I think the regime is a fanatical version of religion that has no qualms about killing people. Infidels get what they deserve and righteous followers who die are martys.
I dont know if they would use a nuke but what is certain is they actively promote, suppport and engage in terrorism. If they had a nuclear weapon it would embolden them as they would become untouchable. It would make the world less stable and less safe through increased terrorism. That would be the best scenario.
Sorry cammd, just trying to catch up with things.
Are you talking about Israel there ?
No I think Israel has nukes already, the discussion was about Iran getting nukes, what do think about that. Should they be prevented from getting a nuclear weapon or left alone to do as they please regarding developing a nuclear weapon and delivery systems.
There is none so blind as those who don't want to see.
Oh ffs, another one playing the man not the ball. What don't I see. I think your just fishing for green thumbs like carantoc rather than actually stating a position.
As usual in life, the answer isn't black and white. A nuclear-armed Iran could trigger a regional arms race, drawing in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, or raise the risk of a nuclear exchange with Israel. This is a low probability outcome but potentially catastrophic in scale. Even if such weapons are never used, their mere existence raises the ceiling of possible destruction far beyond that of any conventional regional war.
Paradoxically, the current conflict may be reinforcing Tehran's belief that acquiring a nuclear deterrent is essential to regime survival.
Historically and in deterrence theory, nuclear-armed states tend to behave more cautiously. The Iranian regime in the past has often acted rationally and pragmatically within the bounds of its ideology. Whether it would have remained a rational actor absent this war will never be known, and the regime will most likely be more paranoid post war.
In the near term, the war is already generating significant human suffering and economic damage. But if it fails to permanently neutralize Iran's nuclear program and instead hardens its resolve to pursue a survival weapon, then we could end up bearing the costs of a prolonged conflict while inheriting the very nuclear risks it was meant to prevent.
And, also as usual, you're still managing to sound thoroughly brainwashed
... too many choices, what to sail, continual swapping and setting up gear
