Iran nuclear

Dr. Lynette Nusbacher told The Jerusalem Post that the US prepared for targeted air strikes if Tehran failed to negotiate in good faith, as Iran sought an interim deal to shield its missile program.

According to Kahana, the Iranian missiles have a warhead of about half a ton of explosives, and "if you take 30,000 such missiles, it is equivalent to the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima."

Reported targets of the strikes could include the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran’s nuclear sites, or its ballistic missile program.

Reuters reported for the first time that Iran is offering fresh concessions since its talks ended last week, when the sides appeared far apart and were heading toward military conflict.

"The negotiations continue and the possibility of reaching an interim agreement exists," the official said.

The potential concession would test the limits of longstanding US demands that Iran’s nuclear program not leave any possible path to a bomb.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is not offering a suspension of nuclear enrichment and claimed the US has not asked them to do so during an MS NOW interview.

The latest revelations reported on by Reuters suggest granular, ambitious planning ahead of a decision by Trump, who has in recent days publicly floated the idea of regime change in Iran.

The extensive and expanding Iranian ballistic missile arsenal is today’s clear and present danger – as is the funding for Tehran’s network of terror proxies.

If the Islamic Republic can weather the blows of the US military and merely remain standing at the end of a Trump presidency, it believes time will be on its side.
