What’s stopping Iran?Tehran calculates that it stands to gain more in terms of sanctions relief and future negotiations by dangling the threat of the bomb than actually building it.
You conveniently edited out this passage:
Quote:“Iran is sitting on the threshold of nuclear weapons; it can build a bomb more quickly than at any point in its history,” said Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association.
“If Tehran makes the political decision to develop a nuclear arsenal, it can produce enough weapons-grade uranium for an explosive device in less than a week and enough for five or six weapons in a month.”
She added: “Building a bomb would take more time – likely six months to a year – but that process will take place at covert, undeclared sites, making it more difficult to detect and disrupt.”

I'm sure that was an accident on your part.
Your claim that Iran could put a nuclear weapon together inside a week is directly contradicted by the same authority you cited in support of it.
