Tulsi Gabbard now says Iran could produce nuclear weapon 'within weeks'

Source: BBC

Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks", months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them.

The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony - in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons - had been taken out of context by "dishonest media".

Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was "wrong" and that intelligence showed Iran had a "tremendous amount of material" and could have a nuclear weapon "within months".

Iran has always said that its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and that it has never sought to develop a nuclear weapon.

The presence of hundreds of pounds of 60% enriched uranium per the IAEA proves this (you only need 5% for nuclear reactors).

That said, there isn't as much evidence the program is still actively moving forward, or is even close to a breakout point.

And also nice if somebody else had not destroyed that treaty in order to make a “deal”

Jeez, if I never hear the transactional word “deal” again it would make me very very happy.

Even more disturbing is the fact that our national press isn't calling out these war drums for what they are. It's sickening

That sounds like she has bought into Mullah propaganda.
I don't believe for a second they have the capacity to produce enough weapon grade isotope.
Now, anybody can design a gun barrel uranium weapon, but I don't think their missiles could handle the payload..the other option is that she is simply lying.
