I agree, I don't really believe it's Iran they are truly worried about because Iran has been developing a nuke way before the website but maybe someone like Hamas?

The point has been made better than me by other posters: building Little Boy and Fat Man variants has been out in the wild now for at least 20 years (there's also a third way, Thin Man, which was an early design to use Plutonium in a gun-bomb design that was some 19 ft. long. Oppenheimer dropped it as impractical and concentrated on implosion....). The problem isn't the bomb; it's enriching the Uranium and extracting the Plutonium. Not every President-For-Life can just up and do this on a whim....
Be Seeing You,
