White House: Intelligence Shows Iran Only Weeks Away from Nuclear Weapons
White House Spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, stated that President Donald Trump made decisions based on intelligence reports concluding that Iran is only "weeks away" from being able to produce nuclear weapons. This statement underscores the urgency behind the potential U.S. military strike.
"Iran has everything it needs to have nuclear weapons. It just awaits direction from the Supreme Leader, and within weeks, Iran could produce these weapons," Leavitt said in her remarks to the press.
This dramatic claim has become the primary justification for the Trump administration in considering a direct strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Despite reports of differing views within its own intelligence community, the White House has consistently used this narrative of a "threat within weeks" to highlight the seriousness of the situation and to prepare the public for the decisions the President will make in the near future.
