On the off chance that the U.S. Government removes it from the web, this is the March 25, 2025 testimony of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that Iran is not currently developing nuclear weapons and it is at least 2 to 3 years from having a bomb ("breakout").

While Iran’s uranium enrichment is at record levels—enough for weapons-grade material—it’s still in civilian hands. U.S. The Intelligence Community estimates any breakout effort would take 2–3 years.
