Thousands of centrifuges were moved to Iran’s deeply buried nuclear site known as PickAxe Mountain after the 12 day war.
Will Iran dash for the bomb? Has it already been doing it? Is PickAxe just a diversion for the real small facility that is doing the enrichment and weaponization peace?
Assuming Iran started building a bomb in fall of 2025, then logic would dictate it would be ready for testing by the end of this year.
Under Ali Khamenei Iran planned to be a nuclear threshold state that will not build a nuclear weapon but will have enrichment facilities as a hedge.
But after US and Israel attacked Iran, killed lots of Iranian leaders and tried to topple the regime, Iran now views US as a direct existential threat.
US killed Iranian leaders, tried to topple the regime and the only reason US didn't destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure is because Iran will respond by destroying Gulf oil facilities.
US now is an existential threat and this means Iran has no other choice but to build nuclear weapons in the next 6-24 months for guaranteeing its security.
Technically, as according to Theodore Postol, 3 cascades of IR-6 centrifuges (522 IR-6 centrifuges) can enrich these 440kg of uranium in 2 months to build 10 nuclear bombs and this will be enough to deter at least Israel.
It is obvious that after US aggression Iran will NEVER hand over its enriched uranium.
