The Positivity of Absolute Value

There seems to be some mixed messages coming out of Iran, though it isn't like this hasn't been the case in the past, and it certainly is to be expected.

The Jerusalem Post reports:

Teheran has denied accusations by the US and its allies that Iran was seeking uranium enrichment technologies in order to develop nuclear weapons, saying its program was only meant to generate electricity. Meanwhile, Turkmani told reporters that Syria and Iran's "policy is the policy of strengthening resistance and tackling the threats of United States and Israel."

It is a matter of tact at this point.
Sure the United States is home to the greatest abundance of nuclear weapons in the world. However, not only do we have an army of activists engaged in a serious struggle to strip the United States of its nuclear powers (while facing relatively minimal resistance from the federal government), we have also never claimed that our nuclear weapons cache had anything to do with our military defense system.

If there is one thing I am confident in saying, it's that the United States, this administration in particular, realizes that nuclear warfare would be the worst possible strategic option not only for us, but for the entire global community.

I stress here again that Iran must be stopped.
Though it is imperative they be stopped with nothing more than tacit and relentless diplomacy.
