Just some Uranium enrichment info for everyone
Posted on 6/17/25 at 10:05 am

For those of you still confused about the whole Iran and nuclear bomb thing. The level u-235 (the uranium isotope that produces fission) needs to be enriched to for nuclear power is 3.5%. A report from nuclear watchdog agencies from Nov. 2024 stated that Iran is currently enriching uranium to a level of 60%. 90% enrichment is needed to produce a nuclear weapon. In February 2025 it was reported that Iran was currently installing new centrifuges that could easily take the enrichment from 60-90%. Now let's say Iran never wanted a nuke then why would they enrich u-235 well past the amount needed for peaceful nuclear power?

I’ve posted this a few times, along with the fact they’re making components for a bomb now

Why did the DNI say a couple of months ago Iran wasn't seeking a weapon then? I'm not countering your info, I'm just referencing the conflicting messaging from the admin that is contributing to the division.
The WH is working overtime to make this appear Trump has been consistent. And he has, about Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
But that doesn't explain his administration saying something different about Iran's objectives, or the fact that these blaring red sirens from the administration only really began very recently.
I do think something happened that led to this, I've heard that there was a major tone shift from Iran in negotiations (in addition to Trump's shift) that freaked out the administration because they believed Iran felt it was about to have way more leverage (ie, once the fuel is ready, the circumstances change).
But from the broader public's perspective, it coinciding with Bibi pushing us to act just rubs everyone the wrong way.

Most do. But the minority gets loud. The John Barrons. Those people have an agenda.
John is posting Keith Woods today. Keith is a Self-described ethno-nationalist and antisemite.
Now ask yourself why John would post something from him.
Another is using David Duke's lines on Israel. See what I mean?

They do not. And the uranium enrichment wouldn't be a big deal by itself if it wasn't for the centrifuges. Iran's old IR-1 centrifuges did not have the capabilities to enrich uranium much farther past 60%. However, the new IR-4 centrifuges that have been installed over the past year can easily enrich it to the needed 90%.

3 months ago she stated the info in OP in her testimony. She stated not ACTIVELY pursuing.

There were a few things that stood out," Roman said, referencing activity at the Times Enrichment facility. "Iran reactivated an explosives manufacturing line, which could only be used to help that needed nuclear weapon…
efforts to put the fissile material into a shape which could be used for a nuclear weapon – that was reactivated as well." Roman added that these developments mirrored work Iran halted in 2003, when it froze its military nuclear program.
Experts believe Iran is enriching uranium to 60%, which puts it just below the 90% needed for a nuclear weapon, and have said there is no civilian use for 60% enriched uranium.
Here’s what’s happened since March

On the plane Trump said he was convinced that Iran was close to a bomb.

Why does anyone want the ability to produce nuclear weapons?

When asked about this last night on the plane, Trump said he didn't care what Tulsi said. That's good enough for me.

Did we ever find those WMD? What about the Gulf of Tonkin incident, who was it that attacked our ship? So glad we finally found that Bin Laden character. How did Alex Jones know about the towers weeks before 9/11 and the US didn’t?
The problem is we are constantly lied to. Manipulated. Keep crying wolf no one will listen.

I don’t want us to be shills for Israel or get involved in endless wars either but the tone of this board has become increasingly anti-Semitic. We have people here that are hard to differentiate from Hamas supporters.
I trust Trump to do what is right for America for the long term.
