Why in news
Iran is capable of producing fissile material for use in a nuclear weapon within “one or two weeks,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said
The U.S. unilaterally withdrew in 2018 from the Iran nuclear deal, which was designed to regulate Iran’s atomic activities in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.
Fissile material
Fissile materials are materials that can undergo the fission reaction.
They are the key component of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.
Those mostly used in nuclear weapons are highly enriched uranium (U-235 isotope of uranium) and plutonium (Pu-239 isotope of plutonium)
