Seyyed nukes almost ready

It is really interesting how almost joyously the Chinese press reports this:

Deputy head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Javad Vaeedi said on Sunday that his country has so far produced 300 tons of uranium hexafluoride (UF6)gas used for uranium enrichment in the Isfahan nuclear facility.

Addressing a congregation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Vaeedi said "The Isfahan uranium conversion facilityis active and it has produced more than 300 tons of UF6," local Fars news agency reported.

He said that despite pressures by Western countries which once stressed that Iran should not have even 20 centrifuges, there are now 3,000 centrifuges operative in Iran.


Now some of you, I am sure, are pretty confused about all this tech talk. But just read this:

Hence, to produce one kilogram of HEU requires processing 176 kilograms of UF6 gas.


So the Seyyed bomb is not that far away. And the IRGC are very proud of it. Is the rest of Iran concerned that this bomb will put Iran in harms way, especially with the IRGC screaming "wipe-out" comments about Israel. Yes So will the Iranian nation do anything about it by themselves, or are they going to wait for the Israelis to bomb Natanz?

Whatever happened to Peace Rallies. Or why not have a General Strike because the Seyyeds are putting Iran in harms way.
