I mean, yeah, Israel and the United States have been blowing this out of proportion for the whole of the 21st century (and before, too).

But this article isn't wrong either. Energy-grade uranium only needs something like 30% enrichment (if I recall correctly). You need 90% for a bomb. The higher the percentage, the more energy and work intensive the process becomes. Iran has been enriching to something like 60, 70% and they've been doing so for... uh at least a few decades? And there really isn't a reason to do that outside of creating diplomatic pressure. So; trying to have the benefits of a bomb, without actually having a bomb.
