If Iran is days to months away from a nuclear bomb, then for all intents and purposes they already have a nuclear bomb. The fact they don't have a nuclear bomb already despite having 60% enriched uranium for years can only mean that they simply don't want a nuclear bomb.
The only winning move is diplomacy to prevent nuclear proliferation, aka JOCPA. I wonder how that went. Also I find claims that Iran is so close to a nuclear bomb very doubtful given that they've been around for literal decades.
No, days to months away from weapons grade enriched uranium if they so chose. If you don't trust what the International Atomic Energy Agency has to say about nuclear proliferation from on-site assessments, I guess there's no convincing you of anything else.
Then why the fuck are they enriching uranium beyond what's necessary for energy purposes?
To point to if and when America wants to invade? There's a difference between "yo we can make a nuclear bomb so play nice" and actually making a nuclear bomb. Also because they have literally no reason to not enrich uranium given that they're already sanctioned to hell and back, so they might as well go the potentially nuclear-powered pariah route.
