I've been hearing "Iran is weeks away from a nuke" since the 1980's.

It's almost like that dude who keeps saying, "FSD in my EVs is just months away."

That’s correct. The point is that until now Iran has intentionally not built a nuke - they’ve kept themselves within range to make it a credible threat, but they’ve not completed the project because so far the tacit agreement has been that if they don’t build a nuke, the US doesn’t let the Israelis bomb Tehran.
