Uranium enrichment is expensive and time consuming, but if North Korea can do it covertly Iran has a much more educated people and much more land to extract anything from. Plus Iran is probably much more cozy with Russia than Russia is with Nork.
If Iran hasn’t produced a weapon yet, it’s not because of these enrichment facilities, but a lack of material to produce enough high enrichment, OR they are trying to rely on methods for inducing fission that won’t work for a bomb (inclusive OR). That’s what kept Germany from advancing their program.
I have a feeling that the centrifuges are decoys anyway. It’s a cheaper way to isolate enriched uranium, but easy targets. At one point Iran was trying laser separation to isolate the correct isotopes, but I doubt they had any success with that and they’re undoubtedly putting resources into multiple methods now, UNLESS Putin has instructed them otherwise.
In reality? All Putin needs to do is provide enriched uranium or plutonium and Iran can make breeder reactors and it doesn’t matter how many centrifuges get blown to bits.
This isn’t the first time Iran’s nuclear program has been targeted. It’s been regularly attacked over the years. Getting weapons grade enrichment is really hard, it’s years of lead time to get centrifuges up and running before you can even attempt enrichment. It’s not unbelievable that they haven’t gotten pure enough uranium for a nuke yet, it matches up with what we know about their program from what has been inspected.
Iran doesn’t actually have to have uranium for America to bomb them. In fact, if they didn’t have uranimum, we’d be liberating them for the sake of Democracy or some shit. Israel told its wage slaves to bomb Iran, so its wage slaves are going to bomb Iran.
Remember last time?
“Oh, turns out… they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction lmao. SILLY US! Oh well! Too late now!”
Hot take, it wasn’t set back at all.

Iran also has money from selling oil to China.
Iran is under a microscope though, and has severe problems with infiltration from outside intelligence agencies.
They do have more than 10x the land area and more than 3x the population though.
