Rubio clashes with CBS host over Iran nuclear weapon intelligence

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CBS host Margaret Brennan faced if intelligence in the United States had found that Iran had ordered the development of a nuclear weapon, Rubio rejecting Brennan’s question as “unrelevant”.

Brennan asked Rubio if the United States has seen “the intelligence that the supreme leader had ordered the armament” of Uraniam on the nation on Sunday. Rubio, who is also a national security advisor, has returned to the CBS host, saying that if the supreme chief of Iran has ordered the armament of armaments, the regime was already pursuing a nuclear weapon.

“It is not relevant. I see that this question is asked in the media all the time. This is an unrelevant question. They have everything they need to build a weapon,” said Rubio.

The CBS host replied that the possibility of the armament order was the “key point” in American intelligence assessments. Rubio denied that it was the case and said he knew the subject “better” than Brennan.

“”Why would you bury things in a mountain, at 300 feet under the ground? Why would they have 60% enriched uranium? You don’t need uranium enriched 60%. The only countries in the world with 60% uranium are countries that have nuclear weapons because it can quickly do 90. They have all the elements. Why do they have a space program? Will Iran go to the moon? No. They try to build an ICBM so that they can one day put an warhead on it, “replied Rubio.

Brennan cited TULSI Gabbard national intelligence director Testimony of the March Congress according to which Iran had not ordered the construction of a nuclear weapon. The host of “Face The Nation” asked Rubio if the American intelligence community had learned something new since Gabbard’s testimony. Rubio accused Brennan not to present the evaluation precisely.

“It is an inaccurate representation of this one. This is not how intelligence is read. This is now that intelligence is used,” said Rubio.

Rubio continued by declaring that the International Atomic Energy Agency recently noted that Iran did not comply with its nuclear non-proliferation obligations. IAEA report noted that Iran could not explain how the traces of uranium were found on undeclared nuclear sites.

“The Council of Governors … notes that the many failures of Iran to maintain its obligations since 2019 to provide the Agency with complete and timely cooperation concerning unconcluded nuclear matters and activities with several unorganized locations in Iran … constitutes the non-compliance with its obligations under its guarantee agreement with the Agency,” said the report.

“They have the delivery mechanisms, they have the capacity of enrichment, they have highly enriched uranium which is stored. This is all that we must see. Especially in the hands of a diet which is already involved in terrorism and proxies and all kinds of things.
