The threat is from your assumption of them wanting to get nukes (which isn't too much of an assumption) and your assumption they will use them (which is a HUGE leap) they are not suicidal nutters (despite what the propaganda might say) they would not be willing to use thier nukes and promptly be destoryed...

What is is that makes you think Iran would use thier nukes (presumably the reason you don't want Iran to have them)
Iran itself wouldn't use the bomb, they'd pass it or the technology to someone who could. Also, another nuclear power in the region would be a major destabilizer, especially in the hands of a country which has not only used such aggressive rhetoric but is actively working against Western interests in the region.

I don't see why anyone in a NATO member country bothers to defend them. They are already helping cause the deaths of our soldiers and the soldiers of our allies in regional wars.
