The Iranian Nuclear Programme

[gaelic cowboy]

not to mention saudi, jordan, and egypt.

US seems to be warning Iran with the arms sale we saw that they risk a potentially deadly sunni/shia coldwar if they push US too much.

My belief is that Iran will eventually get the bomb and it will rock the cozy US consensus on the mid east. They will have to deal with Iran and bring them in from the cold no natter how unpalatable it might be.

The security of Israel would depend on them having good relations or at least not outright hostility to each other.

If Iran could be turned then a big source of millitant funding would cease and help Israel actually in a way but that is all theory at the minute.
