With the fake nuclear bomb.. Iran haggling with the world to silence its crimes against protesters
Iran continues to stir controversy over the 90% increase in uranium enrichment, which would lead to the creation of a warhead that could be placed in a ballistic missile, but this time it is using this threat to strengthen its position, and to consolidate the regime’s presence in the face of the widespread protests that are taking place in the country, after which the world started to take a collective stand against the mullahs’ violations.
Iran protests and regime loss of legitimacy
During this period, Iran witnessed growing protests against the Iranian regime as a whole, after it started to reject the hijab in the country following the killing of Iranian Kurdish girl Mahsa Amini by the morality police three days after her arrest. The protests soon entered into the biggest challenge to the Iranian regime, which has witnessed since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, amidst the chants of death to the dictator and the overthrow of the Iranian regime.
Local Iranian reports confirmed that the Iranian regime has lost its legitimacy through unabated protests. The regime continues to demand the fall of the regime, especially following the military schism in the country and within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, whose soldiers joined the ranks of the protests.
At least 581 people have been killed in the crackdown, and at least 109 people are facing the death penalty in protest-related cases, in addition to the four who have been executed so far, according to the non-governmental organization Human Rights in Iran.
Nuclear bomb
A report published by the British newspaper, Express, confirmed that Iran is seeking to enrich its uranium stockpile to 90%, a level that would lead to a warhead inside ballistic missiles; This has led to controversy and rising tensions on both the regional and the Western fronts.
According to the paper: Just a few weeks from now until Iran’s regime gets 90% of its uranium stockpile up, the West will be forced to reassess its options for containing a controversial country that seeks to spread terrorism and weapons of mass destruction around the world.
According to informed sources, once at the nuclear threshold, Iran can bury its material 60 meters underground at the Fordow enrichment plant near Qom, which is of great concern.
Iran is currently enriching uranium to 60%, while enough to make a bomb, and it will now take Iran weeks to 90%.
Iran has enough to build a nuclear bomb
Ali Afshari, an Iran researcher and analyst, said it is true that Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb, but that is not enough to make a single bomb, not a series of bombs, a single bomb with no military significance.
The world’s nuclear powers did not depend on a single bomb, nor could such a war be fought.
There are also other reasons behind Iran’s move away from building a nuclear bomb, as it does not have the right components and lacks the necessary materials for a detonator, Afshari said.
“The history of nuclear powers shows that it takes years to make a nuclear bomb out of materials that can be used to make nuclear weapons,” he said, adding that the IAEA must listen carefully to the seriousness of the current situation.
Technically, it will now take Iran weeks for the enrichment rate to reach 90 percent, Afshari said, even as the IAEA is allowed limited access, and Tehran believes that while it is arming its nuclear program it will strengthen its position.
