Blinken Launches Tried and True “Iran Nukes in 1-2 Weeks” Distraction Narrative Again
A well-timed distraction? Or is it real this time? The White House says Iran is on the verge of being nuclear weapons capable.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Friday that the Islamic Republic will have enough enriched uranium for producing fissile material to achieve a nuclear weapon within just “one or two weeks.”
“Iran, because the nuclear agreement was thrown out, instead of being at least a year away from having the breakout capacity of producing fissile material for a nuclear weapon, is now probably one or two weeks away from doing that,” Blinken said at a forum in Colorado.
He did add a caveat, saying there’s as yet no evidence Iran is actively pursuing a nuke at this point; however, the timing is interesting given the White House crisis of Biden’s reelection bid, as well as the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address Congress next week.

Why would Iran make a uranium type of weapon? They are not some backward third world country. They could easily make a plutonium pit shaped like a miniature football that is sub-critical. When smashed in a steel mold driven by only two simultaneous high explosive charges, it would go critical. This would set off the secondary stage of lithium-7 deuteride. A thermonuclear weapon small enough for their missiles to carry. They probably could get a 1-2 megaton yield.
