There is no proof Iran has nuclear weapons.

This has been covered extensively, and this kind of misinformation is exactly the same thing that drove the US and half of NATO into the Iraq war.

Absolutely unbelievable this is happening again!

Iran currently does not currently have nuclear weapons. Iran has a nuclear program to develop nuclear weapons.

Here is an Iranian, Persian language interview with Ali Motahari, deputy speaker of the Iranian parliament:

He says:

  >از همان ابتدا که وارد فعالیت هسته ای شدیم هدفمان ساخت بمب و تقویت قوای بازدارنده بود، اما نتوانستیم محرمانه بودن این مساله را حفظ کنیم
In English:

  > From the very beginning when we entered nuclear activity, our goal was to build a bomb and strengthen deterrence, but we were unable to maintain the secrecy of this issue

There is proof: there is no way the US and/or Israel would have done this if they knew that Iran had nuclear weapons.
