15. That is to enrich to 90%--NOT TO MAKE A BOMB. Please folks pay attention to facts. Details matter.

Estimates are at LEAST a year (and likely more to actually construct even a NK-style crude early bomb.

The point that TSF was an utter idiot to have torn up the Obama agreement is valid as we would not be looking at that short time span to go from 60-90% enriched Uranium but rather would have been in the single digits. But, there is no way that in 120 days Iran will not only enrich to 90% but also build the completed bomb.
