About this webinar: Last week, Iran announced that they have started enriching uranium to the 20 percent level and are threatening to enrich to 40-60 percent, which far exceeds the JCPOA, the nuclear deal agreed upon with the P5 plus 1 (The United States, China, Russia, France, Great Britain, and Germany). And the plant that they are using for this enrichment, Fordow, was clandestinely built and not even covered by the Iranian nuclear deal. Recently, they also seized a South Korean tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also took, for the second time, the brazen move of putting President Donald Trump as well as 48 American officials on an Interpol List. All of this comes at approximately the anniversary of the American assassination of Qassem Soleimani, and less than two weeks before the end of the Trump administration, which is leaving office on rather shaky ground.
Are the Iranians planning to use this rather precarious moment in American history to wage an attack on the United States or her allies? Or are they doing this in order to prepare the way for a deal with the Biden administration?
