WASHINGTON, 27 April 2022, (TON): Press secretary Jen Psaki said “White House is worried Iran could develop a nuclear weapon in weeks.”
Psaki said “yes it definitely worries us.”
Adding “the time needed for Iran to produce a nuclear weapon is down from about a year.”
Earlier, Blinken said “the US still believes a return to a nuclear deal is the best path with Iran, amid a prolonged standoff in talks.”
Facing criticism of the deal during an appearance before Congress, Blinken called the 2015 agreement imperfect but better than the alternatives.
Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee “we continue to believe that getting back into compliance with the agreement would be the best way to address the nuclear challenge posed by Iran and to make sure that an Iran that is already acting with incredible aggression doesn’t have a nuclear weapon.”
