Iran Increases Uranium Enrichment; Ramps Up Production of Weapons to Hezbollah.

Biden's inaction is causing serious problems

According to numerous experts, Iran has increased its uranium enrichment – and nears the magic 90% needed for nuclear weapons. They were enriching about 3 kilograms somewhere around June, but now are enriching 9 kilograms per month. Add to that their ramping up of ‘precision weapons’ to Hezbollah. Iran is also threatening to “close the Mediterranean Sea” and waterways attached to it. At this point, they are more than just a state that sponsors terrorists. They are the head of the Medusa and need to have that snaky head lopped off.

Enriching uranium means increasing the percentage of uranium-235, the isotope of uranium that can be used in nuclear fission.

Weapons require 90% purity, but the level Iran has reached far exceeds the 20% it produced prior to the 2015 nuclear deal, meaning the country has far exceeded the 3.67% cap the deal had mandated. Iran gradually abandoned those limits after the U.S. withdrew from the accord and imposed sanctions.

If enriched further, Iran could make three nuclear bombs, according to the IAEA’s theoretical definition, and more at lower enrichment levels, Reuters reports. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons and has maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful with treating and preventing the spread of cancer as one of its objectives.” (Fox)

As of Thursday, Iran-supported Hezbollah launched 50 rockets and missiles at Israel. The IDF responded with “widespread” strikes in Southern Lebanon on Hezbollah targets. As the world wrings its hands and complains about the “possibility” of a widening war…it’s already happened, thanks to Iranian involvement.

“Iran mobilized to transfer ammunition and munitions to Hezbollah as part of preparations for a broad confrontation in the north. The Iranians are accelerating the supply of munitions to the Lebanese terrorist organization and are trying to transfer precision munitions, mainly rockets, missiles, and drones designed to hit the Israeli home front and sensitive facilities in Israel…

The frequent attacks attributed to Israel in Syria in recent days – most of them aimed at thwarting Iranian shipments intended to increase the number of precision missiles, anti-tank missiles that the Iranians are trying to transfer in large quantities – and anti-drone interception systems. These interceptor missiles, which the Iranians call “358 missiles,” and in the West and Israel SA-67, are designed against low-flying aircraft, helicopters, drones, and short-range missiles.” YNET

When you factor in over 100 attacks on US forces in the region by Iranian-backed proxies, and the attacks by Houthis on international shipping, an ever-widening conflict is probably inevitable. Israel already fights on about 7 fronts. “Diplomacy” is lost on terrorists.  They want their way and are not in favor of doing anything else unless it gives them time to regroup and revamp. Then they will be back to their ordinary ways of attacking Israel and the US. From uranium enrichment to sending more weapons to terrorists Iran is a worsening problem.
