Iran can produce fissile material for nuclear bomb within 2 weeks - US Report: Iran not pursuing a weapons program at this time, has the capacity to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb in less than two weeks.

“It is assessed that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time,” US Defense Department stated in a report it published on Friday called the “Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction” in 2023.

Israel has long warned that Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is a top global threat, but the US stated that when it came to weapons of mass destruction it was most concerned with China and Russia.

Those two nations “present the principle weapons of mass destruction challenge,” the report stated.

North Korea, Iran and violent extremist organizations “remain persistent regional threats that must be addressed,” the report explained.
