That seems to be Iran's strategy vis-a-vis nuclear weapons. Apparently, all of our intelligence agencies do not believe that Iran intends to build a bomb. But, we all recall the misreadings of Iraq's capabilities by the intelligence people. Improvements have been made in processing information by the agencies since their screw-up with Iraq. And we do have a presidency that may actually not be panting to go to war; they'd rather execute people using drones.

The question that never gets asked is: why shouldn't Iran have the bomb? What right has America and its allies to try and prevent it?
I would suggest that Iran getting the bomb would cause a shift in the balance of power in the Middle East. The West (and Israel) wouldn't want that. It would undermine their ability to influence the region. Wannabee US presidents are presently boasting about how they'd put a stop to Iran's nuclear ventures (without explaining how they'd do it, of course) to the cheers of their brain-stalled fanbase, but not one will explain why preventing Iran from enriching weapon's grade uranium is so vitally important. Perhaps they really don't know the answer, or maybe it's one they'd prefer not to admit?
