I'm John Batch with Richard Goldberg, the foundation for the defensive democracies,

writing most recently of the attack on Jerusalem, on the people of Israel, by Iran. A headline

in the London Telegraph, Iran shuts nuclear facilities and cancels inspection amid fears of Israeli

attack.

Richard Goldberg, help me understand where Iran's suspect nuclear weapons program is.

We've talked about it over the years.

The last time I recall, they were at a point 60% or so

where they could make a bomb quickly.

Can they also miniaturize a bomb quickly?

Thank you.

That is the part we don't have great insight on.

Imagine we have the car factory, right, and the assembly line that has been built and perfected

and continues to be perfected and modernized every single day.

That's mostly what we see on display from the Islamic Republic of Iran and multiple facilities

where we've seen the manufacture and perfect advanced centrifuges, figure out how to put them together in a

certain way to ensure they can make very quickly high-enriched uranium all the way

up potentially to weapons grade. We saw them got caught making 84% high-enriched

uranium. Last year we know they on a daily basis produced 60% high-enriched

uranium which is 90% of the way to weapons grade already.

We know that they have worked on uranium metal that's been reported on, key components of nuclear

weapons.

So, you know, the, and obviously the delivery vehicles
