#4 The only reason they haven't made the decision to make a bomb yet is because they haven't they haven't reached breakout capacity.

#5 That mugger approaching me with a Glock in his right hand and a clip in his left hand, does not appear to have made an affirmative decision to mug me. Phew!

#6 Lest we fergit, AFAIK there is still no formal or final verification or disverification that Iran received a number of black market Nukes + other WMDS after the collapse of the USSR back in the 1990's.

The nuke threat from Iran stems notsomuch from a Nuke-armed per se but ultimately the proliferation of military-oriented Nuke, Advanced WMD Techs to covert Militant-Terror Groups + their Regional, International Networks = NGOS/TANGOS, ala so-called "Unilateral/
Asymmetric Warfare".

THE MAHA-RUSHIAN HISTOIRE' OF THE ANTI-ISRAELI ARAB-MUSLIM STRUGGLE DURING THE COLD WAR + AFTER INDICS THAT THESE DANGEROUS TECHS WILL END UP IN THE HANDS OF ASSORTED MILTERR GROUPS, NETWORKS REGRADLESS IFF IRAN DEVS NUCWEAPS OR NOT.

We've seen it countless times already - a Terror Incident(s) occurs, + the US-West find out that the One or Few MilTerr Groups whom formally claimed responsibility for the acts received mucho covert support + assistance in carrying out the attacks from many other MilTerr Groups, affiliated, "autonomous", "independent" or other, whom did not claim formal responsibility for same, NOR INTEND TO.

* POST-USSR BLACK MARKET NUKES-WMDS ASIDE, "JAPAN/EGYPT" MODEL = IRAN WILL EITHER DEV THE PROFICIENCIES + ECONOMIES TO QUICKLY PRODUCE NUCWEAPS IN TIMES OF "CRISIS", BUT "OFFICIALLY" WON'T; OR ELSE IRAN WILL HIDE ITS DEV + STORAGE OF NUCWEAPS, BUT ONCE AGAIN "OFFICIALLY" DENY IT HAS ANY.

As far as IRAN [+ Aligned] is concerned, the US + Israel started a major ME war because they unilater threatened + attacked a sovereign foreign country Iran that "officially" doesn't have NucWeaps, nor ever E-V-A-R! intended to dev any.
