Iran can produce fissile material for nuclear bomb in 2 weeks - US says Report: Iran not pursuing a weapons program at this time, has the capacity to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb in less than two weeks. By JERUSALEM POST STAFF OCTOBER 1, 2023

Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time, the United States assessed in a newly released report on countering weapons of mass destruction published on Friday.

The Defense Department report, titled 2023 Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, identified the Islamic Republic as a "persistent threat" and warned that it could build a nuclear weapon in two weeks.

"Iran not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time, but has the capacity to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear device in less than two weeks," the report noted.

In the report, the US criticized Iran for its noncompliance with obligations made under the Chemical Weapons Convention and voiced concerns that Tehran is pursuing "dual-use central nervous system-acting chemicals for offensive purposes."

The report also identified the Islamic Republic as a "regional threat" to the Middle East that must be addressed.

Israel: Iran continues to test its nuclear program Last week, Israel's Atomic Energy Commission director-general claimed that Iran is conducting a military nuclear program and continues to test and deploy long-range nuclear missiles in violation of the UN Security Council.

“Iran is still the spearhead of regional instability, and is a threat to peace and security worldwide,” Edri said as he addressed the 67th International Atomic Energy Agency’s General Conference in Vienna. Halting Iran’s nuclear weapons activity requires the “full attention of the international community,” Edri stated.

Conservatives did this. U.S. conservatives wrecked all agreements and progress being made for non-proliferation in Iran while Iranian conservatives pushed toward nuclear armament.

Conservatism's primary function is to end life on planet earth. Every single thing a conservative does results in inching us all closer to an early end. They are a plague long overdue for a cure.

Well if the world doesn't end, how else is a zombie going to float down from the sky to pick them up in their lifetime?

Evangelicalism is the largest doomsday cult in history, and I suspect a significant aspect of what's going on that's really not talked about enough because it would offend too many people believing similar things.
