Iran is a politically unstable country that has expressed a desire to attack it's neighbors.  The Iranian President apparently holds extreme views.  These things make Iran's possession of nuclear weapons very dangerous for its neighbors.\n\nIsrael, on the other hand, is politically stable and holds moderate views.  It is not a danger to its neighbors.

Both India and Pakistan have tested nuclear weapons by denotating them underground, so there is little doubt that they have "the bomb".\n\nIsrael on the other hand has never actually tested any weapons, although there is little doubt that they do possess them, although it is not clear just how many they have or how big they are.\n\nIran is a different kettle of fish, as none of the above countries have ever advocated using them unless attacked, unlike Iran, whose supreme Ayatollah has already stated publicly that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth.\n\nIran has stated that it wants to develop nuclear power stations (a basic requirement for building a nuke) in order to help reduce a reliance on oil, a stange thing since the country has the 4th largest oil reserves in the world !!!\n\nThere is no doubt that Iran wishes to build a nuclear bomb, with which to threaten it's neighbours, and possible to use against Israel.\n\nUnlike other countries, which don't wish to be excluded from the rest of the civillized world, Iran is still out in the cold and refuses to acknowledge any of it's duties and responsibilities, hence it doesn't care what the rest of the World thinks.\n\nThe same is true for North Korea, hence the conrcern over these two countries.\n\nBoth are extremely unstable and any nuclear weapons they possess might not be used as a deterent against attack, but might be used to "strike first" at another country.\n\nOther nuclear powers have already agreed not to use such weapons unless attacked - neither Iran nor North Korea have signed up to this agreement. \n\nBasically, you wouldn't place your John Bobbit in the hands of a lunatic with a pair of scissors, so why trust Iran with nuclear weapons ?   Just doesn't make sense.

First, Iran is building a nuclear reactor for electical power use only. It is israel that is insisting that they are building WMD in order to fool the stupid American people into invading their enemies.\n\n  Don't be fooled about Russia, they are helping Iran and had threatened that if Israel attacks Iran they will use their nuclear might against Iran and supply the Palistinians with weapons so they can finally fight back the terrorist state of Israel.\n\n    Israel is the only ones over there that have the greatest nuclear weapons. What makes these war mongers think that they are the only ones allowed to protect their country. If Iran wants WMD's I don't blame them!That is the only way they can keep the war mongering terrosit state of Israel at bay.\n\n  However, if Israel attacks Iran without provocation  ( not one of their fales flag operations where they do the damage and blame their intended target as usual) they ( Israel) will be facing a force they will wish they had not. Iran has the weapons necessary to decimater Israel and totally destroy them. If Israel makes attempts to use nuclear weapons then Russia has sworn to defend Iran with nuclear weapons and China will also join in.\n\n  If Israel attacks Iran, then the poor Palistinian people will recive much needed weaponry  to fight back against Israli  forces that have been murdering Palistinians  by the thousands in what amounts to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Then the Palistinians will finally be able to get revenge on these terroist who murder them dalily. And rightly so!\n\n  Israel is walking a thin line and any move by them will totally devastate Israel and rightly so. They are  boxing themselves in a corner and then there will be no escape for them as the world powers grow tired of this war mongering  and false flag terroist state. \n   \n   I hope they do attempt to attack Iran, then they will finally get what they have deserved for so long for so much killing they have done while western nations cover up the autrocities of this terroristic state every day. Then and only then when they are decimated will the world finally have peace, with the worlds war mongers gone! Praise GOD!\n\n  Their WMD will not help them as they are attacked from all sides. This may be the war that ends all wars before the Lord Jesus Christ  ( GOD in the flesh) comes back! Israel does not want anyone else to have WMD other than them in order that they control the entire region. Thats not going to happen.Israel will push for war after war until they finally get theirs, and I think its comming soon. They had better think twice about Iran because American troops are getting tired of fighting Israels wars for them. They may be surprised that they really don't have the American troops support. I will say my early good-byes to Israel in advance . And after that the world will have peace without these war mongers.

Israel is a nation because it is the will of Allah.\n\nIsrael has nukes because Allah wanted the Jews to have nukes.\n\nNothing in this world happens without the blessings of Allah.

Interesting question.\n\nAt the moment the truth is that Iran is stating absolutely that it doesn't want 'Nukes', instead it is claiming a right to develop a nuclear capacity for peaceful power generation. With the price of oil rising globally this seems a sensible strategy.\n\nOf course the problem is that this could be masking a drive for the development of nuclear weaponry.  \n\nIs this justified?  Well there are two schools of thought.  \nThe first is that for defence purposes it is.  Iran is a developed nation in the Middle East and one of its neighbours, Israel has a nuclear capability.  Iran could justifiably argue that it requires a nuclear deterrent to counter that of Israelis.\n\nThe second is that no, it's not.  Iran has been explicitly threatening to the West and Israel (whom it said it intended to 'wipe off the map') and whilst the rest of the world are looking to dismantle nuclear stock piles, it is incongruous for a nation to be building a nuclear capability.\n\nNot sure of the answer, but hope this helps.

