White House Says Iran Could Produce a Nuclear Weapon in 'a Couple of Weeks'

  • The White House announced on June 19, 2025, that Iran possesses all the materials needed to build a nuclear weapon and could do so in weeks if ordered by its supreme leader.
  • This statement comes amid intensified Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last week and continued negotiations involving U.S. special representative Steve Witkoff and Iran’s top diplomatic official Abbas Araqchi.
  • A spokesperson for the White House conveyed that President Trump’s main focus is to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. While he remains willing to pursue diplomatic talks, Trump intends to make a decision regarding possible military action within the next two weeks.
  • Israeli intelligence estimates Iran could build a weapon in 15 days, while U.S. intelligence maintains Iran has not authorized bomb development, highlighting continued uncertainty over Iran’s nuclear timeline.
  • The potential Iranian weapon poses an existential threat to Israel, the U.S., and global security, intensifying tensions and forcing the U.S. to weigh urgent decisions regarding possible strikes on Iran's fortified Fordo enrichment facility.
