I think the thread has started to spin in circles, and break down frequently.
I think we can all agree:
1) That current evidence seems to suggest that Iran has suspended its weaponization programme, for now at least.
2) It does have an active enrichment programme, of uncertain size. This could be civilian, it could be part of a drive to build a weapon, or it could be part of an effort to attain weapons capacity (without actually moving to a weapon).
3) The military option, regardless of its drawbacks or merits, is off the table for now.
Given this, perhaps we can focus on:
1) What ought to be the goal? No Iranian enrichment capacity? Limited under safeguards? With what quid pro quos?
2) Ought current diplomatic efforts be revised in some way?
