Feb. 7 was the day that the IAEA formally referred Iran's nuclear situation to the U.N. Security Council, ostensibly leading to either a satisfactory solution or some other action probably starting with sanctions of some sort.  The first paragraph is all you need to read. 

The rest is liberal media spin like this, the second paragraph.

"The dispute centers on whether Iran wants nuclear capability for energy or arms."

Its a dispute?  There's no dispute about it.  Iran's nutcase President flat out said he intends to continue to develop his nuclear capability, to 'add balance' to the already nuclear middle east.  There is no dispute on why Iran wants the inspectors out and is refusing to honor previously agreed-to 'snap inspections' if they only want to generate electricity from it.

And this, the third paragraph.

"Iran insists it has only peaceful nuclear ambitions but France, Germany, the United Kingdom and United States have expressed concern that Iran's nuclear activities could be aimed at acquiring a nuclear weapon."

Forget about the threats to Israel, and the talk that Iran could survive a nuclear exchange with Israel, but Israel could not.  This coming from Iran's President.  Iran can insist all it wants.  For CNN, their press releases mean more than their actions.
