they, and the DNI for that matter, can credibly claim Iran is not developing a nuke.

Are they contending that Iran is stockpiling enriched uranium just in case it may be needed to produce a bomb in future? If so, I would argue that is a distinction without much of a difference as the time and effort required for them to go from enriched uranium to a bomb is much less that manufacturing the enriched uranium in the first place.
