Topic title and description say it all really.
Can we, should we, shouldn't we, believe Iran that are only making nuclear power or do you think that they're after WMDs? Are the UN right to vote in favour of sanctions? Does the fact that Israel have WMDs have any bearing on this? And so on.
Cheers, Andy.

FWIW I think it's reasonable for the IAEA to insist that it's able to verify what the Iranian nuclear programme is doing...
The Iranian government refusal to cooperate doesn't really prove anything about their intent but it does look suspicious.
seeing as the choice is looking like sanctions or bombing I'd favour sanctions tbh.

As do the several comments from senior people suggesting Israel should be wiped off the map. (Quite how they'll do that without wiping off most of Palestine as well seems beyond them)
