<<...the emerging Iranian nuclear threats to the safety of people.>

Please rephrase that as the ALLEGED Iranian nuclear threat. Right now the Bush administration is playing it up as a "fact" but we all know how "factual" they can be when they are under scrutiny.
...How nice it would be (for them) to "save" the world from yet another WMD threat!

The actual facts are that the IAEA detected traces of highly enriched uranium during one of their inspections. After much initial confusion the Iranians reported that the enriched uranium traces must have come from a used centrifuge that they had bought (from Russia?). They then pointed out another site where the centrifuge had been stored and that is where the IAEA found the second traces of enriched uranium.
