Iran has been offered many deals that would make them huge sums if they were really only interested in peaceful nuclear power. The fact that they refused them all, together with the many times they have been caught cheating the IAEA, together with the nature of their current extraction processes, has made every international obvserver aware that they are not interested in just peaceful nuclear energy. You can go ask all the Europeans, you'll get the same answer.

It's not even a question that is being discussed anymore. The only question still up for grabs is how long until they have the material for their first bomb? Some say six months, some say three years, some say seven years or more. This last answer obviously doesn't take into account the possibility of doing a deal with North Korea, a very real possibility indeed after the reports from the Israeli strike in Syria on September 6.
