Trump says withdrawal from nuclear deal prevented Iran from having a bomb, but the facts don't match

Trump claims that withdrawing from the nuclear deal prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon three years ago, however, the facts do not support this claim. The New York Times reports that at the time of withdrawal, Iran did not possess enough uranium to build a nuclear bomb, but has since accumulated 11 tons, and the location of this stockpile remains uncertain after military operations. U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Iran's timeline to develop a nuclear weapon has not changed significantly.
