Iran is likely to respond to new attacks from Israel or additional Western sanctions by edging ever closer to the nuclear threshold, a U.S. intelligence report says.

Iran is not currently poised to build a nuclear weapon, but it is undertaking activities "that better position it to produce one, if it so chooses" The report says Iranian officials have been increasingly willing to "publicly discuss the utility of nuclear weapons" It says Iran has the infrastructure and experience to quickly produce weapons-grade uranium at multiple underground facilities.
