What is the difference between Israel having a nuclear capability and Iran getting the same?
If Iran succeeds there will be better balance in the Middle East and a Mexican stand off between them and Israel like the one between Pakistan and India.
We are then in the same MAD as we have been with Russia for so many years - everyone has to blink eventually as the reality of a nuclear holocaust puts petty squabbles over resources into sharp focus. No point in having access to the others resources when you are dying of radiation sickness.
The religious drivers of both Iran and Israel are definitely a threat but inflicting armageddon onto your neighbour isn't feasible without wiping yourself out too.
