ISRAEL WORRIED ABOUT IRAQI NUCLEAR PROGRAM (2/27/01)
"Israeli officials and analysts said they don't expect Iraq to complete indigenous production of enriched uranium or plutonium for another few years. But they said Baghdad could compensate by smuggling such material from countries in the former Soviet Union. In such a scenario, Iraq would need only several months to complete a nuclear bomb. "The assessment of Iran and Iraq is built on indigenous capability and not smuggled uranium," said Shai Feldman, director of Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies. "If it obtains enriched uranium, then Iraq doesn't need three years"

Same goes for Iran. They don't need to build facilities. They just buy it from China or Russia.
