Tolsey Gabard says Iran can produce nuclear weapons “over weeks”

Tulsi Gabard says Iran can produce nuclear weapons “within a few weeks”, a few months after Congress showed that the country does not build them.

The director of the US National Intelligence stated that its March testimony – which she said that Iran had stocks, but did not create this weapon – was withdrawn from the context of “dishonest media”.

Its change of position occurred after Donald Trump said he was “mistaken” and showed that Iran’s “huge amount of materials” and may have nuclear weapons “for several months.”

Iran has always said that its nuclear program is completely peaceful and that never sought to develop nuclear weapons.

On Thursday, Trump said he was “maximum” to Tehran in two weeks to reach a deal with his nuclear activity with Washington. He said he would soon decide whether the US should join the Israeli strikes on Iran.

The disagreement was built on Trump’s movement in America First, whether the US should enter into conflict.

On Saturday morning, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Arakhchi said his country was “absolutely ready for a negotiating decision” on its nuclear program, but Iran “could not negotiate with the US if our people are bombed.”

In his message in the social media, Gabard said the US intelligence reported that Iran “at the moment that it could produce nuclear weapons within a few weeks.”

“President Trump was clear that I could not happen and I agree,” she added.

Gabard shared a video with full testimony before Congress in March, where she said that the US intelligence agencies had concluded that Iran was not building nuclear weapons.

Experts also determined that Iran did not restore its suspended nuclear weapons program in 2003, it added to the video, even if the country was enriched with uranium – a component of such weapons – was at the highest level.

In her testimony, she said that Iran’s shares were “unprecedented for the state without nuclear weapons.”

Earlier this month, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) – Global Atomic Watchman – expressed concern About the Iranian reserve of enriched uranium, which can be used to prepare reactor fuel, but also nuclear weapons.

Gabard’s March testimony was previously criticized by Trump, who had previously told reporters that it was not “worried about what she said.”

The US president said he believed that Iran is “very close to weapons” and his country will not allow it to happen.

In 2015, Iran agreed to a long -term transaction on its nuclear program with a group of world powers after many years of tension over the country’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons.

This year, Iran was negotiating with the US on its nuclear program and was supposed to hold a further round when Israel launched Iran’s strikes on June 13, which Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu launched the Iran’s “heart”.

“If you do not stop, Iran can produce nuclear weapons in a very short time,” Netanyahu said.

Israeli air strikes destroyed Iranian military facilities and weapons, as well as killed senior military commanders and nuclear scientists.

On Saturday, the Iranian Ministry of Health said at least 430 people were killed, while the human rights group, the Human Rights Agency, put an unofficial number of dead at 657 on Friday.

Iran avenged missile and drones against Israel, killed by 25 people, including the one who suffered a heart attack.
