I’m assuming the science of making one is out there. Why then countries like Iran who so want to develop atomic weapons haven’t been able to do so?

Producing nuclear weapon requires very talented, well educated intelligent people. If an individual is intelligent, talented and highly educated he won’t stay in a country like Iran. Even if he can’t leave the country for other reasons, he won’t help the regime.

So there is an irony here.

In Iran, intelligent, educated talented people do not help the government to produce mass destruction weapons. But individuals with same qualities help their government produce mass destruction weapons if the developed world.
