And if they were racing towards building one, it’s because the previous deal was reneged by the orange combover.

I seem to remember Iran suggesting they would do just that in their response.

The accuracy record of US intelligence assessments has often been questionable - Vietnam, the survivability of the Soviet Union, Iraq WMD, Afghanistan, Al-Qaeda/911, etc. American intelligence assessments are far from gospel.

Israel is getting its info from the IAEA which claims Iran has enough 60% enriched Uranium, very close to making a bomb.
