The news.
Iran is saying that they've finished enriching uranium. This uranium will, according to Iran, go to peaceful purposes, such as an Nuclear Reactor.
Unfortunately, Iran is run by an absolute lunatic, who has made several overt threats towards Israel. These aren't people on the street, but the leader of Iran!
Now, we learn they have enriched uranium, for use in nuclear reactors, or at least they claim to have it.
Let's just settle something: the difference between uranium used in reactor fuel and the uranium used in nuclear weapons is virtually none. That is, the uranium in a nuclear reactor, is weapons grade. The difference between the reactor and the bomb is the rate at which energy is released. With a reactor, the energy is released gradually, whereas the goal for a nuclear weapon is to make it release the energy all at once.
What's more, you can rig a reactor to be a "Breeder" reactor. Breeder reactors can create large amounts of plutonium, also used in atomic weapons.
Tell me if you can solve this problem: Iran Leader+Threat to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth+Enriched Uranium=?
