A Nuclear Iran Would Not Be Good -Greg SheridanIran sponsors Shia and Sunni [terror] elements.
Iran is a classic demonstration of the limits of realist theory in foreign relations. It is genuinely motivated by ideology, not by a normal calculus of national interest.
Once Iran possesses nuclear weapons, [i]t can paralyze Israel and render life there unbearable, by moving periodically to nuclear alert, forcing Israel to do the same and effectively chasing out foreign investment and tourists and shutting down industry.
A strike on Iran would be an awesomely dangerous and fraught action to take. Allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons may be equally as dangerous. There are no good options.
