WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has been carrying out secret reconnaissance missions to learn about nuclear, chemical and missile sites in Iran in preparation for possible airstrikes there, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday. The effort has been under way at least since last summer, Hersh said on CNN's "Late Edition." In an interview on the same program, White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett said the story was "riddled with inaccuracies."

Does Iran want a nuclear war?

It is unknown at this point whether Iran does or doesn't have nuclear weapons at its disposal. Iran is a big issue for watchdogs these days. It is a topic of extreme caution. If they ever do get to posses them, the weapons have to be transported in order to launch them and it is a process. The location of Iran makes this process a very complicated one to attack on the main us but certain American targets in other places of the world could be threaten. Right now the swine flu should be more worry some that Iran launchiung a nuclear attack on the US but is something to keep an eye for. -It is more likely that Iran will sell supplies for making nuclear weapons than that they will use them any time soon.
