Iran is going to do whatever they want, and the world at large can't lift a single meaningful sanction against them to make them complacent. Even with the latest sanctions, they are still defying the IAEA. We see this every time. All the facts, dates, and URLs, prove one thing. Iran doesn't listen, and isn't required to do so by international pressure. They have a history of it. I just find it absurd to believe that Iran is going to nuke Israel into the red sea the day after they build a bomb. What can they achieve with the threat of nuclear power in a modernized world where everyone has them, including their enemies. Are we literally just revisiting mad again? Unless its just one big last hoorah for the extremist muslims in that region, the world has nothing to fear from Iran. Sure, they are tied to terrorism. So is the US, so is Israel. So is Pakistan. Oh wait, so is everyone that is condemning Iran. More importantly, the US has used nukes in times of war. But that was a good use of a nuclear weapon.
Iran's political and social standing will not shift significantly if they had nuclear weapons. Israel isn't going to vacate out of fear, and the US isn't going to declare that it is no longer a sovereign nation. I just question the real danger Iran is going to be able to facilitate when they reveal they have the nukes. They just join the club. There are all types of weapons Iran could use against Israel, if they wanted to. Some even stronger than Nuclear weapons, but they haven't. Most Axis's of evil haven't gone down the route of gigantic bombs to rid the world of their enemies. And we continue to do business with these evil doers...
The fear of Iran with a nuke is hardly different than without. I do fear for the world if anyone with a nuke decides to use it again. That will be a dreadful day, but if Iran wants to nuke Israel, they have the means to do it legally, or illegally. I understand the national prestige of being a nuclear power, I get that, and that is what I feel Iran is going for. It is an ego booster more than an actual deterrent. The second their weapons are active, the atmosphere above Parchin gets thin, and there is no more life in a 100 mile radius. Thats the reality of the weapons of the world. Sure, maybe they get one off. It hits Israel and eradicates millions. Then the US retaliates, and we are in world war 3 with god knows who. No one wants that world, and that has to be why it hasn't happened. The weapons are in the hands of the wrong people right now. However, in a global economy, you need the rest of the world alive to sell your cheap Chinese wares to.
The world doesn't commit to any real change in the middle east. And WE never will. You've got a live genocide youtube right now, and nothing is happening. No planes are being fueled. No strike packages are being readied. That is a tangible issue. Not a possibility of a future danger because extremist religious representatives have made claims, or are making them.
Its an interesting subject to debate. How do Iranians feel about this? Is their nation spiraling out of control in a race to destroy Israel? Or do they just want the deterrent against the worlds most advanced airforce which is secretly striking them around the clock? There is just so much grey with this subject.
