Iran brags it has the 'technical means' to produce nuclear bomb'
[NYPOST] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
can make nuclear bombs but has not yet chosen whether to build one, a bigwig bragged.

Kamal Kharrazi, a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
, gave the warning Sunday, a day after President Biden ended his Middle East trip in which he vowed to stop Iran from "acquiring a nuclear weapon."

He told Al Jazeera TV that "Iran is on the nuclear threshold and this is not something secret," according to the Tehran Times.

"Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one," Kharrazi insisted.

Kharrazi said Iran has already been easily "able to enrich uranium up to 60%" — far above a cap of 3.67% under Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

#1 Next step after building the bomb is to take it to the lot next door and test it to see how well it work.

#3 Pre-emptively turn all of Iran into glass. Rinse and repeat as necessary. A little 'overflow' shouldn't hurt, be thorough.

#4 ...And we have the 'technical means' to kick your ass all the way back to that 12th century you're so fond of.

Your move.

#5 If are bragging they should have reasons, hope they send a clear message to Israel.

#6 I speak neither Persian nor Hebrew, but seems to me the clear message is "Better to bomb us sooner than later!"

#12 Frightened cats yowl and lash out with their claws, hoping to discourage that which they’re afraid of. Secure cats wait calmly to see if they need do anything about the situation. (I assume it’s similar with dogs, but I haven’t lived with one since my age was a small prime number, so can’t say from observation.)

Given the level of penetration Israel has demonstrated over the decades of Iran’s nuclear program — and the fact that Mossad made off with Iran’s entire research archive a few years ago, it strikes me that Israel probably knows better than Iran the status of Iran’s nuclear bomb program, and where all the parts are located.

There may be a new parts strategy.

Aside from ValJar that is?

#17 /\ During her speech, Haley also discussed the ongoing Ukrainian-Russian war, claiming that America has “a duty to support Ukraine.”

Huuuuh, "duty." I don't think so.

#18 It will be fun watching Haley and Pence pull down single digit support in the "cattle call" portion of the nominee race.

#19 The Saudi foreign minister poured cold water over any imminent normalization with Israel, saying this was not a precursor to further steps. He said Riyadh was not part of any discussions on a Gulf-Israeli defense alliance to counter Iran.
Iran will benefit from the new multi-polar world. It has been seeking to ally itself with the Russia and China block with added relations to a neutral India.
All GCC are talking with Iran to normalize their relations.
Based on the statements Iranian nuke test will be conducted very soon.
