1. How about you not change the topic, and, specifically, don't lay that bull**** on me.
2. You will find that my position on Iran and nuke weapons, posted on PPRuNe forums even, is that I am not surprised they want them, and that given the neighborhood they live in, their desire for that deterrent is rational.
And that I don't care if they get them or not. If they do, all that the US has to do is add them to the target list.
And to be courteous, advise them via diplomatic memo that such esteemed status is a consequence of their own choices.

Dearest Iranian Friends
Congratulations. You are now targeted. You did this to yourself. We wouldn't have to do this if you didn't get yourself some nukes. Hope you enjoy your sleep at night ... knowing that you are now a valid target.
With warmest regards (you do know how hot it gets at a ground zero, right?)
Your Dear American Friends
If they can handle the heat, then I say:
