yup
they have Russians to the N, the Chinese to the East, the Indians & pakistanis to the south east, the yanks with an enormous base right on their doorstep and the ever cheerful Zionists sitting just over the horizon - all armed with A Bombs
If I was Iranian I'd think it was a DUTY for the country to acquire an A Bomb as fast as possible
An excellent point, well made.
Still, it must be difficult, because all those nations that have the weapons desperately do not want any other nations to have them. Being able to threaten nuclear strike gives an advantage. That advantage goes away if the strike-ee can then lob one back at you. A bit like the Russians having a strong dislike for missile radars on its borders. Early-enough warning reduces the effectiveness of their deterrent/diplomatic big stick.
If the Iranians had gone about it in a different manner, and refrained from international belligerence, things might be a bit different. Of course the Israelis would still be up in arms, but when's that ever changed in the Middle East?
