Background
Iran’s technical capability: As of June 2025, Iran has enriched uranium to around 60% purity—from about 200 kg to over 400 kg—which is just shy of the ~90% threshold needed for weapons-grade material . Experts say once Iran reaches weapons-grade, assembling a bomb could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
