Despite Misleading Hype, No Government Leaders Think that Iran Is Building a Nuclear Bomb
American and European leaders say that there is no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon.
Even Israel – which has threatened to attack Iran on its own – now admits the same thing.
As Haaretz noted on January 18th:
The intelligence assessment Israeli officials will present later this week to [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin ] Dempsey indicates that Iran has not yet decided whether to make a nuclear bomb.
The Israeli view is that while Iran continues to improve its nuclear capabilities, it has not yet decided whether to translate these capabilities into a nuclear weapon – or, more specifically, a nuclear warhead mounted atop a missile. Nor is it clear when Iran might make such a decision.

I wonder why the war drums have relatively speaking become quiter? It doesn’t make sense since the petro dollar is being severely challenged in the middle east and in the past the U.S. has not allowed that to happen, look at Iraq and Libya. It feels like something big is going on behind the scenes that hasn’t made itself clear.
