5. Israeli military intelligence has said Iran has no present nuclear weapons program. [citation]

6. On the other hand, Israel actually has developed between 75-400 nuclear weapons and has refused to sign the NPT despite international pressure to do so, in other words they are in the same boat as North Korea. [citation]

7. Israel's nuclear arsenal, the only stock of nuclear warheads in the Middle East, is what drives other countries to attempt to proliferate. [citation]

tldr: Iran scaremongering is demonstratably 100% bullshit.

LOL. Google has failed you; your information is up to 2.5 years old. Let's try again.

Claim: There is no evidence of an Iranian nuclear weapons program aiming to produce a bomb.
Validity: False.
Fact: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/25/wo...pagewanted=all

Claim: Iran has a civilian nuclear enrichment program. This is permitted by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran allows United Nations inspections of it nuclear facilities. You could say Iran is not as transparent as the IAEA would like, but there is no dispositive evidence of a weapons program.
Validity: False. This is a restatement of the previous point, which was also false.

Claim: The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly certified that no nuclear material is being diverted to military purposes from Iran’s civilian nuclear enrichment facilities.
Validity: True, but they have qualified that statement by noting that the enrichment itself could be used toward military purposes in the future. There's also a parsing of words with regards to "military purposes". The IAEA and US intelligence officials both agree that Iran has moved substantial nuclear material to "a heavily defended underground military facility".

I could go on, but it's not worth it. You obviously pick and choose the information that you want to accept, and you intentionally misrepresent the information that you do come across. The fact that the IAEA has said no nuclear material has been used toward military purposes is completely irrelevant at the moment. The only role the military would play would be to further enrich -- something they can do just as well as a "civilian enterprise", granted that the facilities are heavily-guarded, aerially impervious military bunkers. They've already enriched uranium to 20%, which is nearly weapons grade, and they've admitted that they enriched far more than they need for their stated purpose (medical isotopes). But yeah: non-military.

PS: Demonstratably is not a word.
