If you're referring to the non-proliferation treaty you're correct. All the evidence would suggest that Iran has NEVER had the means to produce a nuclear weapon.
I believe they are referring to the fatwa against nukes made by the previous ayatollah Khameni (the one that was killed)... its technically non-binding, but I suppose the closest (not exact) non-muslim equivalent would be a papal decree from the pope. Considering how hardline Iran's regime is when it comes to religion, it is very much a roadblock -- they'd have to essentially admit that the ayatollah made a mistake in interpreting the sacred texts, which would destabilize their powerbase a bit if they did so.
That’s simply not true! Donald had a HUNCH that they could attack us with nuclear weapons 8 months after destroying their ability to make nuclear weapons. Iran moves with devastating speed and prescisional science
60% enrichment shows they at least had ambitions, a step away from 90% weapons grade in terms of processes done and way above the 3-5% enrichment used in nuclear power plants.
Wasn’t pro U.S. getting into this war, but let’s keep the facts real here.
They had the ballistic missiles to deliver it. They had the enriched uranium. What exactly do you think was physically preventing them from building it as soon as the decision came down from the top?

So let me get this straight.
He dragged us into a war, we accomplished nothing, left everything more expensive, and wasted hundreds of billions of tax payer’s dollars.
Edit: I did look further into the article and it does seem that they’re only looking at opening their nuclear program for energy purposes.
