Incorrect. If Iran had functional nukes neither Israel nor America would have attacked them, and that is the reason why they need them.

Israel would still have attacked, even though Iran has at least one nuclear weapon, and they probably know that Iran has a nuke.

On this path of escalation, neither Israel nor Iran have reached the point when they will use them.

Indeed its quite astonishingly unreal .

The U.S. government officially designates the Iranian regime as the "world's leading state sponsor of terrorism." This is a long-standing official classification that has been reaffirmed by multiple U.S. administrations, including in 2026.

Its not just the USA saying this, there are 43 other countries that think the same.

Military experts agree that a nuclear-armed Iran would fundamentally change the rules of engagement:

Currently, the U.S. and Israel have been able to launch massive strikes against Iranian "hardware" (missile sites and nuclear infrastructure) precisely because Iran cannot escalate to a nuclear level.

If Iran had nukes, they could potentially close the Strait with more confidence, knowing that a full-scale U.S. invasion or "regime change" operation would risk a nuclear exchange.

A nuclear Iran would likely force rivals like Saudi Arabia to pursue their own nuclear programs, creating a "tripwire" environment where any small skirmish in the Strait could spiral into a global catastrophe.

Hard to imagine anyone would want that, but hey it looks like they do?

“A nuclear Iran would likely force rivals like Saudi Arabia to pursue their own nuclear programs, creating a "tripwire" environment where any small skirmish in the Strait could spiral into a global catastrophe.”

In the same manner a nuclear armed Israel and b the illegal war of aggression against st Iran by nuclear armed Israel and the U.S. provides the imperative for an Iranian nuclear weapon.

Aha, so that's why you're such a steadfast supporter of Israel. You're an LGBTQ+ supporter empathizing about their plight in theocracies and other illiberal societies.

Well done, I see you in a new light now, a pink light, Sunny!

Im not a supporter of Israel. I have previously stated I dont believe Israel has a right to exist. Just constant drama, biting Trump when he tried to help/move the embassy, all this me me me attitude. They should move to jew mecca NYC, poison the wells, and let the muslims have the desert. I had more than enough dealings with these people over 25 years with ZERO % success and they are now all banned from my Thai businesses. Enough is enough.

Having said that, they as a nation are infinitely "better" than the Iranian islamic state. To be clear, I have only had +ve experiences with Iranian people, but the Islamo-fascism which western lefties consider themselves allies with I find disgusting.

Incorrect. If Iran had functional nukes neither Israel nor America would have attacked them, and that is the reason why they need them.

Many years ago I used to think it was not so bad for Iran to have nukes since Israel had lots of them. I now think differently.

By disrupting maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a passageway for approximately a quarter of global seaborne oil trade and significant volumes of liquefied natural gas and fertilisers, Iran has been able to impose economic costs on the US, as well as the rest of the world. That, say experts, has given it negotiating heft as it tries to push back against US demands, such as Washington’s insistence that Tehran effectively end its nuclear programme.

The resulting ripple effects have affected energy markets, maritime transport and global supply chains, as tanker traffic was brought down from an average of 129 in February to a virtual standstill.

Mohammad Reza Farzanegan, professor of economics of the Middle East at Marburg University’s Center for Near and Middle Eastern Studies (CNMS), described Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz as a “strategic equaliser.”

“It allows Iran to signal that pressure on Iran will not remain confined to Iran,” Farzanegan, who also serves as a research fellow at the Hamburg Institute for Advanced Study (HIAS), told Al Jazeera.

“Iran cannot match US naval and air power symmetrically, but it has geography on its side,” he continued. “Hormuz is narrow, congested, and economically vital. In such a space, Iran does not need large-scale confrontation to impose costs. Mines, missiles, drones, fast boats, electronic disruption, and the threat of selective targeting can make transit risky even without a total closure.”

In effect, Iran does not need to defeat the US Navy to change the economic calculus of war.

“It only needs to make insurers, shippers, and energy traders understand that military pressure on Iran will carry costs for global markets. That uncertainty alone can raise oil and LNG prices, increase shipping costs, and transmit the conflict into inflation, food security, and financial markets,” Farzanegan said.

Iran’s primary requirement to deter oil tankers or LNG carriers from transiting can be achieved with nearly any explosive projectile. Throughout the conflict, Iran has shown that it possesses a sophisticated arsenal that includes one-way attack drones, fast attack craft armed with antiship cruise missiles, rocket launchers, and even antitank guided missiles that could potentially be launched in large numbers, including from underground coastal facilities.

Israel have been fighting without resorting to using Nuclear weapons .

Israel and Iran have been having a fair fight .

There is no need for Iran to get Nukes , they can fight Israel fairly .

Iran started this war , there would have been a war unless Iran began throe illegal war of aggression on Israel .

Rather then acquiring Nukes, Iran should concentrate on making peace with its neighbours
