Ayatollah Khamenei was the only authority preventing Iran from getting the nuclear bomb.
The idiots in Washington don’t realise that you just pushed Iran into getting the bomb.
That’s all on you.

Getting the uranium enriched high enough is the hardest part, the rest of the bomb is kind of trivial. If you look at the diagram of the Little Boy, it is literally just a howitzer tube that fires a chunk of uranium (enriched, obviously) at another chunk of uranium such that, when the two chunks are together, they reach criticality (helped by a tiny bit of polonium-beryllium initiator).
It was hard at first because people were doing it for the first time, but now that the stuff is public knowledge (and Russia + China can help), Iran should be able to move fast.
Ohhh, i assume that is why the US forbade them to enrich large amounts of uranium (i think), because that is the actual important and difficult part of producing the bomb.
Thank you so much!
Yep! According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (take with grain of salt, they're a US-Israeli tool), Iran has around 440kg of 60% pure uranium that they've kept moving around even after the previous US strikes on Iran. That can be enriched to 90% weapons-grade almost immediately, and then pretty quickly shoved into a couple nukes.
