U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the urgent need to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions, warning that the Islamic Republic is dangerously close to developing a nuclear weapon due to its expanding uranium enrichment activities.
During an appearance on “Hannity” Thursday, Rubio revealed that NATO members will commit to a defense spending target of 5% of GDP over the next decade by the June 2025 NATO Summit, citing escalating global security concerns.
Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, U.S. and Iranian negotiators have engaged in four rounds of discussions, primarily in Oman, to tackle Iran’s nuclear program.
According to a March report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium surged from 182 kg to 275 kg (roughly 401 to 606 pounds) in early 2025.
“Once you’re at 60, you’re 90% of the way there. You are, in essence, a threshold nuclear weapons state, which is what Iran basically has become,” Rubio said in an interview from Turkey.
“They are at the threshold of a nuclear weapon. If they decided to do so, they could do so very quickly. If they stockpile enough of that 60 percent enriched, they could very quickly turn it into 90 and weaponize it. That’s the danger we face right now. That’s the urgency here.”
He added: “They are fairly close. Too close for comfort, to a nuclear weapon.”
In Qatar, Trump informed reporters that the U.S. is nearing a nuclear agreement with Iran.
“Iran has sort of agreed to the terms,” he said, stressing that Iran must never be permitted to possess a nuclear weapon.
The New York Times reported that Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking at a book-signing event in Tehran on Thursday, declared Iran’s unwavering commitment to its civilian nuclear energy program. “None of our nuclear enrichment facilities will be dismantled,” he said, according to the outlet.
In February, the White House launched a “maximum pressure” strategy targeting Iran’s nuclear activities, ballistic missile program, and support for regional proxies that threaten American interests.
Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity, Rubio expressed Trump’s desire for Iran to embrace peace and prosperity.
“In the end, the decision lies in the hands of one person, and that’s the supreme leader in Iran, and I hope he chooses the path of peace and prosperity, not a destructive path, and we’ll see how that plays out,” he said.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
The United States is a war pig nation that us owned by the Greater Is Rael project. I’ve been hearing this same mantra about Iran and nukes for literally about as long as I can remember. If Iran wants a nuke they just need to mail order one from Russia, N. Korea, or China. The United States couldn’t even establish air superiority when confronting the Houthis. What is the United going to do? Bomb Iran, then lose many lives in an all.out attack by Iran on American bases in the area, and lose an aircraft carrier or two or three, and then respond back by initiating an all out nuclear war. Funny, it sure seems like our President of Peace likes to bomb people. The United States is in the way out in terms of world dominance but those like Not A Yahoo still want the war pig machine to roll on, even to its doom.
And did you see the usual number of H1-B visas were granted for 2026? Folks, you have been lied to, and now look at the new boss, he’s the same as the old boss.
Ive been hearing about Iran getting close to nukes since the FN early 2000’s.. I’m over it..
stop participating in Foreign wars..!!! how about we worry America and Americans for a while..?
This is so silly, neocon Rubio playing this 20 year old soap opera.
Yeah well
Nuclear weapons do not exist! FACT
IF, they did No 1 would be living in hiroshima, nagasaki or the bikini islands!!!
They would have died of radiation poisoning long ago & for another 100,000 years.
Wake up MORONS
That’s what Colin Powell said about Iraq’s ficticious WMD and we know where that got us.
