    WASHINGTON (AP) — Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year.

    The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.

    Iran enriched Uranium to higher levels likely as a mean to get to reopen negotiations. Still enriching is not equal to building a bomb. And if the CIA, who love going to war everywhere in the world, can make that distinction publicly, we shouldnt fall behind that.

      It is just working on producing the explosives for that bomb. Honestly it ends up being semantics, if not planning to finish something, but working towards that goal, is working towards that goal.
