Obama's ticking disaster already too late to stop?
Started by Robert M
Barack
Obama stunned the world when he made what is now largely considered one
of the most disastrous decisions of his presidency.
And now comes the unnerving warning that the ticking time bomb he helped create is about to blow ... Iran's nuclear timetable ... right now!Obama allowing Tehran to enrich uranium, stockpile ingredients
NEW
YORK – Amid the disclosure this week that the Obama administration has
allowed Iran to continue secret efforts to enrich uranium and stockpile
the heavy water needed to produce a plutonium nuclear weapon, a leading
expert on the Iranian nuclear program remains concerned that Tehran
could build a deliverable atomic bomb now.
“I believe Iran already has a nuclear weapons capability,” Clare Lopez, a former CIA career operations officer who serves as t..., told WND.
Lopez noted that five years ago the International Atomic Energy Agency published a report on Iran’s... that listed the various technical components in a nuclear weapon that Iran had under development.
“We
know for a fact that Iran already has the nuclear-capable missiles,
including nose cones configured to carry nuclear weapons,” she said. “We
also know that the IAEA years ago reported that Iran was working on
forming the hemispheres of a bomb, as well as experiments testing the
explosive charges required to set off a nuclear reaction implosion
sequence.”
On Tuesday,
Iranian officials announced the country is preparing to launch into
space three new satellites, prompting U.S. defense experts to speculate
the Iranian satellite program is a cover for pursuing illicit
intercontinental ballistic missile technology the Islamic Republic could
use to deliver a nuclear weapon over long distances.
Help from North Korea
Lopez pointed out that Iran could easily obtain nuclear weapons technology from North Korea.
“We
have documented evidence Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
(IRGC) officials have attended North Korean ballistic missile and
nuclear tests,” she stressed. “Further, North Korea has offered for sale
virtually any technology the country has ever developed.”
On
March 10, 2016, retired Admiral William E. Gortney, former commander,
United States Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense
Command, testified about North Korea’s nuclear weapons capabilities
before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“North
Korea’s recent hostile cyberspace activity, nuclear testing, and
continued ballistic missile development represent a dangerous threat to
our national security,” Gortney told the committee in his prepared
remarks. “North Korea’s recent nuclear test and satellite launch
demonstrate Kim Jong Un’s commitment to developing strategic
capabilities, as well as his disregard for United Nations Security
Council resolutions.
He
said the North Korean communist regime’s “efforts to develop and deploy
the road-mobile KN08 ICBM have profound implications for homeland
missile defense, primarily because the missile obviates most of the
pre-launch indicators on which we have traditionally relied to posture
our defenses.”
“While
the KN08 remains untested, modeling suggests it could deliver a nuclear
payload to much of the continental United States,” Gortney continued.
The Washington Free Beacon reported in March 2015 Iran
is believed to be hiding the development of nuclear weapons technology
at a mountain military base in North Korea near the Chinese border as
part of a technical cooperation pact signed by Iran and North Korea in Septem....
Iran ICBM capable by 2020
Gortney also testified that he remained concerned about Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
“Iran
poses multiple significant security concerns to the United States, and I
remain wary of its strategic trajectory. Last year’s conclusion of the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was a welcome development, but,
Iran’s continuing pursuit of long-range missile capabilities and
ballistic missile and space launch programs, in violation of United
Nations Security Council resolutions, remains a serious concern,”
Gortney said.
“Iran
has successfully orbited satellites using a first- generation space
launch vehicle and announced plans to orbit a larger satellite using its
ICBM- class booster as early as this year,” he continued. “In light of
these advances, we assess Iran may be able to deploy an operational ICBM
by 2020 if the regime chooses to do so.”
Lopez
also explained she was concerned that North Korea might share with Iran
the technology necessary to launch successfully an electro-magnetic
pulse (EMP) attack against the U.S., even before Iran had an ICBM
capable of hitting the continental United States.
On April 24,
WND reported that North Korea now has two satellites orbiting over the
United States capable of performing a surprise EMP attack at an altitude
and trajectory that evade U.S. National Missile Defenses.
An
EMP could be triggered by a nuclear weapon detonated at high altitude.
The pulse could knock out the U.S. national electrical grid system and
all life-sustaining critical infrastructures, including the Internet.
