Did B-2 Attacks last June prompt Iran to acquire Nuclear bombs?

Lawrence Wilkerson cites MIT Professor Ted Postol on Iranian bomb acquisition.

Apr 02, 2026

I heard three interesting claims while listening to former chief of staff to the Secretary of State and Army planning veteran Col. Lawrence Wilkerson’s interview with Thomas Karat. This post will summarize the first of the three claims regarding an Iranian nuclear bomb:

Wilkerson says that since last June’s “12 day War” B-2 bomber attacks, Iran enriched uranium to 90% (weapons grade). If I understand correctly, Wilkerson cites Ted Postol as saying that Iran now has the:
1. fuel,
2. bomb, and
3. missiles for nuclear bombs.

13:58: Wilkerson: So he says they’re far underground and they have the enriched uranium, they have the expertise for the warhead, they have the

14:05: expertise for matching the warhead with Shaw or other missile and that they could do that at any moment. So if that’s true, and I trust I trust Ted,

14:17: then we probably have a new ball game here. We have a game where we don’t necessarily, as Arachi said, have two nuclear weapon states. Everyone knows

14:26: they are attacking a non-nuclear weapon state. We may have one that is rapidly developing its own nuclear weapon. And

14:34: that presents an entirely different picture as far as I’m concerned because I have no doubt that if they became as desperate as I think Israel is becoming,

14:45: and they are becoming desperate. If you’ve been listening to Bibi Netanyahu,

14:49: you understand how desperate he’s furious over this last call up of 400,000 reserves because half of them aren’t even answering the call. And he’s

14:57: already had people not come for the previous call up. They just simply didn’t show up. So, he’s between a rock

15:05: and a hard place himself and has the potential of exercising the so-called Samson option and using a nuclear

15:12: weapon. And now we’ve got the potential for the other side to have one too. This is an extremely dangerous situation.

Questions:

Do you agree with my interpretation that Wilkerson and Postal are claiming Iran likely has the fuel, bomb, and missile delivery for a nuclear bomb?
The Glenn Diessen video (below) talks about nuclear “deterrent”, implying that Iran may have the ability to deliver a bomb within weeks of being attacked, if not now. What is your understanding?
If you disagree with me or Wilkerson, what is your interpretation?
If Iran has a nuclear “deterrent”, what will be the effect on the US/Israeli strategy?
