Report finds Tehran keeping options open.

My Comment: The bottom line .... the CIA does not know (for sure) what Iran is doing.

As to what is my take .... I believe that since the Iranian Government has already spent billions of dollars .... as well as putting their credibility on the line that this program will be successful .... has produced a sequence of events in which they cannot (now) turn back. They may be keeping their options open .... but their goal has not change .... which is to have a Shiite nuclear bomb in the near future.
