#473 – Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

That's 99% of the way to 90% enriched uranium.

By the way, you can make a crude nuclear device with 60% enriched uranium.

I just want to put that on the record.

But he lost that key conversion facility that turns 90% enriched uranium, or even 60% enriched uranium, into uranium metal.

You need uranium metal to fashion a crude nuclear device or a warhead.

That's been destroyed.

And when I was coming in this morning, I just checked.

I thought it was interesting.

There's been a whole lot of discussion about the fact that about 12 or 16 trucks showed up at Fordow in the days before the U.S.

strikes and moved something out of Fordow.

Well, according to reports just this morning, we'll see if they're verified.

I don't trust single sourcing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 – Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

I don't trust what some reporter just says in their stories because reporters got it wrong over and over again, especially all the ones who accuse President Trump of being a Russian agent.

But we'll see what happens.

We'll see if it's verified.

But according to the reports, most of the material remained at Fordow because the Iranians were calculating this was the most heavily fortified facility.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 – Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

They were also calculating that President Trump was not going to strike it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 – Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

Because what they had been doing was listening to lots of voices.

And we can name the voices or we can just talk to them about a collective who they thought were telling Trump, don't do it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 – Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

And we're telling Trump, don't do it.
