Iran Foreign Policy and Doctrine

[LittleFish]

your definition is can they say 'lets make nuke this second' and if answer is it takes more than 1 day then it's a technical problem not a political problem?

what kind of logic is this

there are zero technical obstacles, just time needed to implement the political decision.

Not in 1 day. I mean, after decades of technical preparation, and 2 years after the deal was broken up when Soleimani was killed, Iran still didn't have enough HEU for a single bomb? China's first atomic bomb was made in just 2 years with 60s technology.

Opposition media have cited figures over 80%. Where do you get the idea that they agree with the 35%-40% figure?

Inflation hits new high, Iran’s Statistical Center says

Iran's inflation has hit a new peak this year, with the Statistical Center of Iran reporting a general inflation rate of over 35% for February, the highest since last winter.

there is a political decision not to enrich uranium to 90%

this is not a technical issue because this can be done whenever the political decision is made

you understand the difference?

That's why I say the Iranian leadership are treasonous cunts that receive instructions from other countries.

According to IAEA reports, credible evidence from documents published by Israel and experts like David Albright from ISIS, Iran had a working design for an implosion device comparable to Mark V in late 90s. Iran has had access to laser isotope separation for decades (since 1975) and we have successfully conducted uranium enrichment with MLIS in 2003 at Lashkar Abad. It is absolutely impossible that fissile material or technical issues are the real reason.

It is right in the title: Iran's Statistical Center says. (مرکز آمار ایران)

The report is just citing public figures by centers in Iran. If you listen to their so-called experts, they cite numbers well above 60%.

They created the oil crisis in 70s over the issue of Palestine. You don't see Arabs supporting the rights of the Palestinians or resorting to using oil as a weapon again, do you? You don't seem to be very familiar with the history of the Middle East.
Trump is a loud fool that fucks up and then retreats. He tried to fight with the whole world and take on Europe and China at the same time. His plans backfired terribly. But the US is coming for you one way or another. If you think Trump is an isolated anomaly in the US foreign policy, you are wrong. The US-China future conflict is a bi-partisan issue in my opinion.

I do know the reason. This proves GCC won't be so obedient to the West.
Trump is a fool for sure, and everyone know US has been targeting China for long, no news to us.

technical issues no, but fissile material yes

you either need plutonium or uranium for a nuclear warhead no matter how much research you do on designs

I can read it but the point is they are terrorist scum who never miss an opportunity to shit on Iran and even they use the official statistics.

First of all, the so-called GCC didn't even exist back in 1970s. It was formed 10-20 years ago to counter Iran. Secondly, as you can see, they have stopped acting like that.
As we speak, Israel is publicly committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine and you don't hear a peep from the Arabs of the Persian Gulf region.
If you are interested, read about the assassination of King Faisal by his nephew.

They publish all sorts of articles from institutes within Iran. It doesn't mean that they agree with it. They're just reposting official articles to show how bad the situation is, even according to data published by the regime in Iran.

If it was only a political problem, then you should made some sub-HEUs for preparation and enrich them to weapon-level in days or months in need, I don't believe IRI leadership was so unwise not to think of that.

That seems to be their sole reason for enrichment to 60%. Iran has accumulated around 280kg of 60% enriched uranium. The figure is from several months ago by the IAEA. So, it's probably higher now.
Assuming Iran's current enrichment capacity is 15,000 SWU UF6/year, if enriched to 90%, that would give Iran 186 kg of HEU in less than a month (~4 weeks). Enough for ~5 strategic warheads (boosted-fission weapons), or 10-12 tactical nukes.

what is 60% HEU if not "sub-HEUs" ?

we have enough 60% HEU to produce 10 nuclear warheads within a few weeks

 

[LittleFish]

Sure. Let's see, off the top of my head:
1. You failed to finish the Tehran-Shomal expressway.
2. You left the Tehran metro without completing it.
3. You failed to meet your legal obligation under the JCPOA to help us redesign the IR-40 reactor.
4. You failed to even start your work at the Chabahar Port and abandoned it for Gwajar.
5. You failed to do anything in the South-Pars gas field, costing us billions of dollars in lost revenue each year.
Do I need to say more? Many of these projects were worth several billions of dollars and they were given to you.

I see, thanks for your info.

Okay, then as I said above, your leadership wasted the last chance to detonate right after Soleimani was killed.
