Middle East Monitor: US: Iran close to having enough material to make nuke
Iran could obtain enough material to create a nuclear bomb within a matter of weeks, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken cautioned Monday, Anadolu Agency reported.
Blinken, in an interview with NBC News taped Sunday, said Tehran is "a matter of weeks" away from crossing the threshold if it continues to step back from its commitments under the 2015 nuclear pact it struck with world powers.

Here we go. Another broken record.
Israel might be able to reach out and touch important scientist and equipment, but are they so good to know exact amounts of uranium processed? Iranians have reason to overstate to scare people and understate to fool them as to exact break out.
