I mean Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons but they do have a nuclear program and it's very easy to go from there to nukes. Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK the principle behind nukes is pretty simple and it's modern geopolitics that makes them hard to get.

Simple and easy are not the same thing. Sure, enriching uranium is simple, you just centrifuge it so that the heavier, less stable isotopes separate from the bulk. Simple.
