So which is it?

1. They already have enriched uranium and can just make a bomb now

2. They don’t have weapons-grade enriched uranium (and now probably cannot enrich it)

That's just (2).

Whether they had the theoretical ability to complete enrichment or not last week, does not matter, because they likely do not have it now.
