The UN’s top atomic regulator said this week that there was little point in trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, with Iran already practically a nuclear threshold state.
The comments by International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi in Italy on Monday underlined growing frustration by the UN monitor toward Iran, which has blown past stockpile limits set by the landmark pact and spurned inspections since Washington abandoned the deal in 2018.
Under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran was only permitted to enrich uranium to 3.68 percent purity, a level consistent with civilian uses of nuclear technology that Iran claims are its only pursuit, capping its stockpile at 300 kilograms.
But according to an IAEA report handed to member states and leaked to the press earlier this month, Iran has begun dramatically expanding its production of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade levels, collecting enough material for several bombs already.
And?
The US backed away from the deal. It is Iran’s interest to make one in order to protect it’s own sovereignty.
Look at Ukraine. Loot at Palestine.
Nobody will help you.
Seriously. The fact people aren’t saying every day “Ukraine gave up their nukes because they were guaranteed protection from the West in the event of a Russian invasion, and look how that turned out.”
Notice the source of this article. This is just manufacturing consent for Israel and the US to again bomb Iran.
Source is the UN monitor this time not Netanyahu. Not exactly impartial, but Iran having nukes does not exactly promote Israel bombing it. You know because of the nukes.
But Iran on the cusp. Very much dose.
Iran would be totally foolish not to get nukes when they’re constantly being threatened and attacked by nuclear zio wackos.
They’ve been on the cusp of a nuke for almost a decade! Meanwhile, there was another link on lemmy I saw saying that there was a declassified document detailing Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
They’ve been on the cusp because they’ve deliberately not developed one, because the ambiguity itself was what they deemed strategically beneficial. Now that the Zionists are threatening invasion and floating around the idea of nuking Iran, a confirmed deterrent might be a better strategy.

Zionists would literally rather destroy the world than give up their perceived entitlement to israel.
Religious nationalism is a hell of a drug!
leaked to the press
You mean handed to the press by their handlers
Where are the hexbear people with their image macro’s. I need the one of Netanyahu with the cartoonish bomb.
Ah found it. This is from like 2004 or something. e: apparently 2012 67th United Nations General Assembly meeting Sept. 27, 2012
I downvote anyone who promotes inter-instance animosity.
It’s a good litmus test for seeing who is and is not worth taking seriously.
Where is the animosity? Hexbear is fine.
