Continuing fear-mongering around Iran’s nuclear program with seemingly deliberately misleading claims, former IAEA inspector David Albright has claimed the breakout time for Iran is “now zero” and that they have enough high-enriched uranium to build a nuclear weapon.
This is a step up from previous claims, equally wrong, that Iran is “weeks away” from breakout. In both cases, the claims are wildly misleading, as Iran has no weapons-grade uranium at all, and never made an attempt to produce any.
It would be just as accurate to say Iran’s breakout time is the same as every other nation with an extant nuclear program and no weapons-grade uranium. It’s not square one, but it is very wrong to suggest weaponization is imminent.
Albright concedes that he doesn’t know how long it would take Iran to make weapons, if it tried to do so. He considered a crude explosive could be made in “less than six months.”
Even that is just a guess. These scary predictions rest on Iran trying to do something they plainly are not doing, and have publicly ruled out doing.
So this is like just his opinion. He presents no evidence?
Who is the nuclear engineer?
David Albright is a fully owned Israeli hack. What he says has nothing to do with any professional qualifications (he has none) and everything to do with what the Israelis want said.
His professional qualifications include masters degrees in physics and in mathematics.His integrity holds until it is disproven.
Yes, but Mark said that his opinions are not related to his qualifications … you understand? One can be qualified but still be a paid shill.
READ what he wrote—“any professional qualifications(he has none).
He said he believed that a program of intense pressure on Iran would be the only way to prevent it building nuclear weapons, and that more support was needed for Israel and other allied countries in the Middle East so that they could “push harder against Iran.”
Sounds more like he has an agenda that doesn’t have anything to do with his “professional qualifications”.
False. As Scott Ritter has written of him, “he exploits this misleading biographical data in his ongoing effort to insert himself into the public eye as a nuclear weapons expert, a title not supported by anything in his life experience.” and “lacking in any demonstrable foundation of expertise has installed himself into the mainstream media in a manner that corrupts the public discourse and debate by propagating factually incorrect, illogical and misleading information.”

Scott Ritter may or may not be right,but he has issues of his own.
Correct. He’s been the lead BS artist on Iran for decades.
What is this guy’s last name? Any relation to the killer b*tch?
Har, VLP! I was thinking the same thing; what is it about the name “Albright” that makes one an a**hole? 😆
The Zionist Paid Thug cannot keep his mouth shut…!
Not a bad place to be: lots of fissile material, but not moving to weaponize YET. The point being, don’t push me!
The author missed mentioning the IAEA chief Rafael Grossi visit to Israel today ahead of the Monday meeting of the IAEA Board members…! What else proof do you need to label him an Israeli agent…?!!!
David Albright is a terrorist .His method of destruction is different.
