Iran has just as much right to develop nuclear weapons as Pakistan, North Korea, or Israel. Iran should be an ally of the West, not an enemy. They are an ancient civilization, much more stable and reliable than Pakistan. To destroy the reactors they have worked on for so long would only create terrorists.
What if Iran used their nuclear weapons to attack Israel, as they have virtually promised they would?
Where has Iran said they would nuke Israel first?

Ahmadinejad Threatens Israel
01 October 2008
The United States will ask the United Nations Security Council to take up the issue of threats made against Israel by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
President Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” In his address to world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly on September 23rd, he said Israel “is on a definite slope to collapse, and there is no way for it to get out of the cesspool created by itself and its supporters.”
In language similar to the Nazi propaganda that paved the way for the murder of more than six million Jews during World War Two, Mr. Ahmadinejad also said that Zionists were manipulating the world’s financial, monetary and political centers “in a deceitful, complex and furtive manner.”

Most people believe its only the US and Israel against Iran wanting nukes, hell no one in the ME wants Iran to obtain nukes.

The largest supporter of terrorism in the Middle East having nukes is not that big of a threat.....As stated before, Iran alone having weapons is not that big of a threat.
If he's just a figurehead, doesn't that mean he's just saying what he's told to say....making the distinction a moot point?Do you have any statements from the people who actually run Iran rather than loud mouth figure head Ahmadinejad?

That kind of bravado gets folks in uniform killed.

No, I am not. I'm quite convinced they won't give up such control. Of course, with the terrorists they have on payroll, they don't need to.No, not really. You are implying that Iran, which is run by rational folks who run costs vs benefit economic analysis would do what no other country on the face of the planet has ever done: give up control of weapons of mass destruction. That Iran will completely forsake all rational thought it has shown over the course of thirty years, despite having intelligent people in its military to do what no rational regime has ever done.
No, I'm implying that they might gift a small nuke or two to Hezbollah to put on a cargo ship bound for Tel Aviv.Furthermore, you also imply that a regime that has gone to extreme measures to stay in power and never, ever, ever risking their own lives will suddenly change and sacrifice their own necks and their own statuses to eliminate less than half of all Jews despite 20,000+ Jews in Iran.
Iran doesn't give a rat's ass about the Palestinians. They use the Palestinian suicide bombers and terrorists to grind on the Israelis by proxy. They've already killed more than a million Palestinians by funding and fomenting the Palestinian conflict with the Israelis, why would they care about another million now?And then you imply that Iran will do it DESPITE knowing that they will be murdering at least a million Palestinians, vaporize a key holy site of Islam, and turn Islam against their goals retarding if not completely blocking their end results.
They'd probably blame that on Israel and the US as well....I doubt most Palestinians would mind if parts of Israel got nuked.
I am sure that would change when they figure out that water and power no longer work.
No, I am not. I'm quite convinced they won't give up such control. Of course, with the terrorists they have on payroll, they don't need to.
However, stop calling them rational folk. Nations that sponsor terrorists are not rational folk.

BTW, Tel Aviv, which is a much more likely target for a nuke, is not at sacred to Islam.
I bet it felt really good to put those in bold. Did you enjoy scoring the major hit?Then you have lied.

So which will thrill you more, a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv, or a mushroom cloud over Baghdad?
Children with keyboards....that should be obvious.What's more dangerous

I imagine it would be much like the calls that went back and forth before the invasion of Iraq.
Israel has to protect itself at all costs.
But this time we might choose to allow Israel to defend itself so that we could be the "good guy".

I think we have all heard enough from your crowd about mushroom clouds. You are just pigheaded enough to force a situation in which terrorists actually obtain a nuclear device from a sympathetic nation and use it against a major American city.
The UN's nuclear watchdog reported today that Iran had managed to enrich a metric tonne of low enriched uranium (LEU), which UN officials say is technically enough to build a nuclear weapon.
UN officials cautioned that there remained many practical obstacles to the production of a bomb, and pointed out that the uranium was under close surveillance,
