Hi raydarkhorse,
Iran has made no attempts to hide or deny the facts they want to build nuclear weapons.
Again this assumption is incorrect, there is a difference between having a civil nuclear power sector and a weapons program.
Indeed there has even been complete and total denials by the Iranian President stating that possessing a Nuclear Weapon is un-Islamic.
But most have been programmed to respond 'Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a madman who can't be trusted'.
"Iran has installed 3,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium - enough to begin industrial-scale production of nuclear fuel and build a warhead within a year, the UN's nuclear watchdog reported last night."
This was reported Friday November 16, 2007 by Julian Borger, diplomatic editor of The Guardian

It could be argued that this is just to refine fuel for their reactors but with the setup it now allows them to refine uranium to 90%. Fuel grade uranium needs only be between .9 and 2% pure but is usually refined to 3 to 5% pure. However weapons require at least an 85% now they are really going to produce a massive amount of fuel rods for their reactors (how many do they have?) or they are going to produce weapons grade material grade. These are facts they can be checked through the source I have given, one of several or you can check them independently which I encourage. If you can find fact to refute what I have found please send me your source.