Israel is a responsible democratic country whose nuclear weapons act a deterrent to the Arab/Muslim nations that wish to destroy it. Iran is an oppressive theocracy run by a raving lunatic.

Unlike North Korea (who seems to use their nuclear sabre-rattling every decade or so to extort financial aid from the UN) I am convinced that a nuclear-armed Iran would most certainly detonate a payload somewhere. A move against Israel is very believeable. Iran has shown an attitude of support for islamo-fascist terrorism also. It is not inconceivable for an Iranian produced nuke to end up in a suitcase in say, Times Square.\n\nIf you are a rational citizen of the world and you are not concerned about this issue, you are either very dumb or asleep.

Absolutly.\n\nIran has already said that once they get a nuke they will destory Israel. If you look at the comments from Iran, their goal is not protection but to actully trigger the end of the world... no joke, read up on it. They want to cause a world war that will destroy the earth and bring "Allah" from heaven.\n\nThe rest of the world can not wait till this happens, because if we do nothing then Israel will HAVE to do something, and then we end up in an even bigger war because Israel will be attacked by every other arab nation for attacking Iran.\n\nChina and Russia are just causing trouble as usual because they want that oil money and the techology contracts... just like they did in Iraq.

Israel will launch an attack on Iran only if it feels that it is the only way to prevent an attack. I could see Israel bombing a vehicle that was to supply enriched Uranium if they felt that bombing this vehicle would delay Iran's Nuclear plans by some significant aount of time.\n\nNote that when Israel launched an attack in Iraq's Nuclear plant (condemned by the world at the time) they made sure to do so when they knew there would be minimal casualties on the ground.

But are they only making nuclear power stations? The fear is they will infact use these instalations to make enriched uranium or plutionium for use in nuclear weapons. Iran is an unstable country in the hands of fundementalist Islamic clerics and are sworn to eradicate Judism and Christianity. These people can not be trusted with WMD.

Your damn right they do...and no... they are not right. They are trying to pull a north korea.. *sses\n\nAdditional details. \nI agree with booksbadram that they wnt to build a weapon in order to have a bargaining chip at the table, but also, because they really don't like Israel having them either. Because of the Holocaust Israel has a very good reason not to trust their neighboars, specially when many leaders in the middle east are anti-semetic not to mention anti christianity. To each its own I say, but Israel has no intentions of anexing iran, egypt or any other country for that matter. They have plenty to deal with Hamas and the paleastineans, however they feel (and they should) the need to be prepared in the event of an attack from any of these countries. Believe me, I am not a fan of this whole israel/palestinea situation, but until the paleastenians stop resorting to terrorism, I am going to side with Israel. \nAs for Iran, having an a-bomb would make for great publicity  within their population and would contribute to their propaganda against the west, but who is to say that were tey able to make a bomb they would not provide it to terrorists?   I can guarantee you that if Israel sees any hint of this happening, they will launch a pre-emptive attack, because they are more than likely one of the targets. Anyway, Iran should not be allowed to have an a-bomb period.

Will Israel Strike Iran? I f they feel threatened enough, Yes. They have never  been one to wait and see. Will they use the Nuclears? Not unless they are hit with Nuclears first. Israel has had Nuclear Capability since the 70s.\nWill Iran strike with Nuclears?  No,because they then would be a target for retaliation from the U.S.\n\nWho is the threat ? North Korea, their economy is in the tank,  Their leader  is delusional and wants to rule the world. Their leader doesn't seem to care whether  the populace lives or dies.     What have they got to lose?

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

If told that some countries had nuclear weapons you would barely even bat an eyelash as you know that the country would use that technology for defence purposes only, such as Canada.  Other countries with this ability would make you sweat blood.  Giving Iran nuke ability is like putting a madman in a crowded shopping mall with a machine gun.\n\nIran is now testing very advanced missiles that have nuke capabilities........you better be bothered.

Firstly,I am an Asian and I think your attitude toward the Middle-East is very condescending.I hope you realize that this "blowing up" will result in a loss of miilions of human lives?To answer you question,my response is no.If Iran were to get nuclear weapons it is unlikely that they will target their mainly Islamic neighbours since Iran is an Islamic Republic.Israel however would probably be the first to be attacked by Iran.The Jewish State however has also equipped itself with nuclear technology and would doubtless retaliate as soon as possible.As a result more nuclear-equipped countries would be dragged into the fray perhaps resulting in a much-feared nuclear holocaust.And as for "letting" Iran get nuclear weapons it is possible that they already have a nuclear arsenal.President Ahmadinejad is probably just trying to incite America into invading his nation so that he has an excuse to launch a nuclear attack against the latter.

Did you watch the last war, (desert shield)?  We fired at them and they fired at Israel.  If Iran get their hands on a nuke what do you think they will do?  Let's see, I know generate power for Israel.
