  No it's NOT a fact.  It's a CLAIM.   And a really stupid one at that.

Again ... try to let this sink in ... medical uranium is enriched to less than 20%.  There is ZERO reason to further enrich medical uranium to 60%.   To try to claim that is moronic.   They were making weapons grade uranium.

Well I guess you will have to read the IAEA's report on this for verification. Have fun.

The weapons pointed at it.

I don't think Russia is contained, hence the wrong postcode part.

Does Russia's nuclear arsenal keep America contained?

Im apt to ponder thats a negative.

There are different levels of containment Flyers. 

Nukes might stop them from going too far, but they dont stop socalled superpowers from moving pieces around the game board.

They found 60-% enriched uranium.
Civilian uses only need 3%
They said Iran is one step away from nuclear weapons grade uranium.

  ​​​​​​​

And how many kilograms of 60% enriched uranium did Iran possess?

Wasnt it enough for 11 warheads

Quote:you saying they don't is another lame manipulation tactic.

It's not 'manipulation' to highlight an extremely ignorant quote you made -
"Which country isn't vowing to destroy America, except Israel?"
And laugh at it because it's so stupid.

There are 195 countries in the world.  You just claimed that they all, except 
Israel, have vowed to destroy us.    

  PROVE IT.   Good luck with that.

You made me laugh out loud there

Google AI Assist - As of mid-2025, Iran held approximately 440–460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity. This high-enrichment stockpile, largely stored in, or having survived from, underground facilities near Isfahan and Fordow, is considered capable of being converted to weapons-grade (90%) within weeks

You two are chasing after whatifs when this is what Pakistan is doing as a 'for sure':

"The U.S. intelligence community assesses that Pakistan is researching and developing missile delivery systems with both nuclear and conventional payloads that could place the United States within range."

And what is the USA doing about it? Nadda.

To a point, yes.
And it keeps us contained from using nuclear weapons.
Diplomacy helps keep it contained.
Same with North Korea.
They mouth off from time to time, but are contained.

Iran is not contained.
As evidenced by 47 years of them attacking us and our interests and allies.

Ground News is good for its ability to reduce some of the media echo chambers.

But even then, it is still selective to a point.
