Iran Just Weeks Away from Fissile Material for Nuclear Weapon, Warns US
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that Iran is only 'one or two weeks' away from obtaining enough fissile material to produce a nuclear weapon. The withdrawal of the US from the 2015 nuclear deal has accelerated Iran's progress in its nuclear program.
Blinken emphasized that although Iran has not yet developed nuclear weapons, the current situation is concerning. The US government is closely monitoring the developments and remains committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Efforts to revive the nuclear agreement have been unsuccessful, with negotiations stalling since the US withdrawal in 2018. The international community, including the US, France, Germany, the UK, Russia, and China, had signed the agreement with Iran to prevent its development of nuclear weapons.
The new Iranian president has expressed a desire to revive the agreement. However, Iran's recent actions, including enriching uranium to 60%, suggest a growing capability to produce fissile material.
The US continues to prioritize diplomatic solutions to address the Iranian nuclear threat.
