I don't agree with everything this guy says, but it's worth listening to.

I hear what he says, but if you are not intending to enrich weapons grade materials, why do you go to the expense of hiding your facilities half a mile under a mountain where you have to build tunnels and power facilities into it? When your stated goal is death to <whoever we don't like today> and you are sponsoring attacks on that entity is it reasonable to believe you are not intending to develop the weapon?

Same arguments regarding Hussein and the WMD inspections in 2004… Though, I still find it extremely hard to believe that there weren’t WMD… The only other explanation that I’ll entertain is that he pretended to have WMD programs to try and have some leverage…

You don’t have to believe Israel or Trump. This is from the IAEA:

There ya go.

For me it's never been about believing either one. I looked at what Iran does, not what it, or anyone else, says.
