	Obama Claims ‘All Evidence’ Supports Allegations Iran Developing Nukes
	Doesn't Detail Any of this 'Evidence'
	by Jason Ditz, April 02, 2010

Speaking today in an interview broadcast on CBS, President Barack Obama alleged 
that “all the evidence” available to him showed that Iran’s civilian nuclear 
program was secretly aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

The claim was just the latest in a long line of similar allegations by the Obama 
Administration and, as with the previous claims, did not come with any details 
on what all this evidence was, nor any explanation for why all the evidence 
available to the American public, up to and including the most recent National 
Intelligence Estimate on Iran, points in exactly the opposite direction.

Indeed, less than two months ago Obama’s own spokesman Robert Gibbs claimed Iran 
didn’t even have the ability to enrich uranium beyond 20 percent, let alone to 
rich to weapons grade, which would be above 90 percent. Just days after Gibbs 
made this statement he insisted that the US would not rule out attacking Iran.

In addition to the usual unsourced allegations, President Obama reiterated the 
repeated false claims from the State Department that the international community 
was “unified” against Iran, a claim which flies in the face of opposition to the 
US position by China, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, and other UN Security Council members.
