Mujtaba Khamenei has increased Trump’s concern, can Iran make nuclear weapons soon?

A report by the New York Times has increased the troubles of US President Donald Trump. According to the report, US intelligence agencies believe that Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei He is more keen on developing nuclear weapons than his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This assessment is based on intelligence gathered before the ongoing war between the US and Iran, including intercepted conversations. Officials say that Mujtaba Khamenei would have no hesitation in developing nuclear weapons, whereas Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a more cautious person regarding nuclear weapons.

Israel has given tension to Trump

The report says that this is not any new intelligence that has been received after Mujtaba took power, but it is an analysis of earlier information. Western intelligence agencies have long rejected Iran’s claims that it has never tried to acquire a nuclear weapon, while Israel says Tehran has engaged in efforts to develop one in recent years.

US officials now believe that groups advocating the acquisition of nuclear weapons have increased influence within Iran, believing that such weapons are necessary to deter future attacks. ‘The Wall Street Journal’ reports that Israel believes Iran has moved thousands of centrifuges to a highly secure underground site near Natanz, known as ‘Pickaxe Mountain’. This place is built very deep in the ground, so it is difficult to target it in air strikes. It is not yet clear from where the centrifuge was transported there.

The IAEA estimates that before the war between Iran and the United States, Iran had accumulated more than 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity. This level of uranium is close to weapons grade and, if further enriched, could be sufficient for many nuclear weapons. Experts say Iran will still need to enrich uranium to 90%, create a workable warhead and develop a delivery system. This process may take months or more and will be closely monitored by American and Israeli intelligence agencies.
