The US government acknowledged that Iran is not building a nuclear bomb. They said this development was stopped in 2003. So it is no wonder there is no Iranian bomb. But there is a nuclear armed rogue state in the neighborhood: Israel. See the article I got from the Washington Post and put as #194 in Persian Gulf and Middle East News and Views.
If that statement is true then explain why the Iranians are refusing to submit to inspections of their facilities suspected of nuclear bomb making by the IAEA, an International Group tasked with monitoring nations involved in nuclear research.
"....In November 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors rebuked Iran following an IAEA report detailing how Iran had undertaken research and experiments geared to developing a nuclear weapons capability.For the first time, the IAEA report outlines, in depth, the country’s
detonator development, the multiple-point initiation of high explosives, and experiments involving nuclear payload integration into a missile delivery vehicle. Iran rejected the details of the report and accused the IAEA of pro-Western bias and threatened to reduce its cooperation with the IAEA."
There is no bomb because covert efforts have interfered with Iran's efforts to complete a bomb.
The IAEA just filed it's report on Iran and their attempts to develop a nuclear weapon. The findings show that Iran continues to enrich uranium in violation of Security Council resolutions, and it continues to obstruct the IAEA investigation expressly mandated by those resolutions.
So who do you chose to believe, the Washington Post newspaper or the IAEA 14-page report?
