That is GREAT news. Yet, are Iran’s computers even necessary? The US built both uranium and plutonium bombs 65 years ago, with ZERO computers!

Didn’t we use mainframe computers 65 years ago?

The problem is, any newly-built centrifuges will have computer controls incorporated into them (like just about anything else nowadays). To make centrifuges like those used during the Manhattan Project, the Iranians would have to build them from scratch, and I doubt they have the capability to do that.
