On February 10th, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran had taken major steps toward the construction of atomic weapons, stressing that these violations of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are reversible.
Tehran demands from Washington to lift the sanctions against it, and salvage the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran Nuclear Deal), after the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew the US from the nuclear agreement in 2018.
Inspectors confirmed that Iran has produced a small amount of uranium metal, a component that can be used in a nuclear weapon the UN watchdog was cited by AP.
“Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi today informed IAEA Member States about recent developments regarding Iran’s R&D activities on uranium metal production as part of its stated aim to produce fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor,” the report said.
According to the statement, Iran has produced 3.6 grams of uranium metal at its Fuel Plate Fabrication Plant (FPFP) in Esfahan.
Uranium metal is typically produced from a low-enriched uranium isotope mixture that remains after enrichment. This material can be used both as fuel for atomic reactors producing energy and for nuclear weapons, in particular in the shell of a nuclear warhead.
This is a breach of the Iran Nuclear Deal. Under it, Tehran is committed to not engaging in the production of uranium metal or conducting research and development on uranium metallurgy for 15 years.
Iran began to incrementally derogate from its obligations under the treaty.
It radically changed its approach in response to the assassination of Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh blamed on Israel and the US.
Tehran passed a law in December 2020 that includes increasing uranium enrichment and suspending UN inspections of its nuclear plants starting 21 February, if sanctions are not removed.
In addition, in January, Tehran announced its intention to conduct research related to the production of uranium metal, noting that it would be related to the development of an improved type of fuel for power plants.
This vow has provided a result now.
In a joint statement last month, European foreign ministers warned there was no credible civilian use for the material.
“The production of uranium metal has potentially grave military implications,” said the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany.
“We strongly urge Iran to halt this activity, and return to compliance with its JCPOA commitments without further delay if it is serious about preserving the deal,” said the ministers.
Seeking to increase pressure on the Biden administration, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warned on February 10th that “the existing window is closing” for the US to adopt a “new approach” toward Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran’s intelligence minister warned Tehran could push for nuclear weapons if international sanctions on Tehran remain in place. The remarks by Mahmoud Alavi marked a rare occasion that a government official said Iran could move toward nuclear weapons, which Tehran has denied seeking.
Israeli officials haven’t made a mention yet, but they have vowed, more than once, that they would strike Iranian nuclear facilities if the US were to rejoin the deal, or Tehran moves towards producing a nuclear weapon.

So what the fuck is anyone going to do about NADA! BTW, Iran has introduced a new light weight MASAF Assault Rifle for Artesh and newer Misagh 3 manpads that have been shooting down Zionist drones like flies.
The weapons, designed and manufactured by Iranian experts, include Fajr-5 guided rocket, Misaq-3 shoulder-launched assault weapon, a 40-mm grenade launcher and advanced ammunition, Masaf rifle with 5.56×45 mm rounds, and a national pistol.

these things are actually super deadly supression and ambush weapons
never seen or fired a masaf
It is new, will replace the G-3 which is going to Basij. The Sepah have AK-103 as their main rifle.
sepah doesnt use american origined design for rifle as standard armament that i know for sure
Iran captured many M-16 and M-4 in the region, but found US weapons useless.
nohed is using american weapons and so does the artesh in general but rest of forces are not going to have it for sure
i know for a fact that nohed wanted to even buy m4 carabine rifles before the jcpoa was signed
akm and ak 103 is what they have right now but iam pretty sure it will soon enough move towards someting new aswell
Russian AK family is very good for asymmetrical warfare. They won from Korea to South Africa. Hezbollah uses a mix of Russian, Iranian and even captured Zionist and US weapons.
russian rifles ak are high rate of fire german g3 are precision and american m16 are soft and easy to use even for dumb people such as they are
Most people trained on the G-3 which was pretty much the standard Artesh issue till 2000, and then new assault rifles and small arms started coming out.
still usually when you go firing range you can see atleast one guy who is nuts having a huge collection and has connection to producers to get them cheap and soon and its mostly like the son of some high level pasdar who himself is pasdar and atleast fought on the border against terrorists or in iraq against daesh
if you want to fire taher for example which is very nice and soft for a sniper rifle than again the pasdars but if you want a copy of a msg1 than its probably out of your hand to test fire because that is what you find in artesh special forces and the same is nowadays the case with alot of weapons originating from west
i was told that nohed is the force which is in artesh behind the weapons origin from design and they basically said what they wanted to have reverse engineered
My birthday’s coming up …
How about Germany, France and Britain start to honour their end of the JCPOA agreement. Makes one truly wonder if those UK puppy states know just how ridiculous and stupid they appear to the informed population; obviously not.
It really does not matter anymore if the dumbass Jew controlled US losers rejoin the JCPOA, Iran is now a full fledged member of the nuclear club and five times more powerful militarily as in 2015. Just watch this space for next couple of years.
they will push iran towards nuclear weapon and the zionists will say i told you so and suicide themselves into irans direction
Iran continues to show the world clarity and honesty, as opposed to apartheid regimes like Isisrahell who continue to hide their nuclear weapons from the world, from this we understand who’s who.
if iran will be pushed towards nuclear weapons than it will first have a fatwa who allows it so it will be open to the world
iran will also at that time have a rule on how to use nuclear weapons and it probably cant be allowed as a weapon of mass murder but as an emp strike weapon it will probably be normalized also as tactical weapon against military targets
Iran honoured all its commitments but the US under Zionist pressure broke a globally negotiated agreement. US once again displayed bad faith and its twisted hypocritical ugly face. US and the British are devious two faced liars who have backstabbed just about everyone.
I suppose a few Iranian ballistic missiles falling on Dimona would cause a nuclear fireball, BUT the response to Western hysteria from Iran should be, ” But, but , the Israeli’s have told the world many times that they do not possess any nuclear weapons and we naturally believed Israel.
Surely it would be anti-semitic for Iran to call Israel, liars and cheats :)
6-12 months til the zionists will go nuts and try suicide forward
2022 is the year the zionist collapse is either certain for all to see or the zionist usurper entity gets wiped out
What!? I thought “sand-niggers” couldn’t build anything!!?
inevitable
Of course, as long as Israel has nuclear weapons, so should Iran. Equality in weapons is necessary for Israel to stop its terrorist activities.
why should iran comply while nato countries especially usa have not even held up their part of the deal, plus isreal has undeclared nukes and never would it allow inspections, plus did not trumpet sign a deal to xfer nuclear tech to SA.
