“He will do what is right for the country and prevent the terrorist regime in Tehran from further enriching uranium which is the key ingredient to make the nuclear weapons, and he will do it by any means necessary to achieve the goal.”

I sure hope you’re right! One thing I think people are failing to consider is that Iran may not need (much of) a nuclear weapons development program. Iran is enriching U-235, which is primarily (only?) suitable for a “Thin Man” type fission weapon. The US was able to make one of these in the early 1940s...how hard do you think it’d be today with computers, CAD, and the available body of scientific knowledge? I believe it’d be considerably easier than an implosion type plutonium device.
