Netanyahu Warns UN That Iran Will Have Enough Enriched Uranium For Two Nuclear Weapons


Netanyahu warns Iran will soon have enough enriched uranium for two nuclear weapons during UN address



Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly that Iran will have enough nuclear material to produce two bombs in just a matter of months.

Netanyahu delivered his annual address before the General Assembly on Tuesday and used the platform to criticize the “shameful” 2015 Iran nuclear deal and call on the international community to stand against Iranian nuclear pursuits. He pointed out that he was the leading dissenter of the deal, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

“I opposed it because the nuclear deal did not block Iran’s path to the bomb. It actually paved its way to it. I opposed it because the deal’s restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program were only temporary and were no way tied to Iran’s change of behavior,” Netanyahu said

“Now, Iran has violated even those temporary restrictions,” the prime minister continued. “Because of these violations, Iran will have enough enriched uranium in a few months for two nuclear bombs.”
