This news comes as President Joe Biden\u2019s administration has failed to secure a new nuclear agreement with Iran and has failed to stop Iran from continuing to develop its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<h3>Israel Defense Minister Warns Iran<\/h3>\n<p>Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said during a trip to Greece on Thursday that Iran would \u201cnot be satisfied by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-report-that-iran-can-build-5-nuclear-bombs-top-biden-adviser-calls-for-resumption-of-talks-with-regime\/\" title=\"Biden adviser urges talks with Iran after report of 5 nuclear bombs capability.\">single nuclear bomb<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has already accumulated enough enriched uranium at the 20% and 60% levels for five nuclear bombs,\u201d he said. \u201cIf Iran enriches to the 90% weaponized level, it would be a great error and the price would be heavy, and there would be consequences which could inflame the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Enriching Uranium<\/h3>\n<p>Uranium found in nature only contains 0.7% uranium-235 (U-235), which is needed to create the chain reaction that causes a nuclear explosion, the remaining 99.3% is uranium-238 (U-238). Scientists use centrifuges to separate the two isotopes and the remaining U-235 is taken and then further enriched to either be used for energy production, medical purposes, or nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>To make a nuclear weapon, scientists need to enrich uranium to 90%, however, enriching uranium to just 20% represents a major threat because \u201cenriching uranium to 20% represents about 90% of the effort needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-now-has-enough-enriched-uranium-to-produce-5-nuclear-weapons-israeli-defense-minister\/\" title=\"Iran has enough enriched uranium for 5 nuclear weapons, says Israeli Defense Minister.\">produce weapons grade fissile material<\/a>,\u201d said the Center For Arms Control And Non-Proliferation. \u201cOnce a proliferator reaches this threshold, it could be ready to weaponize in a relatively short time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Israel Prime Minister Warns of Geopolitical Changes<\/h3>\n<p>Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said on Thursday that a nuclear Iran could fundamentally change geopolitics forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have Iran being able to threaten every city in the United States with nuclear blackmail is a changing of history,\u201d Netanyahu told a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers. \u201cIran is 50 North Koreas. It is not merely a neighborhood bully like the dynasty that rules North Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an ideological force that views us, Israel, as the small Satan and views you as the Great Satan,\u201d Netanyahu told U.S. lawmakers.<\/p>\n<h3>Biden Administration&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan claimed this week that despite the Biden administration\u2019s failures on Iran, the administration \u201cmade clear to Iran that it can never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs President [Joe] Biden has repeatedly reaffirmed, he will take the actions necessary to stand by this statement, including by recognizing Israel\u2019s freedom of action,\u201d Sullivan said.\u00a0\u201cThis is an issue that occupies the president\u2019s attention, my attention, on a daily basis. Iran\u2019s program has advanced considerably. It is a genuine danger to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-faces-first-main-foreign-policy-test-within-georgia\/\" title=\"Biden Faces First Main Foreign Policy Test within Georgia\">regional security<\/a> and to global security, and, indeed, to the United States of America. And we are going to continue to take action to, yes, deter Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and then to seek a diplomatic solution that puts this on a long-term pathway of stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Takeaway:<\/b> Israel warns that Iran has enough enriched uranium to produce five nuclear weapons, and that a nuclear Iran could fundamentally change geopolitics forever. The Biden administration has failed to secure a new nuclear agreement with Iran and has failed to stop Iran from continuing to develop its nuclear program. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Islamic Republic of Iran reportedly has enough enriched uranium to produce five nuclear weapons, a top Israeli official warned this week.
