Well, to be fair, they were found by the IAEA to have enriched to 83.7%. That's not US propaganda, that's the IAEA. Bomb grade is around 90%. Reactor grade is around 3-5%. And the enrichment process is exponential. It takes far, far more effort to enrich the higher U235 concentration you get. It's like trying to remove finer and finer impurities from a glass of water. The point being there is absolutely zero reason to enrich Uranium to those levels, unless you are aiming for a bomb. It's an incredible amount of extra effort, a whole lot more diplomatic and political risk, all for something that is completely unnecessary for a reactor program.

Though frankly, I think we should just let them have their bomb. They would be a lot more responsible with it than Israel has been with theirs.
