Blinken: Iran could be weeks away from enough nuclear material for bomb
I sure hope Biden knows what he's doing.

OK.
What would you do?

Inspection.

Like that is possible
It would be if it were agreed to.
We had 4 years of masterful non-negotiation.
Let's hope the next 4 will be better.

I wonder where he got that information from. The same sources that informed Bush about WMDs in Iraq?

They never did, never will allow inspection.
There is no gain in enrichment unless its
a bomb. A LOT of downside.
Any inspection allowed would be to deceive.
Its all such a shame, I really admire the
Iranian people.

I think I am going make a delicious BLT... I had one yesterday, and it was so good, I will make another right now
That's defeatist.
If we want something, we must begin negotiating
in good faith. Even Obama didn't really try that.
The very first thing we need to do is convince Iran
that we pose no threat. That's not been tried.
Until then, Iran will perceive the need for nukes.

No, we became the enemy in 1953 when
the CIA overthrew their government to install
the Shah. That set the stage for the Islamic
revolution.

I know that happened but there were no hostilities till aya. The revolution only had about 25% support.
Now, you can seize on a false comparison!
The brits burned your white house in
1812 and america has been worried
ever since. Thus like battleships and things.
We became the enemy by deed. While the Shah's government
certainly liked us for installing him, our problem was with the
those who resented the coup, & with the situation we created.
We eventually discovered that we could
talk to the Limeys, & forge a peace.
Meh... The kim jong dynasty has had nukes for a while. If even they wouldn't use them, I suspect Iran won't either. If I'm wrong, then I live close to a naval base, so I'd be blown to smithereens if a worldwide nuke fest took place. 
Sending in drone strikes to kill their top officials, is generally not received well as a gesture of peace and trust.
But with Trump gone, a lot of that unpredictability and untrustworthiness, might be lessened some. One can never quite predict the insane. Just from our perspective alone here, we feel a little safer already, without that abusive unstable uncle in the house anymore.

Trump may be gone for now but who is to say he doesn't return in four years? Or someone equally crazy? I wouldn't agree to any treaty with the US that has a span of longer than 'till the next election.
The US is not a reliable partner. And that legacy will stick for some time.
That makes perfect sense. Hopefully we can get a resumption of the agreement with inspection.
The peace has suffered a little since 2016,
but they didn't burn down the White House.

From Iran's perspective, about 70 years of our attacking
them in various manners resulting in hundreds of thousands
of their deaths, a momentary regime change here wouldn't
lessen their perceived need for a nuke....which history
shows tends to inoculate a country against direct attack.
Trump & Israel have been chomping at the bit to launce
one of those.
Peace would be a lengthy process....at least with the
kinds of boobs we elect as Prez. Were I in charge, I
could achieve a reliable peace in 3 years...+/- 2 months.
(If I could put @Quetzal, @Wirey, @Christinem, & others
of their ilk in powerful congressional positions.)
