They could have enriched up to 90 plus percent uranium-235 this whole time.

The reason they were enriching up to 60 percent was in reaction to Israeli sabotage, first of all, assassinating their nuclear scientists, and then their sabotage at Natanz.

They started enriching up to 60 percent, just like they did in the Obama years, to have a bargaining chip to negotiate away.

Under the JCPOA, they shipped out everybody

bit of their enriched uranium to France to be turned into fuel rods and then shipped back into the country to be used in their reactors.

And so they're just trying to get us back in that deal.

It is an illusion.

And I don't know exactly what's in this man's mind, but it's just not true that they're making nuclear weapons.

And it has been a lie of Benjamin Netanyahu.

and his Likud party regime, and for that matter, the Kadima regime of Ehud Olmert before him, that this is a threat that has to be preempted, when in fact, it never was anything more than a latent nuclear deterrent.

Before you ask any more questions, I have to refute virtually everything he just said, which is completely false.

I mean, Iran is a nation over there somewhere.

You got that part right.

92 million.

Okay.

So, first of all, they were trying to buy a light-water reactor from the Europeans or the Chinese in the 1990s, and Bill Clinton wouldn't let them.

And put tremendous pressure on China to prevent them from selling them a light water reactor, a turnkey reactor that produces waste that's so polluted with impurities that you can't make nuclear weapons fuel out of it.

By the way, they never have to this day had a reprocessing facility for reprocessing plutonium, even their current plutonium waste from their heavy water reactor at Boucher to make weapons fuel out of that.

I think we're going to need a scientist to come in here and split the difference, or maybe we need to go and look up some IAEA documents, because I don't believe that Iraq ever had a reprocessing facility for their plutonium waste.

And the deal under the JCPOA, the Russians would come and get all their plutonium waste, which the waste comes out all polluted and not useful.
