Iran Designed Nuke Warhead for SHIHAB-3 Missile

Here is an article from the Middle Eastern Newsline:

LONDON [MENL] -- Iran was said to have designed a nuclear warhead for the Shihab-3 intermediate-range ballistic missile.
The United States has briefed several nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency of an Iranian program to develop a nuclear warhead for the Shihab-3. Diplomatic sources said the U.S. briefers asserted that from 2001 to 2003 Iran designed and developed a circular warhead that could detonate at an altitude meant to ensure optimal damage.
An empty nuclear warhead was said to have been installed on the Shihab-3 for two missile tests in mid-2004. The sources said the warhead appeared similar to a Soviet-based intercontinental missile deployed by Moscow in the 1960s.
The sources said that in August the U.S. delegation briefed such countries as China, India, Russia, and South Africa ahead of last month's IAEA board of governors meeting in Vienna. They said the briefing helped persuade some members to either support or abstain in the vote on a British resolution to refer the Iranian nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council. India supported the British resolution, which did not set a date for the submission of the Iranian file.

My commentary:
Here is an argument in favor for why the U.S. is in Iraq. Do you remember how fervently Iraq was in acquiring and building nuclear capability? Isn't that the reason why the United Nations was inspecting and investigating Iraq for years because of this threat? Now, we first defended Kuwait and pushed the Iraqi's back becasue of their pompous hostility toward other Arab nations. We helped Kuwait. This whole time, Iran has been working just as hard as Iraq was in acquiring nuclear capabilities and look at what they are doing now! Is there any doubt that Iraq would have used nukes if they were able to acquire them?
No doubt in my mind! Iran has kept a low profile and has been able to move quickly in the quest for nukes. Here is a nation that is violent, volatile, and full of Islamic fundamental insanity, claiming that they are only seeking "nuclear power". What about using some of the millions of barrels of oil under the earth in Iran to help your own nation prosper?
How dumb and naiive would someone have to be to even begin to TRUST Iran and believe that they are indeed a peaceful nation? Their horrible history, just like Iraq's, stands to prove otherwise. If you do decide to take a blind chance in trusting them, maybe you should also ignore the fact that on a daily basis, thousands of Iranians chant, "Death to America" at the end of their prayers. It is ironic that they call us "infidels" when they are the real unbelievers who pray for violence and murder and a satanic "Jihad". Could any one of these nations, or any one citizen in the Arab world tell me exactly what in the hell the U.S. has done to them? What do they want? Why are they able to get away with so much evil and then veil their lies behind a call for "ALLAH"? Allah should be the same Creator that I believe in, but instead for these fundamentalists, it has become a direct spiritual link to the devil himself.
