US military generals stated last week during congressional hearings that Iran is only a few steps away from "uranium enrichment to 90%", the first batch of nuclear-grade materials would only take one week, and enough material for multiple nuclear warheads would only take three weeks.
The Israeli Prime Minister stated over the weekend to American media that it would only take several months for Iran to produce testing nuclear weapons, absolutely less than one year.
The assessment by the US intelligence community on Israel's five-day military actions: it would delay Iran's nuclear weapon development progress by five to six months.
Iran's enriched uranium has been a focal point of world public opinion for many years. The world's attention stems from the fact that the US absolutely does not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons. Despite Iran's commitment to peaceful use of nuclear energy, it has never abandoned its right to peacefully utilize nuclear energy. Due to the lack of mutual trust between both sides, the US and Israel believe that Iran's ultimate goal of developing nuclear energy is still to possess nuclear weapons. Therefore, they continue to exert pressure, engage in negotiations, and even resort to force to obstruct Iran's nuclear technology development, resulting in the slow progress of Iran's nuclear research and development and ultimately no possession of nuclear weapons.
This military conflict was triggered again by Iran's nuclear energy issue. Israel's intelligence system believes that Iran has already crossed the nuclear threshold and is within reach of possessing nuclear weapons. While the US and Israel are still negotiating over the Iranian nuclear issue, Israel impatiently launched a military strike against Iran first.
In accordance with what the US said, Iran is only a few steps away from "uranium enrichment to 90%", the first batch of nuclear-grade materials would only take one week, and enough material for multiple nuclear warheads would only take three weeks.
Through this military strike, Iran's nuclear weapon development progress can be delayed by five to six months.
This is the fundamental reason why Iran cannot produce nuclear weapons.
Among Middle Eastern countries, only Israel possesses nuclear weapons, which must be balanced. This hope lies in Iran.
Iran has persisted for so many years; if delaying by half a year, then so be it. We believe that Iran will eventually manufacture its own nuclear weapons.
