Yes, Iran is clearly a threat in an arms race. We’ve only got a 70 year lead on them. Oh, you are worried about the Israelis, aren’t you? Maybe it’s time Israel learned how to be a better neighbor. They already know well and good how to take care of themselves. They don’t need us to babysit them.
The Saudi have already made a deal with Pakistan to buy The Bomb. It looks like the race is over. Israel, Iran, Saudi will each be able to the Mid East sand into a molten sea.
“We, as a former colony ourselves, should ALWAYS be on the side of those looking to throw off the yoke of imperialism.”That policy ended around 1900, when Teddy abandoned the Koreans , who believed we would protect them, from Japanese intrusion. Teddy actually told the Japanese that we would look the other way while they marched in. Then we went to war with Spain (we WERE smart enough to pick a fight with someone smaller than us) and gobbled up lots of new territory to plant our flag!
You know why the Iranians want the nukes, though, right? Because WE have the nukes, and they want something they can defend themselves against us with should we ever use them. So the real question to ask here is, why is it okay for US to have the nukes, and not practically everybody else?

“But what’s a little terror between friends?”Just ask any average Iranian citizen who ran afoul of the Shah that question.

“Shock and Awe”, and drone attacks of course bring no fear or terror to the local populace when WE use ’em.
