Looks like they're trying to finish before the end of Obama's first term.

Iran has enough enriched uranium - if processed to weapons grade - to make about "two to three nuclear weapons," says Fred Fleitz, a veteran intelligence expert and Newsmax analyst.
Despite claims to the contrary, new evidence shows that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons and has "probably accelerated its program," Fleitz says during an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview.
The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that Iran's main Natanz centrifuge is producing low enriched uranium at levels slightly higher than the plant produced before the Stuxnet computer worm hit it.
The IAEA report also states the watchdog group remains concerned about the possible existence of activities in Iran related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile.
"Iran now has about 4,000 kilograms of enriched uranium, which is enough uranium - if enriched to weapons grade - to make about two to three nuclear weapons," Fleitz says.
