Have they found proof since this? If so, I would like to hear about it before I have to help support another war.
In late August 2012, international nuclear inspectors reported that Iran has already installed three-quarters of the nuclear centrifuges it needs to complete a deep-underground site for the production of nuclear fuel.

An I.A.E.A. report issued in February 2011 listed seven outstanding questions about work Iran apparently conducted on warhead design. The documents in the hands of the agency raise questions about work on how to turn uranium into bomb fuel, how to cast conventional explosives in a shape that can trigger a nuclear blast, how to make detonators, generate neutrons to spur a chain reaction, measure detonation waves and make nose-cones for missiles.
The May report gave new details for all seven of the categories of allegations. The disclosure about the atomic trigger centered on a rare material — uranium deuteride, a form of the element made with deuterium, or heavy hydrogen. Nuclear experts say China and Pakistan appear to have used the material as a kind of atomic sparkplug.
The report said it had asked Iran about evidence of “experiments involving the explosive compression of uranium deuteride to produce a short burst of neutrons” — the speeding particles that split atoms in two in a surge of nuclear energy. In a bomb, an initial burst of neutrons is needed to help initiate a rapid chain reaction.
Harold M. Agnew, a former director of the Los Alamos weapons laboratory, said the compression of uranium deuteride suggested work on an atomic trigger.
Oh Lordy am I sick of Nutty-yahoo and his fear-mongering B.S. Must not let Iran cross that goal line, huh?
Does he think we're all idiots?
The top commander in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard has warned that "nothing will remain" of Israel if it takes military action against Tehran over its controversial nuclear program.

Awesome. I always wanted to see the world and the results after a nuclear attack. That is if I survive it.
Threads is a British television drama produced by the BBC in 1984. Written by Barry Hines and directed by Mick Jackson, it is a documentary-style account of a nuclear war and its effects on the city of Sheffield in northern England.
SEABAG . you have done it, you solved the ME Crisis !!!!!!

Read your quote, Nothing WILL HAPPEN if Israel doesn`t attack Tehran.

I have posted this picture before, let me post it again. It is from a magazine from the 1970s.
Consider this: Iran has had a nuclear power program since the 1970s, for approximately 40 years. Now ask yourself, why all of a sudden are they going to build a bomb? I imagine they have had plenty of time to do so. The way Israel tells it, they only recently started up with nuclear power and are a bunch of mad men, trying desperately to build a bomb to blow Israel away before they can be stopped.
The whole smear campaign against Iran doesn't make sense. I think we're being duped. Just like when Dubya did his "mushroom clouds" speech against Iraq, to justify an illegal and immoral invasion of a country that was NOT A THREAT.
Now we're supposed to believe that a country that has had nuclear power for 40 years is suddenly going to try and build a bomb, and they're only 6 months away from doing so.
Please see the following link. Israel's whole Middle East policy (and by extension because we're bought and paid for, the United States) was laid out 15 years ago.

The insanity continues, and most people are too worn out from trying to survive in this economy to do their research, and learn the truth.

Thanks for that. A bit to long winded for me as I have a short attention span. I am aware of the effects a nuke would have. Got well versed in it in the Marines. I still think it would be neat to see though. You know, minus all the death....

On Aug. 30, Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated his position that Iran is not seeking an atomic bomb, and he criticized what he called the hypocrisy of the American-Israeli campaign against Iran. In a speech to the 120-member Nonaligned Movement meeting in Tehran, the ayatollah also reminded the delegates that the United States is the only country that has ever used a nuclear weapon and that Israel has its own unacknowledged stockpile of nuclear weapons.
