In December, President Obama said that he wished to see Iran ultimately become a “very successful regional power.” His wish — a nightmare for the Western-oriented Arab states — is becoming a reality. Consider:
● Gulf of Aden: Iran sends a flotilla of warships and weapons-carrying freighters to reinforce the rebels in Yemen — a noncontiguous, non-Persian, nonthreatening (to Iran) Arabian state — asserting its new status as regional bully and arbiter. The Obama administration sends an aircraft carrier group, apparently to prevent this gross breach of the U.N. weapons embargo on Yemen. Instead, the administration announces that it has no intention of doing anything. Meanwhile, it exerts pressure on Saudi Arabia to halt its air war over Yemen and agree to negotiate a political settlement involving Iran.

Iran
cannot possess a nuclear ability to attack Israel, or another country. I
would keep working to change the Iran leadership or regime, and tighten
Iran economic sanctions. If the other country's Russia, China, don't
help than I would tell Israel to attack Iran, with my country's military
help. "No" would really be (no) coming from me. What you do is who you
are.

Do
you really think the Iranians are crazy enough to launch a nuclear
attack on Israel or the US when it would mean complete annihilation of
Iran???
I would bet that even the mullahs are not that crazy.

Mullah have shown for 35 years that they respect US conventional military means, let allone nuclears weapons.
Israel have both nuclears weapons and missil shields.
It's not about a nuclear attack but about NUCLEAR MONOPOLY !

Are
the Hezbollah terrorist on Israeli borders lobbing rockets across the
border? Iran is the force behind the terror in the Middle East, and
would just be more so with Nuclear weapons. Whose side are you on, us or
them.

Cannot conceive why Iran has become important.

It's the only country left in the Middle East where we can start a new war.
