U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a warning about Iran's potential to produce fissile nuclear material within a matter of weeks. This comes as the State Department extends a sanctions waiver for Iraq to purchase Iranian energy, a move that has drawn criticism towards the Biden administration for allegedly enabling Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Blinken, speaking at the Aspen Security Forum, acknowledged Iran's accelerated nuclear development, attributing it to the collapse of the Iran Nuclear Deal. He emphasized that while there is no evidence of Iran possessing a nuclear weapon, the country is dangerously close to producing fissile material.
