biden must work with the E3 to snap back sanctions and collapse the architecture surrounding the [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action].” That little debacle was better known to the public as Barack Obama and John Kerry’s “pallets of cash” bribe to the Ayatollah.
“This should be a wake-up call to the international community. Iranian nuclear escalation can and does happen absent Western pressure. Indeed, Iran has been in the driver’s seat of the nuclear crisis the entire time Biden has been in office.”

The Pentagon is too “woke” to wake up in time. At the same time the report news broke on Sunday, the Ayatollah was getting roasted in the press for his “brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters.” Not only that, they’re talking to Russia behind Blinky Blinken’s back, promising to sell Vlad some weapons to tide him over until China comes through.
As soon as Donald Trump took office, he shredded Obama’s appeasement deal and got heavy with sanctions. As soon as Joe Biden pushed him out, they gave John Kerry a new title and let him do anything he wants as long as he works in a speech about climate change once in a while.
Meanwhile, they sat in secret Swiss talks to resurrect Obama’s deal. They were on the verge of getting the new version signed off and talks collapsed. Meanwhile, those centrifuges in Iran keep spinning up stronger and stronger uranium.
