Iran is developing its nuclear program, and the Biden administration stands idly by

The President of the American International Council for the Middle East, Majid Rafiqzadeh, sees in a report published by the American "Gatestone Institute", that the administration of US President Joe Biden is standing idly by while Iran's rulers continue to develop their nuclear program and push it forward.
For about a year and a half, the "5+1" group (the United States, Britain, China, Russia, France, in addition to Germany) conducted fruitless negotiations with Iran, and throughout this time the religious establishment in Iran clearly succeeded in accelerating the pace of Its nuclear program, by increasing the rate of uranium enrichment from 20% to 60%, the production of uranium metal, and the installation of additional advanced centrifuges.
After agreeing to expand the IAEA's monitoring mechanism, by re-installing surveillance cameras a year ago, Iran then announced that it would not allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to see the images captured by these cameras.
to reject
Most importantly, said Rafiqzadeh, a member of the Harvard International Review's board of directors, last month the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that Iran now had enough enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb.
The Iranian regime also refuses to answer the International Atomic Energy Agency's questions about uranium particles that were found in three undisclosed secret nuclear sites in Iran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said, "Iran has not provided technically reliable explanations regarding what the agency found at these sites...the agency remains ready to engage without delay with Iran to resolve all these matters."
warning
In November 2021, the Institute for Science and International Security warned that “Iran has enough enriched uranium hexafluoride in the form of uranium enriched at close to 20% and 60% to produce enough weapons-grade uranium.”
"Iran can do this without using any of its stockpile of uranium enriched up to 5% as a feedstock," the institute added.
"Increasing Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium at rates close to 20% and 60% has seriously reduced the time period for making a nuclear weapon," he added.
However, the Biden administration has yet to take any concrete action to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state, despite these alarming reports, and even though a joint statement issued by the United Kingdom, France and Germany acknowledged that “Iran does not have a credible civilian need for uranium metal for research. development and production, and this is a major step in developing a nuclear weapon.”
Rafiqzadeh said that the Biden administration would do well to understand that if the Islamic Republic becomes a nuclear state, there is the dangerous possibility that nuclear weapons will fall into the hands of Iran's proxies and terrorist militias, or that the Iranian regime will share its nuclear technology with these groups. Not to mention the nuclear arms race that will be launched in the region.
The Iranian regime is also constructing weapons factories abroad, and manufacturing ballistic missiles and weapons, including precision-guided missiles with advanced technology, to strike certain targets in other countries, including in Syria.
The most recent report of the UN Security Council Committee of Experts on Yemen this year revealed that the Houthis in Yemen obtain a large amount of weapons from the Iranian regime.
"There is a growing body of evidence indicating that individuals and entities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are providing huge quantities of weapons and components to the Houthis," the report said.
It is known that, for years, the US State Department classified the Iranian regime as a "state sponsor of terrorism."
One of the regime's diplomats, Assadollah Assadi, was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison, who is being tried in Europe for a failed plot to carry out a terrorist bombing in Paris, during which a gathering of "Free Iran" was targeted.
Several countries, including Kuwait, arrested cells of Iranian spies, who were trying to infiltrate its territory, and it was found that Iran uses its embassies and diplomats in foreign countries for such purposes.
Perhaps the Biden administration will understand that the Iranian regime is revolutionary, giving priority to achieving its revolutionary ideals, and these ideals are to export its ideology and system of government to other countries around the world.
In fact, the regime included this dangerous task in Iran’s constitution, and the preamble states that “the task of the constitution is to create conditions that will lead to human development in accordance with the noble and universal values of (Shiite) Islam.”
The constitution goes on to say that it "provides the necessary basis to ensure the continuation of the revolution at home and abroad."
In the very near future, the Biden administration's approach of appeasing Iran's rulers and its wait-and-see policy will result in the world's survival in the presence of a dangerous, nuclear-armed Iran.
Rafiqzadeh concluded his report by saying that if the Biden administration moved to eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons, it would not only rid the world of another cruel and ruthless regime that behaves tyrannically at home and abroad, but would also prompt Biden's popularity in the polls.
Increasing Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium to levels close to 20% and 60% has seriously reduced the time period for building a nuclear weapon.
If the Biden administration moves to eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons, that move will not only rid the world of another autocratic regime, but also immediately lead to Biden's popularity in the polls rising.
The Biden administration has not yet taken any concrete action to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state despite the publication of a number of dangerous reports.
