“They continue to improve their capability,” said General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “[Tehran] could produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon in less than two weeks from time of decision and would only take several more months to produce an actual nuclear weapon.”

“Iran has emphasized improving the accuracy, lethality, and reliability of its missiles,” the report stated. “Iran’s work on space launch vehicles [SLVs] — including its Simorgh — shortens the timeline to an ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile] if it decided to develop one because SLVs and ICBMs use similar technologies.”

Unless I’m missing something, it seems like they are very close to nuclear weapons. The headline makes it seem like they aren’t moving forward, but direct quotes say otherwise. Am I missing something here? It seems like they are a hair trigger away from implementation.
