There is no proof that Iran is moving towards building nuclear weapons
According to Webangah News quoted by Mehr News Agency, according to NBC News, despite the media claim that Iran has decided to build nuclear weapons amid the escalation of tensions with the Zionist regime, William Burns, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, said that there is no evidence of such a decision, and further claimed that if it was, the US and its allies would most likely be able to identify it.
After Iran’s missile operation against the Zionist regime, speculations about Tel Aviv’s response have increased, while Tehran has emphasized that if the Zionist regime reacts, it will face an even stronger response.
Burns claimed that Iran advanced its nuclear program by stockpiling enriched uranium close to weapons-grade levels. As a result, it will soon be able to produce enough fissile material to make an atomic weapon!
However, in response to the claim whether Iran has made such a decision, he said: No. Today, there is no proof that Iran has changed its decision.
He continued by referring to the withdrawal of the United States from the nuclear agreement with Iran known as the JCPOA in 2018. , repeating the West’s claim about Iran’s nuclear program, claimed that Tehran “is now in a position much closer to producing a bomb”!
The director of the CIA pointed out that before the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA, Iran was able to collect enough enriched uranium. With high purity, it would take more than a year to make an atomic bomb, he claimed that “now, the escape time for Tehran was probably something like a week or a little more, and therefore the risks have increased”!
Also, by claiming close monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activity, he once again insisted on not changing Iran’s decision about the peaceful nuclear program. This country emphasized and said: Today we do not see any evidence of such a decision. We are monitoring it carefully.
After the brutal attacks of the Zionist regime against Gaza and then Lebanon, now there are reports about what “limited ground operations” In this country it is read, it is heard, the tension in the region has escalated. Burns said: We are currently facing a very serious risk of further escalation of the regional war.
According to him, although Tehran and Tel Aviv are not necessarily looking for a full-scale war, but “a risk still exists” ” Burns, despite repeating Israel’s and the West’s claims about the failure of Iran’s two missile attacks on the occupied territories (Operations of True Promise) and pointing to what he called “the limitations of Iran’s military capabilities”, emphasized: But this does not mean that those capabilities are not destructive. And this is an issue that not only Israel but America should take very seriously.
