Whilst no doubt I'll be added to a blacklist for asking this question, what is the key difficulty in building a nuclear weapon? What is the tripping point which stops countries like Iran shipping them out one by one?

Is it the materials? The knowledge?

I've always imagined it would be the fission material, but I'm probably wrong.
