Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[maverick]

In what world 10K SWU UF6/year is considered massive?

Dozens of nuclear weapons of what power? Dozens of 10 kiloton weapons?

Iran has had great options to weaponize her nuclear program (other than the enriched uranium that we have given up once in the JCPOA and we'll probably give up soon in a new deal) but has always failed to do so. Iran foolishly destroyed IR-40 reactor in the JCPOA. IR-40 produced 8-10 kilograms of plutonium. So, Iran has lost at least 80 kilograms of plutonium since 2015.
That would've been enough for 10-15 weapons similar to Fat Man.

Iran was the second country in the world after the US with access to laser isotope separation since 1970s. The Islamic Republic has been capable of domestically producing copper vapor lasers for nearly 15 years. Yet, nothing has been done in this regard either.

So, it's safe to assume that the establishment in Iran considers nuclear weapons a red line for its own existence.

600 kg of UF6 is 60% is U235 grade, it can feed U235/U238 mix in its centrifuges and within 1 week can get to 90% enriched weapon grade U235. it means 360kg of U235 is available to them to produce 30 fission nuclear weapons of 12kgs each with 20KTOn of TNT yield without tritium boaster.

in what stretch if imagination that is not enough? think before u answer

First of all, it's 280 kg of 60% HEU. It would give 185 kg of 90% HEU. Assuming 2 times compression of uranium, that would be enough for 10-15 fission devices. You can't know the yield without conducting a test but it's safe to assume that 2-fold compression would lead to a yield lower than 50 kilotons. Israelis estimated 30 kilotons based on the documents they claimed they had stolen from inside Iran.

In what stretch of imagination that is enough? You think 200-500 Kilotons is enough? The US is already in the range of gigatons by now. The Ivy King alone had a yield close to 500 kilotons.

Maybe because they think the US is trying to set them up to talk with JD Vance?

This is all mental masturbation. Congress placed the sanctions on Iran. Congress is beholden to AIPAC. As Thomas Massie stated, everyone has an AIPAC handler. Israel will never allow the sanctions to be lifted. IRI establishment is wasting time. The problem in Iran is corruption by the oligarchy, most of whom are running the country. Why have the Russians fared so much better under the sanctions?

There should be investors in the starting blocks

IRIAF needs F-15EX and F-16V also helicopters

These will only happen if Iran gets rid of Velayat-e-faqih/removes Islamic system of govt.

Dont let the West trick you with fancy toys- do you know how many nations they've tricked out of their sovereignty and resources because of iphones?

Or at the very least allow China to sell their export fighters without facing sanctions

yes, that can happen even now, but China must consider multiple factors and timing for doing so (same for Russia i guess).

These would be as useless as undelivered Su-35s due to software backdoors. I wouldn't be surprised if the radars were coded to avoid locking "Israeli" aircraft.

Or at the very least allow China to sell their export fighters without facing sanctions

This is the best option with removal of sanctions, much better capabilities than Russian jets.

Hegseth is less polite about the demands

If anyone from US admin chimps out over Iran on media its always them trying to extend their funding from old wealth AIPAC Jew donors. Talentless con men like Hegseth, Vance etc are just doing that now. Fake right wingers from the brown diaspora cracked that code long ago, remember that Indian Nikki Hayley trying to get job+$$ from AIPAC Jews by asking for annihilation of Gaza and Iran and what not. Tulsi Gabbard is success story of using this route.

Witkoff said the redline is weaponisation. If that is the case, a deal is very possible

Deal with Iran is the easy American way out of Middle east.

IRI has no use for this 60% HEU anyway

I will disagree, this enriched mass is the reason we are sitting at table with AIPAC fueled Republican US instead of getting bombed by them. Had this mass was 75% enriched and some 1000 Kg total and Iran would have openly tested its Ghaem SLVs as ICBM we would have seen them offering peace to Iran much earlier.

Irans beaten em and we can all see it clear as day.....

Oh ghaadd no?

Mickey mouse real eastate broker Witcoff with zero knowledge about the ME was sent in to chatting up to IRGC heavyweight wrestlers? Like Araqchi/ Baqai sahbs?.......lol

This is a joke bro!

Behind all this bluster Iran and US look to be totally in sync........

Israel needs to worry now........not Iran.

Aaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaa

By the looks of it
The orange clown gave it to Miliekowsky.
Too much on the plate and too few wins.
We know it is settling down. Zionists are all bluster without US backing, military, financial and diplomatic support.

it's only use is leverage to scare the west into negotiating

but since IRI does not intend to build a nuclear weapon we do not need it and it can be negotiated away
