As the War that “Will be over in a week or two” enters it’s 3rd Month, How much longer will US troops be there?

[kyzr]

Sure it is because the longer this goes on, the worse the pain on American families.

The "pain" is still less that Biden's $5 gas. We're in a war over nuclear weapons, we need to endure some pain for national security. If you democrats win the mid-terms you can deal with Trump as you wish. Trump is being presidential looking at the big picture even though it is a political loser.

Who gives a **** about Iran’s economy?

We do. Its how we win the war.

And this helps Americans how?

Iran not being allowed to sell oil helps Americans by winning the war.

No. You need to at least try to be honest. I don’t think you can.

I am being honest. We are at war with Iran over their nuclear weapons program.

They were nowhere near getting either so it’s a dumb-ass question asked by a dumbfuk.

That is a lie.
Iran has all of the enriched uranium needed to make 11 A-bombs in a week to 10-days.

Iran claimed to have enough uranium for 11 nuclear bombs, US envoy Witkoff says

“The 60% material, Sean, can be brought to 90%, that’s weapons-grade, in roughly one week, maybe 10 days at the outside. The 20% can be brought to weapons-grade inside of three to four weeks.”
“They were proud of it,” Witkoff went on. “They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.”

President Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that Iranian negotiators said Iran had the "inalienable right to enrich all their nuclear fuel."

Status of Iran's nuclear facilities remain unclear as attacks continue

ALL very well said. Thank you.

Same were Iranians. They not just prohibited nuclear weapons, their theocratic elites declared it sin. And Brazil is seeking possibility (or at least thinking about it) of making nuclear weapons for the very simple and obvious reason - because it's the only thing that potentially can deter Americans who see the whole Western Hemisphere as their backyard. If Brazilians want to be independent and wealthy (and they can become wealthy only if they are really independent) - they need nukes. Nuclear Brazil, potentially, is much more dangerous for the USA than nuclear Iran (at least because it's much closer), but both of them will be able to play only Minimal Deterrence (insurance from direct invasion and/or regime change). Given the lack of international inspections in Brazil, we can be sure that they have much more highly enriched Uranium and much more close to production of bigger amounts of nuclear bombs.
And the fact, that you attacked Iran, not Brazil, just prove that it's not about safety of the USA. It's all about oil and gas, in the best case.

The US has no designs on capturing Brazil.
Brazil has nothing to fear from the US.
Nukes do not make you wealthy, they are expensive for a weapon that you never use.
Your logic falls flat here in this hemisphere.

Iran has enough enriched uranium to make 11 bombs in a week to 10 days.
All that has to happen is the leader to say "make the bombs".
That is an "imminent threat" to the US.

Really? Brazilians do remember operation "Brother Sam", US-led regime change in Brazil, they do suffer from your Neo-colonialistic policy, they do understand that America can attack defenseless countries without any practical reason, say nothing about robbering Latin countries if they have anything profitable.

Nukes do not make you wealthy, they are expensive for a weapon that you never use.

If they don't have good weapons - Americans will come and steal anything profitable they have. Good weapons don't guarantee wealth, but lack of good weapons guarantee poverty.

Iran has enough enriched uranium to make 11 bombs in a week to 10 days.

Brazil has more. And no, Iran needs more time to make nuclear weapons industry.

All that has to happen is the leader to say "make the bombs".

Hey, ayatollahs are not magicians who can do it just by words. They need to build the whole freaking industry.

That is an "imminent threat" to the US.

Bla-bla-bla. You call Iran "imminent threat", but Brazil is much more close to producing nuclear bombs. May be, they still have their old bomb-making industry.

The Risks—and One Major Opportunity—Trump Presents to Brazil

Brasília hopes to position itself as a constructive and autonomous voice as the international system grows more contested.

Not true. The US is at war with drug cartels that kill 100,000 Americans a year.
Brazil is not a significant drug trafficker.

Brazil has more. And no, Iran needs more time to make nuclear weapons industry.

Brazil is not a threat to the US. No worries.

Hey, ayatollahs are not magicians who can do it just by words. They need to build the whole freaking industry.

Iran has fissile material, a week or two away from bomb grade. That is an "imminent threat".

Bla-bla-bla. You call Iran "imminent threat", but Brazil is much more close to producing nuclear bombs. May be, they still have their old bomb-making industry.

So what? Brazil is not a threat to the US. The US is not threatening Brazil.

Thats already happening here. Your view is that we should continue this?

It must continue until all the US demands have been met.

AI Overview



Based on 2026 assessments, if Iran already possessed sufficient weapons-grade uranium (90% enriched), it could potentially build a nuclear bomb in as little as a few weeks to a few months. [1, 2, 3]
While producing the weapons-grade material (breakout) is the longest pole in the tent, transforming that material into a deliverable weapon is a separate weaponization process. [1, 2]

Key Factors and Timelines

• Weaponization Steps (Post-Enrichment): Once Iran has 90% weapons-grade uranium in gas form (UF6), it must convert it into metal, cast it, machine it, and integrate it with high explosives and triggering systems, notes.
• Estimated Timeline: Experts estimate that after securing the material, creating a deliverable warhead could take up to one year, although a cruder, non-deliverable device might be produced within three to eight months. Other analyses suggest that leveraging prior designs (similar to China's early tests), Iran could complete a crude device in three to five weeks.
• 2026 Context: By early 2026, it was estimated that Iran could reach the 90% threshold for their first bomb in as little as one week, with enough 60% enriched material in storage for multiple bombs, say reports like this from.
• "Threshold" State: As of early 2026, Iran was viewed as a "threshold" state, meaning it has the technical know-how for weaponization but has not yet officially been confirmed to have restarted a full, organized, and clandestine weapons program. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Distinguishing Breakout from Weaponization
It is important to distinguish two distinct steps in this timeline:

1. Breakout Time: The time to turn current 60% enriched uranium stockpiles into 90% (weapons-grade) uranium. By 2026, this was estimated to be only about a week or two.
2. Weaponization Time: The subsequent steps of producing a metallic core and assembling the warhead. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Note: The 2026 war and subsequent attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities (mentioned in) have created uncertainty about whether these timelines have been delayed, with some assessments suggesting the program was significantly hindered. [1, 2, 3]

Which ones. They randomly change day by day.
