    No, the whole point of bombing Iran was to make the point that it is and trying diplomacy with the US as an alternative is suicidal.

        Ok, trust them then fool

        Speaking in remarks reported on Tuesday evening, Grossi said Iran possesses a large stockpile of enriched uranium that has reached levels close to weapons-grade. However, he stressed that the agency has not found proof that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon.

        In response to the attacks, Iran excluded UN inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from those and other sensitive sites, with the result that the watchdog lost track of what became of the 440kg HEU stockpile, and of what was being done in the deep tunnels in Isfahan and Natanz.

        In its latest report, the IAEA conceded it could not verify whether Iran had suspended all enrichment-related activities, or the size of its uranium stockpile at the affected nuclear facilities.

        Despite that uncertainty, the IAEA director general, Rafael Grossi, said on Monday that “we don’t see a structured programme to manufacture nuclear weapons”.

          Thanks for proving my point. From the article you linked:

          Most worryingly for the international community, Iran had by last summer produced a stockpile of just over 440kg of highly enriched uranium (HEU), of 60% purity. In terms of technical difficulty, once at 60%, it is a relatively easy step to reach 90% – weapons-grade uranium that can be used to make a compact warhead.

          You don’t need HEU for civilian nuclear power operations.

              Here let me make it a bit easier to read:

            You ignored the main part though

            Despite that uncertainty, the IAEA director general, Rafael Grossi, said on Monday that “we don’t see a structured programme to manufacture nuclear weapons”.

              You don’t need “a structured programme to manufacture nuclear weapons” for it to be clear that’s what the intention is. At that point it’s already too late.

              Again: You don’t need highly enriched uranium (HEU) for civilian nuclear power operations.
