Israel says Iran was racing toward a nuclear weapon. US intel says it was years away

"The International Atomic Energy Agency, a top international watchdog, said last week that Iran had amassed enough uranium enriched at levels just below weapons-grade to potentially make nine nuclear bombs, which it termed “a matter of serious concern.”

The challenge, for Iran, is producing not merely a crude nuclear weapon – which experts say Iran could potentially do within the space of months if it decided to – but also producing a working delivery system, which could take much longer."

So, no weapons grade uranium, no delivery system, all years away.

Israel has been banging the "imminent threat" drum for twenty years now, and it has yet to pan out.
