You buy a gas mask because it filters out radiation...oh wait
Seriously though, Iran has a long way to go before they can deliver and anyone who magically knows how long its going to take the Iranians to google
"how does nuclear energy work?" is just selling their opinion as fact.
If anything Iran has got a lot to worry about right now then trying to further instigate a war. Their own people seem to be ready for another
revolt.
I'm personally interested as to just what the analyst are basing the intel from. It is apparent that Iran knows exactly what to do to at least
generate nuclear energy, but they need a source, tooling, and the facilities. If the plan was to actually nuke Israel, then Iran knows that it would
be nuked in turn and if it were because a dirty bomb could be smuggled into the US or Israel, then I think that the capability is probably there
already.
Fear shouldn't be the driving factor in our policies, but instead reasoning should.
