On Monday, Red State<\/a> posted an article about a “60 Minutes” report that confirms the risk of continuing to negotiate with Iran without eliminating its nuclear program.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

We heard a lot from the Democrats and media when the Trump administration launched Operation Epic Fury, arguing that there was no real threat.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, there’s a story from “60 Minutes” that actually points to how real the threat was because of the concern about the highly enriched uranium<\/a> (HEU).<\/strong><\/p>\n

60 Minutes posted on X:<\/p>\n

It’s believed Iran currently has enough HEU to eventually make 10 atomic bombs. But international inspectors have not been allowed to verify Iran’s stockpile since last June, when the U.S. and Israel struck three nuclear sites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Dr. Matthew Bunn, a Harvard Kennedy School professor and former White House nuclear advisor, said<\/a> that almost 1000 pounds would be “enough material, if you enrich it just a little bit more, for 10-11 nuclear bombs.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also explained how “Iran has been lying about its nuclear weapons effort for over 20 years now.” He said their claim that they weren’t working on pursuing a weapon was a lie.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Now, the “60 Minutes” story speaks about a prior operation to secure HEU in Kazakhstan. It seemed to be pushing the merits of cooperation to secure it, versus a military operation. That’s all well and good if you have a cooperative or trustworthy country, which you don’t in Iran. They had on Vice Admiral Robert Harward, who was a deputy commander of U.S. Central Command. He\u00a0said<\/a> that if you tried to seize it, it could take weeks and take a lot of personnel on the ground.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But it would be a lot more challenging, one would think, if you just let it go unchecked, didn’t deal with the problem, and the unhinged regime with the terrorist proxies used it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran wants nuclear weapons in order to insure that the current regime stays in power. They have seen what\u00a0 has happened to some dictatorships who don’t have nuclear power. I seriously doubt anything acceptable will come from the current negotiations–the Iranian Republican Guard and the political types can’t even agree on their talking points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
