The sometimes hysterical debate about Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program – and the need to launch preemptive strikes to stop it – often ignores the remaining steep obstacles to Iran developing a nuclear bomb even if it wanted one.

Former State Department intelligence chief Greg Thielmann, who was a leading dissenter against the Bush administration’s bogus claims about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, explains why many professional analysts in the U.S. intelligence community question Iran’s supposed nuclear progress.

(The story summary continues below.)

Thielmann points out that recent news of Iran's identification of another enrichment site, while possibly a little late, demonstrates compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and should be viewed as evidence that the regime is not moving any closer to a developed bomb, rather than the opposite.
