While continuing work on uranium enrichment and other violations of the terms of the nuclear deal, from which the previously unilaterally left the US, the Iranian authorities can quickly create their own nuclear weapons.
With this assessment was made by the foreign Minister of France Jean-Yves Le Drian. In an interview with radio station RTL, he said that the agreement on Iran's nuclear program (the Joint comprehensive plan of action of SVPD), "not dead" despite the administration trump of this agreement. Le Drian has called the actions of the US withdrawal from SVPD "bad decision".
In his opinion, if Iran will continue its activities in violation of the terms of the transaction, the authorities will be able "in a relatively short period of time for 1-2 years" to acquire nuclear weapons. The head of the French foreign Ministry, previously held the post of Minister of defence of France, called such a scenario is "invalid".
In early 2020, a few days after the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, caused a new round of confrontation between the US and Iran, President Donald trump in his message on social networks said that "Iran will never get nuclear weapons".
