To me it looks VERY likely that Iran already has the bomb. They have had at least 10 years to make it. They must have wanted it badly as Israel had it and Iraq was supposedly making it.

From Heinz on this subject:
after all, it's not difficult to build one. the basic technology is 60 years old. the ONLY difficulty is obtaining and / or making the fissile material, and i suspect the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as the long years of Pakistan's chief nuke scientist's black market deals have offered ample opportunity to Iran in this regard.
otoh, it is estimated that if they are still in the development stage, it would take them at least another 5-10 years to become autonomous bomb makers. in any event, what are they going to do? they can't very well use it. they'd be completely wiped out if they did that.
