Iran resuming work on a nuclear bomb....
The latest report from US intelligence...
Iran has resumed research on development of a nuclear bomb, a U.S. intelligence report says.
The finding refutes a 2007 report that Iran had halted work on developing a nuclear weapon, The Washington Post said.
The report didn't say when Iran might develop the bomb and the National Intelligence Estimate said while Iran had resumed research, it described "serious debate within the Iranian regime … on how to proceed."
The new report is important because it represents the entire U.S. intelligence community, rather than a single agency, the newspaper said. But unlike the 2007 estimate, the new information will remain classified.
"Iran is technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium for a weapon in the next few years, if it chooses to do so," said Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

No one should be surprised.
Last time "U.S. Intelligence" suggested weapons of mass destruction were concerned in a Mid-East nation,look where it got us.
Before any action is contemplated, someone from one of the other IA's, Britain,Israel,for instance,should get some concrete information from agents on the ground.
I have no doubt Iran is getting close to developing a bomb, but the U.S. needs to be certain. Surely,with all their assets they can find out before they embark on another military excursion in the ME.
