Last year, the U.S. indicated its alarm about Iran’s supplying of weapons and tactical support to Shia militias, and the Administration has called Iran public enemy number one in Iraq. Also Iran’s support of terrorist organizations, particularly Hezbollah and Hamas, remains of deep concern and continues unabated. And finally, the Government of Iran’s intransigent hatred of Israel and its willingness to deny Israel the right to exist is unacceptable and a major hurdle to peace and security in the region. 

So, it is in this context that we must understand the number one question of the day – does Iran seek nuclear weapons and for what purpose?
