It appears the Donald Trump administration is favoring an assessment from Israeli intelligence that Iran could obtain a nuclear weapon in as little as 15 days. Portions of the US intelligence community say Tehran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, and would be at least a year away…
This is just so utterly absurd. “15 days”? With no testing? Fuck off. Anyone who believes this, has obviously never heard of North Korea, who’s been struggling with their nuclear program for decades. This technology is not easy or simple. You need to test these weapons in order to ensure your processes and tolerances are correct.
No testing means no bomb. So, until they confirm that Iran has set off a few ground tests, there is no conceivable way they will have a functional weapon ready for deployment, any time soon.
