Here's a shocker. Iran was lying

As a funny parrot once said: "I'm going to die from that surprise".
 
On the downside: The man who for two years led Iran's nuclear negotiations has laid out in unprecedented detail how the regime took advantage of talks with Britain, France and Germany to forge ahead with its secret atomic programme.

On the upside: The Iranians' biggest setback came when Libya secretly negotiated with America and Britain to close down its nuclear operations. Mr Rowhani said that Iran had bought much of its nuclear-related equipment from "the same dealer" - a reference to the network of A Q Khan, the rogue Pakistani atomic scientist. From information supplied by Libya, it became clear that Iran had bought P2 advanced centrifuges.

So...hands up anyone who thought the Iranians were being truthful from the beginning, and still think they want the reactors just for electricity.  Anyone still think they don't want to develop nukes?

The question is whether the west has the intestinal fortitude and the time to stop them.  A good starting point can be found here.
