Witkoff warns Iran is ‘a week away’ from 'bomb-making material' as Trump weighs action
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has warned that Iran may soon have the capability to produce industrial-grade bomb-making material, prompting discussions regarding President Trump's potential responses.
On Saturday, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff raised alarm over Iran's nuclear capabilities, indicating that the country could be just days away from acquiring industrial-grade bomb-making material. Witkoff reported that Iran's uranium enrichment levels have reached up to 60%, which he argued exceeds the requirements for any civil nuclear program and poses a significant threat. This information has become especially critical as it suggests that Iran is on the cusp of violating President Trump’s stated 'zero enrichment' policy.
During an appearance on 'My View with Lara Trump', Witkoff emphasized the urgency of the situation and called for Iran to adhere strictly to agreements until they can demonstrate compliance and responsible behavior. He expressed concern about Iran’s defiance and questioned why the regime has not changed its course despite increased U.S. pressure and military presence in the region, suggesting that the threat remains potent as Iran continues to pursue its nuclear ambitions.
The discussion also reflects a broader context of geopolitical tension surrounding Iran's nuclear program, similar to previous conflicts involving U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. As President Trump considers his next moves, the debate over how best to respond to Iran's actions looms large, with implications for regional stability and U.S. security interests. Witkoff's assertions have ignited discussions about potential military or diplomatic strategies that the Trump administration could adopt in response to this emerging threat.
