Obviously they have a nuclear program, since Israel and MEK someone has been assassinating their scientists and sabotaging the program. The question is whether they have a nuclear weapons program, which to date the latest and greatest intelligence says no. And this is why those who want war are talking about stopping their capability to have a nuclear weapon at some time in the future instead of stopping their nuclear weapons program.


I think you're being intentionally obtuse on this. Anyone with an IQ above 50 should be able to recognize the fact that Iran, which is sitting on a sea of oil, is one of the last countries in the world to need nuclear energy. Couple that with Iran's longstanding support of terrorist groups, as well as it's longstanding desire to wipe Israel off the map, well, it doesn't take a genius to see the problem here.

The fact is, while there is a window where there are other avenues besides military action, that window has a ever-shrinking time frame. But I've become convinced that you and some others here have already resigned yourselves to Iran getting nuclear weapons. So you start from that point and work backward, trying to find any quotes, data, etc. that supports your preconceived conclusion that under virtually no circumstances would military action be justified.
