[Old School]

The irani’s got em down to the T’s n C’s….Col. Qazzafi sahb da CIA got killed by the jihadist coup d’etat. Wes just not sure yet whether the irani’s can mount em atop missiles.

Yes, they know how to mount a warhead and they do have mounted warheads. Otherwise, they would've never directly attacked Israel and Pakistan with such confidence, which are both nuclear states. They don't want to get severe sanctions like DPRK or Saddam, so they are keeping an ambiguity like Israel. Pakistan should have done the same- keeping it ambiguous. You don't need ordinary Harry and Joe to know you have nukes. If your adversary (to whom it may concern) somehow knows, that is sufficient. All you have to do is not to publicly confirm the possession.

Iranian officials now speak openly about something long denied by Tehran as it enriches uranium at its closest-ever levels to weapons-grade material: The Islamic Republic is ready to build an atomic weapon at will. "In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60% and we can easily produce 90% enriched uranium. ... Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one," Kamal Kharrazi, an adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told Al Jazeera in mid-July. Uranium enriched at 90% is considered weapons-grade.
And finally Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran's civilian nuclear agency, made his own reported comment about a potential military aspect to Iran's program.
"As Mr. Kharrazi mentioned, Iran has the technical ability to make an atomic bomb, but there is no such plan on the agenda," Eslami said Monday, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency.

I know, they can go nuclear tomorrow if they really wanted to. Political/economic cost for declaring themselves as such will be very high.

I thought Iran wants nuclear technology for peaceful or energy purposes.
Iran cannot get nuclear weapons because it is member of Non-Proliferation Treaty.

If you know the history, North Korea also used to be a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In 2003, North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and then tested its first nuclear weapon on October 9, 2006. Outside the NATO countries, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is just a piece of paper to get Western aid and avoid sanctions. When too many sanctions are imposed, they become irrelevant.

I don't have a problem with Iran having nuclear weapons. It should withdraw from Non-Proliferation Treaty then.

They will not withdraw nor they will declare due to sanctions. They will keep it ambitious which means not confirming that they have it. That is what they are doing now. Isreal didn't officially declare either.

[h1]Iran May Rethink Nuclear Policy in Light of Threat From Israel - IRGC[/h1]
“If Israel attempts to use the threat of attacking our country's nuclear centers as a means to pressure Iran, it is possible and conceivable that the Islamic Republic may reconsider its nuclear doctrine and policies, potentially deviating from previously announced stances," Haghtalab was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
