Thanks, great read. Fills in quite a few holes in my own understanding of events.

Doesn't exactly leave one optimistic for a favorable final outcome, given how much U235 they supposedly already enriched to 60%. As I understand it, they could build twice as many bombs if they took the time to enrich to 90%, but they could build at least some now if they felt they had a reason to hurry.

I wouldn't be surprised if they felt they had a reason to hurry.
