As of mid-2025, Iran does not currently possess nuclear weapons. However, it has a significant stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60%, which is just below weapons-grade. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran had over 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, enough material to produce multiple nuclear weapons if further enriched to weapons-grade levels. European diplomats estimate that with its current enrichment capabilities and stockpile, Iran could be capable of producing more than nine nuclear bombs. The timeline for Iran to produce a nuclear weapon, if it decided to, is estimated to be within months or about a year, though experts note that Iran has been close to this threshold for many years. Iran's nuclear program is advancing towards the capability of producing weapons-grade uranium (enriched to about 90%). Still, Iran has not officially declared possessing nuclear weapons, and international organizations have not confirmed that Iran has any assembled nuclear warheads. So, while Iran does not have nuclear weapons as of now, it has the material and technical capability to produce a small arsenal relatively quickly if it chooses to do so.
