A report released on Tuesday said that Iran would not be ready to produce nuclear weapons for at least five years.
"We estimate, if everything goes right, if they throw all their effort into solving their problems, they might be able to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a single nuclear weapon within five years," Gary Samore, editor the report by London based think-tank International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).

Two technical obstacles must be overcome before Iran is able to produce a weapon: producing sufficient nuclear material and then building a functioning warhead.
The report predicts Iran will aim to develop nuclear weapons regardless of international pressure.
