Trump said they were "weeks away" from having a nuclear weapon, but then again that's Trump so it could mean anything. Maybe he believes it.
Weeks away from an actual warhead, or just the components, who knows. I think more realistically is that they had 60 days and stalled as they usually do, so the US acted in order to create an actual consequence.
I'm not a fan of more war, but I'm also not a fan of giving a known hostile regime a deadline then extending it over and over under the guise of "negotiations". Iran wants to stall, they get bombed. Stall more, get bombed more. I can see Trump being ok with that logic.
