Nuclear issues are so complicated that the public is easily misled and frightened by nuclear demagoguery. That is why the new International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran’s nuclear program .. http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/11/08/364519/white-house-iaea-report-iran/ .. will be hyped endlessly.
P - Iran is a theocracy in which the Supreme Leader has said that nuclear weapons are forbidden in Islamic law. In the medieval Muslim law of war, killing innocent non-combatants is forbidden. The same people who jump up and down about Iran being “medieval” in this regard suddenly dismiss Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s injunctions against nuclear warheads as irrelevant when the latter subject comes up. But if he gave such a fatwa and at the same time undermined it, he would risk a fatal blow to his authority and legitimacy.
P - The way you tell if a country like Iran is actively working on a nuclear bomb is that it diverts uranium to weapons purposes. Iran has not done that, as the IAEA repeatedly affirms. Almost certainly, if Iran were seriously working on a bomb, it would kick international inspectors out altogether.

P - It is likely that Iran wants “nuclear latency,” or the “Japan option.”

MAD works for all the countries with nukes. Even the Mullahs know they won't likely pierce our increasing, increasingly AI augmented, missile defenses, The people charged with launching Iranian missiles will also let them know that the ONLY assured destruction will be theirs.
