- Iran can now enrich enough uranium to fuel one nuclear weapon in less than a week and 14 in about four months, according to a February 2025 report by the Institute for Science and International Security.-

They have been saying for five years that Iran can enrich enough uranium to fuel one nuclear weapon in less than a week and 14 in about four months. So, I think it is safe to say that Iran has several atomic bombs now.

Designing and building an enriched uranium is quite simple once you have the enriched uranium (that’s the hard part).

I could build a 20Kt bomb if I had the enriched uranium even though I am a moron.

The only question is will Iran announce that they have the bomb or will they use them in a massive attack on Isreal.

Scary times.

I think they're planning on delivering an EMP weapon over the US. That kind of catastrophe is the big opportunity for permanent martial law.

Yes, A gun-type collision of subcritical masses does not need the timing of an implosion type warhead. Very easy to make once you have the enriched uranium. It would probably weigh in the 10,000 lb range. I have worked on the engineering on two intermediate range nuclear missile programs. I know quite a bit about the warhead designs, especially the safety and arming.
