Still dont understand why Iran antagonizes other nations so much though when it is surrounded on all sides. Then again so do Israel but then the've got American backing.

I actually don't think Iran would use them directly if they got hold of them, more like use it as a blackmail tool perhaps.
Heres 3 good reasons why they shouldn't be allowed to get hold of them.
(I stole these, not my words obviously
)1) International law and the stewardship of the United Nations will have been irretrievably ruined. The mullahs will have broken every solemn undertaking that they ever gave: to the International Atomic Energy Agency; to the European Union, which has been their main negotiating interlocutor up until now; and to the United Nations. (Tehran specifically rejects the right of the U.N. Security Council to have any say in this question.) Those who usually fetishize the role of the United Nations and of the international nuclear inspectors have a special responsibility to notice this appalling outcome.
2) The "Revolutionary Guards," who last year shot and raped their way to near-absolute power in Iran, are also the guardians of the underground weapons program. A successful consummation of that program would be an immeasurable enhancement of the most aggressive faction of the current dictatorship.
3) The same powerful strategic ambiguity would apply in the case of any Iranian move on a neighboring Sunni Arab Gulf state, such as Bahrain. The more extreme of Iran's theocratic newspapers already gloat at such a prospect, which is why so many Arab regimes hope—sometimes publicly—that this "existential" threat to them also be removed.

Media making a massive deal about something again. The US don't need an excuse, they would just wade in if they really wanted, they have every other time. You're missing the point that it's simple media scare mongering.
The problem is that they have been clever to hide their infrastructure in and around civilian structures, Israel have no targets, other than the ones Iran would want them to bomb.
Thus looking like an act of war (though nothing terribly important is lost, except Israels credibility), giving the entire region enough reason to rally against Israel under Iran's command.
If that of course is what they are going for, i would personally do this in their position.

Iran's continuing nuclear proliferation is a huge destabilising factor in the region. Going to war would boost Americas economy and push the debt bucket down the road for a while. By eliminating Iran, or bringing it to its knees a huge chunk of the middle east is gone from Muslim power. America would then almost fully surround Pakistan, with India on the other side. Pakistan is now surrounded and its influence is weakened, they stop funding Americas enemies and some stability can be seen to exist in the middle east, but under western influence. Except for a rouge nation here and there, "the west" now stretches uninterrupted all the way from Europe to Russia and China. Russia and China in tern begin to run out of nation states they can arm against the west, as a secondary offence. America et al can now install a curtain of missile defence and launch systems, pinning in Russia and China, ensuring America can sustain its position as the dominating economy of the world.

Hasn't America spent over a trillion dollars they don't have on the "war on terror" in the middle east? As mentioned earlier, the only way they'd make money and boost the economy is on an all out war economy. Like WW2. Oh and lending money to other allied nations particularly the English who are the only suckers stupid enough to pay back said debt.
America runs on the war economy. They havnt stayed in Afghanistan (and Iraq) at huge expense to see in a fair government so that some opium growers can have a better life. A war will create a short term boost to the economy, contracts could be awarded but paid on a medium term basis. Meanwhile America and the west takes near-full control/influence of the middle east and pays off their long term debts with oil revenue and gets a slice of the OPEC pie they so badly want.

And that is what's coming imo. I hope most people see through the lies. Pixel was honest enough to post he doesn't care much about Iran but America needs to stop the BS, but they won't. Scaremongering works wonders in this day and age and the media is a powerful tool that must be used to maximum benefit, I just hope people see through it all, these people are proven liars.
Iran and Pakistan are, and have been at the top of the hit list for a while and as I've been saying for years, it is all to protect and maintain the security of Israel. I anticipate things to really kick off within the next 12-18 months.
have to go and ruin my fantasies with fact... i think they'l do it anyway in all honesty. The way I see it they either face their current economic crap storm, or get the public interested in a shiny new war, while sweeping the matter of the economy under the rug for the moment.

sod the americans, I hope noting comes of it for all our sakes. The Iranian leaders are bonkers, they would just go medieval on anyone in the west who is in bed with USA so i guess we are up the creek
and probably the Saudis too for being collaborating infidels and being friendly with the USAIt was a big scandal at the time it was announced. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/jul/07/iraq.features11 I imagine the amount of money that has disappeared into the black hole of both Iraq and Afghanistan now, is much worse.
Possibly the outspoken intention of wiping Israel off of the map.
I do however, away from this, broadly reject claims of superiority of nuclear armed states in dictating who can have access to what technology, professing Nuclear dissarmament while still playing cold war games with new missiles, delivery and shield technology.
Removing MAD is surely a difficult thing to achieve, but we could show some morality to the world and lead the way.
I would say however, if America want to go into a new war, they're going to need some sort of trigger, bigger than some supposed plot to blow up a few diplomats. I wont suggest they would do some sort of black flag operation, but they might well look to Iran to provoke them...
