Three words missing from this article:

2. Arabia

3. Turkey

Saudi Arabia has stated that if Iran acquires nukes it too will "go nuclear."

See for example:

Saudi Arabia To 'Immediately' Go Nuclear Should Iran Develop Bomb

>>Saudi Arabia would immediately push to acquire nuclear weapons should Iran carry out a successfully nuclear test, according to a report in The Times.

[...]

Should Iran "go nuclear", the move would be seen by Riyadh as too great a threat, triggering an arms race in the Middle East.>>

Turkey is still nominally a member of NATO and is, in theory, protected by NATO's "nuclear umbrella." In practice it is drifting away from the USA and Europe. If its Shia neighbour, Iran, acquires nukes, Sunni Turkey will most likely eventually go nuclear.

A nuclear arms racing involving Iran, Saudi Arabia and, most likely, Turkey.

We do live in interesting times.

The Middle East is the most dangerous place in the best of times a slight miscalculation and you have a war on your hands which concerns the West far more than any other area of the world because of its rapacious greed for its energy.

In the last 12 years the West have invaded and occupied Iraq and Libya adding the last two Arab oil states to its list of client states. Not to be forgotten is Iran the West have concocted story after story against Iran and recently those stories are beginning to sound like those that were used to justify the unjustifiable invasion against Iraq which today is in a worse condition and producing less oil then it was 12 years ago.

Iran have attacked none of its neighbors it has been too preoccupied in uniting its country while the CIA continue a covert war and for the first time with the most evil country in the world, Israel, waged a cyber-war against Iran the slightest miscalculation can wreak havoc not only on Iran but on its neighbors.

It is the same players that encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran with the assistance of America and Saudi Arabia. Iraq introduced biological warfare in the Middle East while America and Israel cheered from the sidelines.

Israel sits on 220 nuclear weapons and has repeatedly threatened Iran with war if Iran doesn’t stop developing nuclear power for peaceful means and have publicly appealed to America to assist. This is a country that has a Foreign Minister that declares that he would put all Arabs in Israeli jails in planes and then when they were out from shore dump them in the sea to drown like rats.

Imagine, on the one side the only country in the history of the world that has used weapons of mass destruction twice with an racist state that declares its intention to go to war against Iran and send it back to the stone age or a country that is on its own and has never attacked or harmed anyone?

LOL

The poor little innocent Iran story again.
