U.S. Intelligence agenices, our military and the United Nations regulators all agree:

***IRAN HAS NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM***

Iran is enriching uranium at 5%. Weapons grade uranium must be enriched 95%. Iran has not yet built or tested nukes - it took India and Pakistan several years to miniaturize their bombs so they could be loaded into planes or fitted to warheads. North Korea still hasn`t figured out how to do it.

Obama is smart enough to understand the the U.S. and Israel would have plenty of time to act if Iran started a serious weapons program - which they don`t intend to do because the clerics who run Iran believe that nuclear weapons are un-Islamic.

Finally, Israel should think very carefuly before attempting to fly through American airspace to attack Iran. Obama is a strong supporter of Israel. But he understands that preventing a world war in the ME is more important to U.S. interests than humoring Israel`s paranoia.
