U.S. Energy Secretary Warns Iran Nears Nuclear Weapon Capability Amid Tensions
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has issued a warning that Iran is alarmingly close to developing a nuclear weapon. During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Wright stated that Iran is only weeks away from enriching a ton of uranium to weapons-grade level. This development follows a period of heightened military activity, with the United States and Israel conducting 40 days of strikes against Iran. Despite these efforts, Iran's uranium enrichment continues, with stockpiles reaching up to 60% enrichment. Wright emphasized that while reaching weapons-grade uranium is a significant step, further weaponization processes are required to complete a nuclear weapon. The situation remains tense, with Iran threatening to increase enrichment to 90% if pressures persist.
