There's way to much rumor mongering going on about the Central Asian republics. If this were true and clear to US intelligence, why would the President be making a showdown over the enrichment process in Iraq now?

That really doesn't make any sense. Any military action would invite nuclear retaliation from the mullahs. They don't seem to dissuaded from MAD or any nuclear deterrent for that matter.

Although I feel they may in fact have a weapon, I thought it might have been through a combination of Chinese, Pakistani and illegally obtained material via the black market.

That's not comforting either. But the case if you can call it that here, is presented in a much worse light.

So why has Tehran not nuked Israel yet in the last five or so years? They seem like they can't wait to "wipe" them "off the map" which is about as close to a nuclear description of engagement as you can get.

The same reason why North Korea hasn't done the same to the South.
