Could The Iran Nuclear Attacks Backfire? 

The primary goal of Israeli and American attacks on Iran was to remove the country's "existential" nuclear threat.

Iran always insisted its nuclear program is peaceful. For some perspective, we bring you Christiane's 1995 report on her visit to Iran's earliest nuclear power plant in Bushehr.
