Iran already has enough nuclear material for one atomic weapon'
Iran has produced approximately enough nuclear material to assemble an atomic weapon, according to several nuclear experts quoted in the New York Times Thursday. The experts, who were analyzing data from the latest UN atomic watchdog's report on the Iranian nuclear program, added, however, that the existent material would have to first undergo added purification.
Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in Wednesday's report, has to date produced some 630 kilograms of low-enriched uranium suitable for nuclear fuel. That milestone is enough to produce a single nuclear weapon, about the size of the bomb dropped by the US on Nagasaki, Thomas B. Cochran, a senior scientist in the nuclear program of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a Washington group that monitors atomic arsenals, was quoted by the Times as saying.
Cochran qualified his remarks, however, adding that although "they have a weapon's worth," the milestone was still a "virtual" one, because Iran would still need the technological knowhow to purify the fuel and produce a grapefruit-sized warhead. A bomb with a cruder design, Cochran said, would require twice as much fissile fuel.

IAEA chief: Iran not close to developing nuclear weapons
The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency said on Monday that Iran remains far from acquiring capabilities to develop nuclear weapons.
In an interview broadcast on Channel 10, the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohammed ElBaradei, said the Islamic Republic is still lacking the key components to produce an atomic weapon.
"They do not have even the nuclear material, the raw unenriched uranium to develop one nuclear weapon if they decide to do so," ElBaradei said. "Even if you decide to walk out tomorrow from the non-proliferation treaty and you go into a lot of scenarios, we're still not going to see Iran tomorrow having nuclear weapons."
The Israeli Air Force is ready to attack Iran's suspected nuclear weapons project if diplomacy fails to persuade the Islamic Republic to halt uranium enrichment, said Commander Ido Nehushtan in an interview published Tuesday.

This is all just so much bolloks - what scruples do you think N Korea has against selling Iran whatever it wants to make a bomb? - or all the missing Soviet weapons, or all the unknown facilities that Iran may posess.
The Only prudent option is to assume that Iran Has nukes, is seeking to aquire more and is batshit crazy enough to use them.
